Wikipedia:The Musical was written up here and here. I hope that we attracted at least a half dozen new Wikipedians into the fold. -- Ssilvers (talk) 22:06, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
Heuristics
editShouldn't there be a heuristic that basically looks at text in BLP and checks for "death" and "departed" or whatever euphemisms to alert editors to changes that show this, and place it under review before approval? That way, people can't be reported as deceased unless it's confirmed by at least 2 other editors...Hires an editor (talk) 15:08, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
- We literally have no infrastructure for doing that. Well, we did kind of have an infrastructure (pending changes - love it or loathe it) but it was met with a lukewarm reception by the community and is now not being used. - Jarry1250 [Weasel? Discuss.] 23:10, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
