# There are over 3000 pages under [[:Category:Wikipedia semi-protected pages]]; of which I can only assume a good portion will eventually achieve "pending changes" status instead. This is not to mention [[Category:Biography articles of living people]] which contains over '''500,000''' pages, of which it is safe to assume at least a small portion will achieve "pending changes" status as well. Let's assume that only 1% of BLPs eventually get saddled with pending changes: That's 8,000 articles. Who is going to review all of these? And more importantly, ''what projects will suffer from losing editors to pending changes''. I suspect [[Special:Newpages]] and [[Special:Recentchanges]] will lose some people, and those projects are incredibly backlogged already. There just aren't enough man-hours to go around, and not enough benefit to the Wiki. This is only one of my reasons for not supporting Pending Changes, but I feel a long-winded tirade would be unwelcome here. Great idea, but then again so is communism: It only works on paper. -<b>[[User:Runningonbrains|<span style="color:#000">Running</span><font color="blue">On</font><font color="green">Brains</font>]]<sup>([[User talk:Runningonbrains|talk]])</sup></b> 21:38, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
