Encyclopedic Standards was an alternative arbitration committee with public
credibility, composed of qualified encyclopedists who have the calhones not
to edit anonymously.
Exactly right, and I can't think of a single reason that anyone would
want to oppose this. It wouldn't prioritize content over process, but
would simply put the two on a par, which is the right approach because
the two are inextricably linked. The content-related policies are
already in place; all we need is a committee able and willing to
enforce them.
