It's not because they're not bold, but deciding on culling and eventually
rewriting is time-consuming and not something everyone has time for. At
least with one word edits, the article shows up in recent changes.

We have a surfeit of volunteers? Maybe badly utilised volunteers, but
I see evidence of a lot of work to be done and not enough people to do
it.
Gripe for today: people who make one-word edits to badly written
articles. How do we get people to be very bold on budding articles,
without using "be bold" as an excuse to rewrite established articles
from scratch without consultation?
