“

We.. leave them all alone until Wikimania [ended August 28, 2009]. I'd say we should even give them a few weeks after that if there is some glitch. And then we start raising hell (but gently, respectfully) if it's not rolled out 4 weeks past Wikimania. I've been pushing for this and waiting for this for years now, I suppose a few more weeks won't kill us. :-)

”

— Jimbo Wales (talk) 19:27, 14 July 2009 (UTC) [emphasis added]

BLPs smell like sewers. Flagged revisions have been promised for years now. 'Nuff said.

To the Wikimedia Foundation,

We, the undersigned, demand that Flagged revisions be rolled out without further delay

Note: We are asking that this MediaWiki extension be enabled on the English Wikipedia. This is not a request for implementing a new policy here, merely the ability to allow the community to do so, if it so chooses.

Yes, we need it available to be properly tested.

It's working well on the German Wikipedia, and should be no less successful here.

Flagged revisions are needed on BLP articles for safety and on other controversial artilces (for example ones related to evolution) for accuracy. Rusty Cashman (talk) 04:13, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I pushed to get Flagged Revisions at the Hebrew Wikisource, and it has been a very positive experience using the function. It makes it easier to combat vandalism. But it also makes it easier for new and inexperienced people to contribute, or for one-time visitors to make minor improvements, because now those edits are less threatening, since they do not appear in the default version until validated. Also, we owe it to our readers to give them texts with zero threat of vandalism. Using Flagged Revisions we can do this while at the same time keeping wiki collaboration.

German WP and WikiNews are both running FlaggedRevisions, and I haven't noticed the Four Horsemen, lambs and lions living together, or the sun rising in the west. I think we should at least give FR a chance--even if it's just to lessen the incentive for things like the BLP-deletion-o-rama of the past 2 days. (Though I don't like that word "demand".)

Thoughts, feedback and comments on the talk page please

Please discuss on the talk page - think of this petition as a wiki version of a clipboard with room for a signature and maybe a small comment - the talk page is where you can chat to the folk holding the clipboard, and anyone else milling around.

We, the undersigned, demand that Flagged revisions be rolled out without further delay
