QUOTE(Milton Roe @ Wed 16th June 2010, 1:22am) QUOTE(Malleus @ Tue 15th June 2010, 5:13pm) QUOTE(Ather @ Tue 15th June 2010, 11:40pm) Have you seen the rapidly expanding list of reviewers? There are some rum ones in there! Practising socks and assorted arseholes all over the place. I think I might apply (as a sock not an arsehole). What I'm finding extraordinary about this whole debacle is that so many seem to think that they're being trusted with a new right, whereas the truth is that they're grudgingly being allowed to keep a right that they already had until yesterday. Would somebody like to clue me on what these people do? If it involves reviewing IP-edits in some queue for articles that are sprotected, I'm certainly not playing. Personally, they can stay there in limbo forever, as far as I'm concerned. Does this in any way affect my ability to edit as a nameuser? Yes, it does. In a nutshell, if you don't have this new "right", then any edits you make may need to be approved by one of these "trusted" new reviewers before they're visible to the great unwashed.

Well, the page (link at the head of this thread) claims: Edits by autoconfirmed users (registered for four days, with ten edits) are automatically approved except in some rare cases. Well, what are these "rare cases"??

Well, what are these "rare cases"?? Depends on who edited the article before you did, and on the level of this new protection that's been applied. There's a table somewhere that attempts to make it all a bit clearer. Cripes. Can't they just grandfather in people who've been editors for more than 2 years and have 10,000 edits or something? *%$# (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/furious.gif)

Yes. Plus, why do anything by automation that your lackies can do in manual mode? It's like Chinese build-your-dam-with-shovels routine. Emperor Jimbo and his Coolies. The irony. This policy change is happening on a website where they refused to sprotect most articles, on grounds that they can't, since if IPs couldn't get instant gratification, they'd be so offended as not to edit rather than register (which takes very minimal effort). But now, they're planning to treat their senior editors that way! (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/huh.gif) (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/wacko.gif) And WHY are they doing this? Well, so that IP-anon users can still edit most articles and continue to get immediate gratification. I'm beginning to feel a sort of middle-class squeeze. Perhaps I need to resgister to be a reviewer, and then not review. (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/ermm.gif) The shear stupidity of the management of Wikipedia continues to boggle the mind.
