a page like the one we've been discussing on Palestinian views on the
peace process are deleted.
I hereby propose a new, semi-automated tagging (in contrast to voting!)
system:
* All logged-in users (yep, my favourite phrase!) get a "tag this
article" link for each article, leading to a "set tag" special page
* Tags can be set for many things: copyright problem, NPOV problem,
brilliant prose, stub, etc.
* There's a "YES/NO" rabio button, so one can say "that's no copy
vio"
* A comment can be added, one per user per article. If a user changes
his/her mind, the old comment is overwritten.
* Special pages can be created from this information:
** Brilliant prose pages (sorted by number of tags)
** NPOV/copyright problem pages (sorted by date of first entry and
number of tags)
** etc.
* Some of this information can be displayed on the article page as well
("This article is considered [[brilliant prose]]")
I suggest to create a new "article tag" table in the database for that
purpose, once we're back on the monster server.
