I think we should get the community involved without having to encourage them to edit, or the other extreme of the pendulum, have them go into anarchy. This idea has good intentions, but it's just way too risky. It requires way too much supervision from Admins and VCROC, plus there are many users out there who are, let's admit it, that make unconstructive/bad edits. I just have a feeling that it's going to cause more mess than it aims to resolve. Okay so if we cannot take time to train editors then how would you suggest that we get more? It's rather obvious that doing nothing gives us nothing but 2 - 3 skilled editors that are few and far between. Rather than training a large group of them in just one day, we should individually, over the course of a few weeks, and even months, tutor them through Chat, Talk Pages, Blogs and such. I agree with you that taking time to attract more editors should be done. It's a great idea in fact. I just worry that mentoring a HUGE influx of new editors during the course of one day could be very messy.

You know this is up for discussion. So it in fact can be changed. Tutoring through talk pages is a terrible idea though. It's planned as a day to sort out those who have pre-existing knowledge of editing and getting them to help out with the site. Well, in that case then, I do change to. Although I should warn it still took me a few weeks to get properly adjusted to editing even when I had pre-existing knowledge of editing And the Talk Pages point was just a list of potential ways in which people could show others how to edit properly. Whichever way works best personally, I guess!
