Thread:Talk:New Page Patrol Zoom Interface/Initial thoughts/reply (2)

One reason for focussing on the front of the queue is to quickly get rid of the attack pages. Currently this is one of the things NPP does very well, I'm more critical than most about the quality of tagging and the number of incorrect deletions, but I scarcely ever see an incorrect G10 tag. I occasionally see articles tagged as A7 or BLPprod that should be G10 and would have been deleted more quickly if they had been. But G10s at the back of the queue or in mainspace are thankfully rare.

Deleting G10s ASAP is important - some will be being used for cyber-bullying and if so we want them gone before everyone in the school has had the text linking them to the new Wikipedia article about one of the girls in the school being a pornstar or hooker. Shifting our focus from the front to the back of the queue can only be done if we first find an effective way to screen the G10s and ideally some of the G3s out.

A large proportion of the articles that get to the back of the queue are Goodfaith but borderline notability, somewhat spammy or on obscure subjects, the ones that are easy calls either to patrol or to delete are usually dealt with upfront. I'm pretty sure that most of the unpatrolled articles are actually looked at by a patroller at the front of the queue, otherwise we'd see more G10s at the back. So I'd be very uncomfortable encouraging some of our newest patrollers to shift to the back of the queue.
