Stevey: I think that diary ratings might provide a better basis for weighting than ranking, since it provides some measure of the persons sensitivity to the advogato audience, but simply asking for a single Master to second an article is probably the simplest measure that would work. I'm mildly against having negative votes for articles: if the concern is emptying the queue there are less divisive ways of achieving it, eg. saying once five later submissions are accepted, the article expires.

What's the problem with posting comments to pending articles?
