[Imc-web] PT trial edits, etc.

[Phil Stinard]

Hello,

Forgive my lurking.  I really shouldn't care since I'm not a ucimc editor 
and I haven't posted/commented on ucimc in a very long time, but this is 
getting ridiculous.  First of all, Brian, it's a hallmark of good journalism 
for writers to edit their articles and consider the consequences of what 
they write before publishing.  If on the (hopefully) rare occasion something 
really needs editing, then have someone who knows what they're doing do the 
correction.  Secondly, it seems like a bad policy that editors have the 
authority to feature their own articles.  It would be a good idea to run it 
past another editor (and the list) first.  Third, editors should be trained 
before being turned loose.  Fourth, isn't there any way to document who 
creates and edits articles?  Where I work, everytime someone creates or 
edits a record, it gets stamped with who created it, who edited it last, and 
when.  That's all I have for now.
