[WikiEN-l] Flagged revs poll take 2

[Andrew Turvey]

And yet this poll seems to have significantly more support across the board than any other proposal that has been put forward. If there's another way of taking it forward that would have sufficient support, let's hear it.

First sensible response I've seen to this. I thought I was on my own as 
being a determined BLP warrior (or worrier) who opposed this ridiculous 
thing. 

It seems to be a victory of "something must be done - and this is 
something" over common sense. 

This does nothing at all for BLP subjects, screws flagged revisions, and 
introduces a nightmare, all at once. 

Nice indeed.
