what they highlight. When you consider "featured articles" you will find
that many Wikipedias do not have featured articles. For some Wikipedias it
is hard to establish yourself as a Wikipedian when you are a teenager w
Hoi,
What you describe is an additional hurdle to become an editor. This is
something that a community can consider only when it has a certain maturity.
To me it gives the impression of an elitist approach to being a Wikipedian.
The only reason I see why such a hurdle might be considered beneficial

Thanks to all who dropped in on our "office hours" on IRC last
Tuesday. Eugene and I really enjoyed chatting with people and hearing
your thoughts. We had a few comments that it would be nice if there

Has this issue been resolved? I think it would be quite serious if the

Thanks.

Thank's Henning and Gerard for pointing out where my concept was
insufficiently explained.
I don't think about asking newbies to turn in a CV, but to bring them
from the beginning into a senseful contact with more experienced
users. And from my experience at de.wp I don't believe that there

Do you have statistics to prove that they are "few", or that they will

These are some excellent mailing list and Wikipedia stats that Erik has
cooked up/refreshed, although kind of a pain to do meta-analysis on. You can
