Just clarifying what this means. Is this to allow people to use uberpatrol and manually patrol edits, without any other admin powers? TedErnst | talk 15:50, 17 November 2007 (PST)
- Initially this would allow normal patrolling the old fashioned way. I suspect it is a minor tweek to allow access to Uber Patrol -BUT- Uber Patrol is not yet ready for prime time and I personally would not release it to a larger group until the multiuser issues have been fully addressed and the UI has been worked over. Public Release of Uber Patrol should be a high priority and at least 1 Dev person should be assigned to fix and launch it IMHO John 19:29, 17 November 2007 (PST)
I'm inclined to agree with Simon that the power to delete might be too much for this group. What do you think, John? TedErnst (talk) 15:22, 19 November 2007 (PST)
- Lets try it, if it is abused we can remove it John 15:26, 19 November 2007 (PST)
- John, here's my concern. If anyone with the power to grant "PeerReviewer" status has any concerns about "too much power", even the slightest concern, then they will be less likely to grant the status, meaning we will have fewer PeerReviewers. I'd like to limit the PeerReviewer powers as drastically as necessary to get us what we want, which is many, many people PeerReviewing. Sysops have more power and thus we have fewer of them, because we're granting them much trust. As far as I know, no one has yet abused that power, but this is a self-fulfilling prophecy, I think, because we don't grant the powers far and wide. And, I'm not sure what we gain by giving them more power than we think they need to do peer review, honestly.
- This is not critical to change immediately as we are just learning how to give the new status and how to train people in what to do, but when we're thinking about who to give it to, I this this has to play a part, even just a very small part. Thoughts? TedErnst (talk) 06:15, 21 November 2007 (PST)
