I was thinking of something different over the
weekend. A Wikipedia
Article Subjects Noticeboard, where people or organizations could post
things which they object to (short of what the Office would *have* to
deal with) and editors can watch and respond to normally.
That's the sort of idea I was thinking of.
Would enough regular editors actually respond? That's the only thing
I'm wondering about.
I was thinking that the process could be something
like "First, please
post a comment on the article talk page with a detailed explanation of
what you object to and why, and identifying who you are and what your
official standing is. Then, add an entry to the top of the list below
with template {{Subjectnotice|articlename}}, add some comments, and
sign it... Please do so from a logged in account so that people can
respond on your talk page as well as the article talk page."
I haven't created the template (I have no idea how they work).
Does anyone think this is a bad idea? Positive comments?
It sounds n00b-hostile. What's the lightest-weight process from both
sides that would do the job?
