<pre wrap="">Looking at all these discussions, it seems that while people are
understandably annoyed when someone ruins their careful work, the
thing that really pisses them off is if they can't contact the author
because he has not "made his edits public".
So there's someone wreaking havoc on your data - and you don't even
know who he is, cannot contact him, nothing! The only handle you have
is that he does what he does with Potlatch, so naturally you call for
Potlatch being switched off.
I think this is the core of the problem. And while I have said in the
past that I would like fully anonymous edits without even registering,
I rescind that now and say: No more edits by accounts who haven't made
their edits public!

This is a good idea and it reminded me of another user-generated-content
project that didn't just allow feedbcak, but also encouraged giving it.
I used to contribute to Distributed Proofreaders (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.pgdp.net/">http://www.pgdp.net/</a>)
and they had a very nice system for smoothing the learning curve:
When the user submits a proofread page, there's a checkbox "I'm a new
user and would like feedback on my work". A more experienced user
would see this when he does the 2nd proofreading and could comment or
complement...
This worked wonderfully when I encountered some difficult situations or
when I was unsure of the quality of my work.
The workflow in OSM is totally different of course, and I'm not sure how
a "feedback wanted"-flag could be implemented, but I'm positive that if
it was implemented it would be very useful.

Hi,<br>
<br>
I think this would be wonderfull! Not only for new users, but also for
the more experienced ones. In some situations a second opinion is very
usefull in stead of just trying something.<br>
