⇒normxxx|talk⇒email22:52, 22 January 2006 (UTC) I am something of a newby (about 6 weeks)— but (I hope) am learning rapidly. Some degree of "filtering" of content seems advisable at some point along in the process of becoming a "stable" article. Otherwise, knowledgeable editors may be left with just defending existing articles and being frustrated by general rules to limit "edit wars." This "filtering" need not greatly limit well meaning contributions, even if way off the mark.[reply]
(But, as I have been occasionally reverted with little or no comment, I would insist on some explanation with any reversion on a first occurance of some input, even if only a boilerplate explanation.)
Deciding who gets to decide (and what the appeals process will be) is a little like Quis Custodiet Ipsos Custodes? or, Who will bell the cat? But I am sure persons of good-will can come up with a reasonable and workable solution. (I firmly believe that, although I have usually been proved wrong!) With such a large and varied membership, how do you plan to proceed— or, is that somewhere on the page that I haven't read yet?
P.S. Does entering a comment here qualify as becoming a "member?"
