Line 170:

# '''Endorse Position #1''': I agree with the stated position: the negative aspects outweigh the positive. I've seen this in action on some pl.wp pages and it seems to be confusing and discourages editing IMHO. I suspect that PC might be related to part of an anti-wiki backlash - there's too much danger to authoritarian organisations of losing too much control over knowledge distribution, and PC might offer a way to bog down Wikipedia and wikis in general by legal challenges over editorial responsibility and by encouraging internal struggles over editorial control that distract from the main issue of article content. I'm not suggesting that individual Wikipedians in favour of PC are trying to support authoritarian organisations - the pressure from authoritarian organisations should be expected as a systematic effect - partly through secret, offline pressure on WMF Board members, partly through indirect pressure on Wikipedians, through mainstream media misrepresenting the nature of wikis and the responsibilities of ''readers'' to judge the quality of the information they read.

# On top of everything else I find the notion odd that FR has improved de.wp. On the contrary, it has introduced one more subtle level of hierarchy to make the climate worse than it was before. --[[User:Pgallert|Pgallert]] ([[User talk:Pgallert|talk]]) 07:57, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

# I would say '''No changes should be blocked''',for not any second, but '''This should only be used for marking''', state what pages haven't been reviewed.[[User:Justincheng12345|Justincheng12345]] ([[User_talk:Justincheng12345|talk]]) ([[:zh:User_talk:Justincheng12345|urgent news here]]) 11:01, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
