nlwiki has a much simpler solution: "Mark as checked". This is an option that is available on mediwiki, and can be turned on on request. (This also interacts with henna's vandalfighter.) --Kim Bruning 00:38, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Could be worth a try.--Doc glasgow 00:41, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
If it was me, I'd think very hard before proposed this. Administrators, for obvious reasons, tend to have relatively little content creation experience, so they'd be entirely the wrong people to do this. <understatement>I don't think I'd be the only editor rather less than delighted by the idea that a wikignome with 10,000 stub-sorting edits, and wide experience of whack-a-mole and blocking bored schoolkids, would be placed in a position to judge the suitability of my contributions.</understatement> Janitors don't get to pick the books for the university library.
That aside, admins are already finding it difficult to cope with the pressure of work, so we hear at RFA talk. You and Kim Bruning are among those who think RFA is broken and that more admins are needed. So where is the admin-power for this going to come from? It might work on the Dutch-language Wikipedia, but that's a pretty small setup compared to the English-language one. en:User:Angusmclellan 02:57, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
