Hi.
At ptwiki, we recently implemented a usergroup to help with the backlog
of
requests for speedy deletions, articles for deletion,
and others (see
http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Eliminadores). This was done to
try
to dismistify the admin role, and increase community
participation in
admin
tasks, trying to counteract the significant decrease
in the number of
admins
during the past two year (we currently have less than 40 admins). I
invite
you all to accompany this as I believe that the
success or failure of
this
strategy will have valuable lessons for other
projects.
A similar group has been active in Russian Wikipedia for about a year
(only deletion reviews, no speedy deletions). It has been generally
regarded as a success.
Cheers
Yaroslav
