Site Suggestion: Public Profiles without Sources

+7 votes
180 views

There are a couple of profiles I have stumbled across that have Public security, have had no changes to the profiles in 13 years, and requests to the profile managers have gone unanswered. I believe the profile managers are inactive.  Because they are coded as Public security it’s impossible to make any changes to the profiles.  

Is there someway to have wiki management run a query to find profiles that have:

  • not had changes/edits in a long period of time, 
  • are unsourced, and 
  • have Public security?

it would be nice to at least tag these as unsourced so active WT members can improve the profiles.

Examples:

Stadler-16

Beck-365

The somewhat slower but better option is to try to get in touch for a last time, and with no response use the non-responsive manager option.That will free up all profiles and enable others to step in.
