*:'''THIS.''' Wikipedia is already a place where some pigs are more equal than others. -- [[User:Jmaynard|Jay Maynard]] ([[User talk:Jmaynard|talk]]) 01:57, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
*::The equality of pigs seems to be an argument ''in favour'' of PC. Rather than new editors not being allowed to edit semi-protected articles at all, PC will allow them to contribute. —[[User:Arctic.gnome|Arctic Gnome]] <small>([[User talk:Arctic.gnome|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Arctic.gnome|contribs]])</small> 19:23, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
*:::The question isn't ability to contribute but edit retention, Arctic.gnome, since edit retention correlates somewhat with editor retention. Anon makes an edit, sees it's got to go through a bozo filter, stops bothering. —<font color="228B22">[[User:Jéské Couriano|''Jeremy'']] [[User talk:Jéské Couriano|v^_^v]]</font> <sup><small>[[Special:Contributions/Jéské Couriano|Bori!]]</small></sup> 20:32, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
*"The minor problems encountered in the trial did not demonstrate the unworkability of the system; instead they demonstrated that it basically did work." By what metrics? —<font color="228B22">[[User:Jéské Couriano|''Jeremy'']] [[User talk:Jéské Couriano|v^_^v]]</font> <sup><small>[[Special:Contributions/Jéské Couriano|Bori!]]</small></sup> 21:36, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
*:Have you read the metrics that have been collected? For example, did you know that PC permitted us to benefit from more than 200 good edits from unregistered users per day during the initial trial, all of which happened on articles that had previously been semi-protected?
