senior editors and baseline quality

As I said, it is less than ideal, but better than anything else I have seen suggested. I am very hesitant about blocking: somebody on this Wiki said that if you have never been blocked you are proven never to have stuck your neck out (you just do not care). And to some extent this is true, you can easily be blocked for the best of reasons: that is the way the system works.

What is wanted is proven commitment to core values; and at least somebody who has written a FA will have been exposed to them and is almost certain to have given them some thought. That does not equate to commitment, but it is at least something. - Brya 05:09, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
