[mb-users] Brainztorming: rank edits, not users

[Fred Marchee]

Hi all,
> I had an idea while showering this morning. There's been some talking
> about adding new user levels between the standard editor and
> autoeditors, or otherwise provde a ranking system to tell the bad
> edits from the good.
>
> Objective: find those edits most in need of checking (separate noise
> and signal in the edit queue)
>
> I'm thinking that instead of ranking users and changing the voting
> periods, we could rank each edit individually based on a numer of
> factors, where the user is only one.
>
> Examples:
>
> Edit starts at rank 0
>
> - if the edit is from an editor with less than 10 votes, increase rank
> dramatically
> - if the edit is from an editor with high failed edit ration, increase rank
> - if an has no-votes but no comments from no-voters, increase rank dramatically
> - if add release edit is missing release event, increase rank
> - if add release edit is missing discid, increase rank
> - if add release... (you can think of many parameters here)
> - if add wikipedia AR links to article of very different name, increase rank
> - if removing release with discid, increase rank
> - if capitalization doesn't match what guess case would give, increase rank
> - if script doesn't match with actual content, increase rank (e.g.
> check if all characters are in unicode latin blocks)
>
> I think you can imagine many "filters" which can be applied
> automatically and give an indication of the quality of the edit.

Rewarding enthusiastic editors/edits is like music in my ears. Keeps you 
working for hours....

Add to your list:

Editor is a regular contributor -> higher rank
Editor is member since.... with ** edits/month -> the higher, the higher 
the rank
