Limit reached

Right, so this has now passed the submissions limit, so what should we do? We need to look at a good way of reducing the number of submissions. violet/riga (t) 21:37, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

That's a tough call. The easiest way is to just take the first 15 (or however many the restriction is) that fit the bill, but that might leave out some articles of interest. We could allow people to vote on nominations and however many have the most votes get assessed, or we could eliminate based on length or age of the article. We could also allow only one (or however many) nomination(s) per person (and only by registered, established users). -DMurphy 22:35, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

I just had a thought! I reckon that we should choose the 15 articles that have the most incoming links - that would be at least some indicator of importance. Unfortunately, this is the last evening that I will have a net connection for the next two weeks, so it might make things difficult. violet/riga (t) 21:05, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
