Ok I hear you. Let me walk this back a step. Not the same standard, but a standard beyond now that gives some visibility to the process. I know there is a process of monitoring, analysis, communication and action followed by the DWG. Let's document that. And a simple not burdensome log of actions - summarizing the above. This visibility will improve community understanding of the process, help to spot trends, and improve everyone's work overall.<br><br><br>Mikel<br><p style="font-size: 15px; color: #715FFA; padding-top: 0; margin-top: 0">On Wednesday, January 4, 2017, 5:00 PM, Richard Fairhurst <richard@systemed.net> wrote:</p><blockquote class="iosymail"><div id="msgSandbox_AKHmjkQAQ4tBWG1wdAQuUNex7Rk_TEXT" class="msgSandbox" style="padding: 1.5em 0.5em 0.5em 1.2em; word-wrap: break-word;">Mikel Maron wrote:<br clear="none">> Reverts should be held to the same standard as imports (outside <br clear="none">> of obviously urgent problems).<br clear="none"><br clear="none">Where a revert of an import (or other automated edit) is done by DWG because<br clear="none">an import did not follow the rules, reverting that import just goes back to<br clear="none">the status quo ante.<br clear="none"><br clear="none">That allows damage to be cancelled out and the import to be retried, later,<br clear="none">when the problems have been addressed.
