Summaries

Posting by anonymous users should be limited, but not banned (S.Rampton)

  1. limit (say 5) to postings made every 24 hours by an IP. 
  2. further edits generate a message of the limit and inviting to register.
  3. Registration made more difficult to deter frivolous and mischievous. up to 25 edits during the first day. After that, ISP-based email (not Hotmail) will have no limit on edits. else 25 per day.
  4. No more than 10 registered within 24-hour period from any IP. 
  5. two levels of registration, Users and Editors. Only Editors can make "minor changes."
  6. Promotion from User to Editor status would be by nomination by two other Editors, given only to Users who have good English and have shown they can write.
  7. Articles may be nominated for Completed Article status. Nominations must be seconded, and there must be a week's time for objections. Once an article is registered as Completed, may only be edited with approval of some sort.
  8. A higher level of WP would be created, with another name since not strictly a Wiki, at which only Completed Articles would be visible.
