Got a PM from Gene.
Hello.
Just a heads-up. About a month and a half ago we did this.
The script selects the original author of the first edition of relevant pages. Of course, this page will be subject to modifications as the first author is not always the actual author of the latest version.What about the objects that were heavily edited by someone (like 093)? Edited twice? What about collaborations?
So, here's my take. I think this is a good faith effort to identify authors. It's not perfect, but I think it's as good as we can reasonably ask. They've done pretty well in coding this, and I don't think that it's fair to force them to seek out any and all major revisions on the site. I say we let them just use their list as is, and if individual authors/editors want credit, they can contact the Russians directly. Thoughts?
