Thread:Talk:New Page Patrol Zoom Interface/Can we apply a similar anti-vandalism approach to NPP?/reply (11)

I don't  believe the control of A1 and A3 can sensibly  and usefully  be dehumanised. There is almost always something  on  the page, and in  my  own  experience, it  is  fairly  rare that  they  are in  fact  the beginnings of a serious new article. Whether they are or not, a bot can't  replace the cognition of an experienced patroller, or the deleting  admin. With even very little content  A1 and A3, apart from  sometimes being  random  hits at  a keyboard,  are often attack, linkspam, or test  pages that  should be summarily  deleted, and fast. I guard against  looking  for electronic solutions for everything just  because Wikipedia is an electronic encyclopedia.
