On pl.wikisource each correction level means that another person did the
correction
again. The green status means the page was corrected three times
by three another persons.
The colours are just for marking the status page, it's not per se a
correction and only two people are actually needed ; but yes, it's the more
or less the same on each wikisource with the proofred system.
Corrected, not read.
Uh? Correcting without reading?
In my opinion Big Green Button Correction is useless.
New users can click
only for stats, not for proofreading. And nobody would check it
again,
because the book would be finished.
Please dont bite the new users or imagine that they're all evil. Maybe you
had a bad experience on plwiki but that's not always true.
Think about it: When you were new users, did you edit only for stats?
I check *a lot* the green pages since *sometimes* there is still little
correction to do (a new and better templates, some strange typo like «
word » - with invisible hyphen - or « wоrd » - with a cyrillic о - instead
of « word », ).
We are asking new users to validate the pages for the
second time (from
red to yellow level): new users can learn how the templates and
raw codes
are working, but when they do something wrong, an experienced user would
check it one more time -- to make it green. If they would not edit the
page, they would never know how the templates works. So they would not
become a better editors...
Can't they do both?
And should we really make the life of users (new and old) hard when it's
not needed ?
We all can do only red pages, why not. We'll get a
"perfectly readable
and functional book" with some errors. But should we
give its the same
status as a proof-read three times book? Green status means "almost
perfect". We shouldn't make green pages automatically, only to make our
stats better.
No, only red pages is not "perfectly readable and functional book.
How many is « almost » perfect? 80%? 90% 95%? 99%? that's a tricky question.
And if a book made of 500 yellow pages already at 99% perfect, isn't the
BGB usefull?
Correction without correction is not a good idea.
It's a lie.
Very true but the BGB is not about correction, it's about marking as
correct something that already is.
