What is this?

• To come up with a strategy for making sure that the unpatrolled recent changes are kept under 3000.

Why we are doing this

• To invite views from community members for a common strategy to keep unpatrolled edits under 3000 so that:
  • To make sure that the changes are being monitored all the time
  • To ensure that all edits are constructive in nature, so that less vandalism is seen by readers.

We are done when

• We have come up with a strategy for keeping unpatrolled recent changes under 3000

Strategy

The most "critical" time for unpatrolled recent changes is Monday morning, because there is a gap of 39 hours between Friday evening (Portland time) and Monday morning (Lahore). So the two things that we need to do to keep unpatrolled recent changes under 3000 are:

• Cleanup the recent changes before leaving on Friday evening
• One or two people (on a rotation basis) volunteer to keep an eye on the recent changes over the weekend and patrol them if it gets higher than 3000
• Email alert to all staff members if RC goes above 3000
