Thread:Talk:New Page Triage/This is going to bite more newbies than the present system/reply (3)

This is a known problem, and I came across it many times when I was still working in ru.wp. Now I went to the end of the que of the articles which were not patrolled (on en.wp) and experienced it again. If I see a two-line stub which has no references, no categories, unclear notability, and no internal links, the easiest is just to leave there a bunch of templates and leave it patrolled (or not patrolled). As a responsible editor, I am doing more, for instance, I am looking for sources and insert them to the article. But in this way, it costs at least half an hour to improve (not even to extend, meaning adding new material) to a two-line article which is not immediately in my field of expertise. We can not really expect that all editors are so responsible that they start spending half an hour for each two-line article, and if we require this, they would rather not touch them, and the patrolling backlog would grow enormously (this is what happened on ru.wp and then some patrollers decided to set records and started to mass-patrol edits with an understandable drop in the patrol quality). Currently, I do not know how this could be solved.
