In the view mode of the yellow Pages (sic! :-)), we
can add the "Thin (but
long) Green Button" (TGB) described: "I read and carefully compared the
contents with the scan - there's no mistakes." :) Users who "DO read our
books" (and they do not want / do not have time / skills... to edit) click
on this button and simply go to the view mode of the next page. Such a
click would be counted (extra field in the mw database), but did not cause
an immediate change of the Page status. If for a given page will be counted
three??, four?? such clicks (this amount would have to have the ability to
configure for each WS - community could determine their "quality threshold"
- for "one click" it will became into BGB), then the Page status would
change automatically from "yellow" to "green". Of course, it would be
also
configurable, to whom show TGB (ip, registered, autopotrolled ...).
Such a solution would have be implemented directly in the proofread
extension.
"TGB" would allow adjustment of the level of "quality" and would be
acceptable by most the community. If it is true that " a lot of users DO
read our books," even for 5-4 "clicks" the status would change quickly.
I do like this approach, and I'd love to see some tests.
I really believe that is good to do tests and experiments, as we are
sometimes convinced by things that are not really proven.
A 3 step validation passage as you suggest could maybe be easy enough for
new users and casual readers, and we could gain some validations we could
not have had otherwise.
I also would like to repeat my question about the Visual Editor: are we
close tho that or nobody is working on it?
