**::I pretty much don't understand this argument. You want the English Wikipedia to be "the encyclopedia that anyone can edit", right? But you object to a system that allows 200 good edits to be made each day, and 400 bad edits to never see the light of day, because only a third of the edits were good? And then you propose, as the ''preferable'' approach, that those 400 bad edits be shown to all readers? How is getting 200 good edits ''and'' showing 400 edits of obvious vandalism and libel to readers ''better'' than not getting 200 good edits and ''not'' showing vandalism and libel to our readers?

*"It also will help against self-promoters, allowing established editors in good standing to contribute and sockpuppetters to be blocked." Unless you can apply PC to redlinks, the first is effectively impossible and the second is already done by semi-protection (as most sockpuppetteers make socks '''specifically to cheat it''', making them all the more obvious). Aside from putting all anon/new user edits through a bozo filter (which {{tl|editrequest}} does equally as well) what does PC do that semiprotection cannot? —<font color="228B22">[[User:Jéské Couriano|''Jeremy'']] [[User talk:Jéské Couriano|v^_^v]]</font> <sup><small>[[Special:Contributions/Jéské Couriano|Bori!]]</small></sup> 21:12, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
::Editrequest plainly doesn't do it equally well. If you want to just fix a typo, it's non-intuitive and a hassle, and you are not likely to bother. At least, I wouldn't. [[User:FormerIP|FormerIP]] ([[User talk:FormerIP|talk]]) 22:25, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
