I have already made my feeling clear on the Ulfric talk page, but I'll agree with TombRaiser's post for this - but I need to make one point crystal clear:

Timeoin said: "For one thing, we now have a HECK of a lot more patrollers than we did back when the policy was introduced."

This is pure myth. I patrol the Recent Changes when I'm online and I see absolutely no evidence of this. Lets look at our list of official patrollers. Of those 4 active names, AutoBlood is the only one who is active. Of the regular "non-patroller status" users, I count about 3 or 4 people who are actually reverting bad edits and the like. For the size and activity of this wiki, that is tiny.

The Fallout wiki is a different culture, and is 10 times more efficient at patrolling bad/poor edits. It's not even about vandalism. Vandalism is easy to fix - it's the unsourced, shoddy and unsubstantial edits that creep into pages and stay that is the issue.

By all means, unlock all the pages if that's what the community wants. The question is will the same community help out when it comes to checking, verifying and fixing the very edits it fighting to include? Based on the Recent Changes activity - I inclined to say it's unlikely.
