huh

...and I'll just drop here that errors at both PotD and OTD are pretty much 99% the "fault" of a single editor in each case. :) Get those editors off those projects! —valereee (talk) 19:02, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Valereee: The first part of that was my conclusion too; DYK was far from the worst when it comes to putting errors on the main page; if we have a problem of errors on the main page (and I'm not sure that we do, in that I suspect what we have is a broader problem of insufficient scrutiny in our peer review processes) it's not local to DYK. Really, I ought to keep maintaining these stats; but a) it's a ton of work that I'd rather put into actual reviews, and b) these two months of data did absolutely nothing to affect the opinions of those convinced that DYK was the source of all the trouble; so I stopped bothering.

I think we should be directing people to this every time anyone makes a comment from now on how error-ridden DYK is. It's brilliant. —valereee (talk) 10:05, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
