So, I had a look at articles for creation today,
and there was nearly 1,000 pending article submissions. Articles for creation has changed
a lot since 2008 - it was of a similar structure to XFD - all submissions for a particular
day were on one page, and people could come along and approve or reject based in certain
criteria.
I can't remember the number off the top of my head, but the number of submissions per
day back then and the number of submission now is on a totally different order. The
solution is to get more experienced editors reviewing submissions.
The solution indeed would be to get more people participating, there's no doubt in
that, but with over 1000 pending submissions (not declined, pending) we need to think
about what else we can do to fix this.
I think that system worked well. True, we have a
lot more article creations, but I think it gave more visibility than the current system
where everything is subpaged.
I agree to that to an extent but one major advantage with the current subpage system is
the retention of page history when an accepted submission is moved to mainspace compare to
previously where the reviewing editor start a new page and manually copy and paste the
submission over.
Perhaps we could restructure things so it's like AFD - in a daily log, everything
subpaged but all new submissions in one single page per day - then we can check each day
off once it's done. This worked in the past, I think it would work now.
