::It might be a good idea to have a section in the Big Write page where authors can make 1 to 3 requests. While I would not wish to push for anything and thus color an editor's independent judgment in selecting their 3 to 5 articles, it could be helpful for editors in making their selections to see which articles present author's are willing to make credible starts on.

I guess it's a request for a review, in that case.  Sure, I don't see why not...it's just that, then, we need to tell editors that we want them to look over the requested articles to see if there are any they want to review, and we need to make rules for this sort of game.  They won't be complicated, but then, the rules for the Big Write aren't complicated.  Anyway, this could be a Big Review--which might end up being more successful than the Big Write. --[[User:Larry Sanger|Larry Sanger]] 21:27, 23 February 2007 (CST)
