Regarding Slim's problem w/LaRouche, and building
on Steve
Rubenstein's comments about the lack of a mechanism to deal with
violations of content guidelines, perhaps we should have a new
category of special editors in addition to admins and bureaucrats and
arbitrators. We could promote certain editors to "Expert" if they have
recognized expertise in a certain topic area, so that they could
arbitrate content disputes.
Why? There are already experts who don't let a few trolls and ignoramuses
put them off. The quality of content on Wikipedia is surprisingly good.
I think this means we're doing something right.
