| - Hey, guys. I was just curious if there are any hard-and-fast rules about when an article needs to be redux reviewed. The page says when "significant" changes have been made, so is it just in the eye of the beholder what that means? Also, would it be helpful for us authors to let you guys know when we've made what we consider to be major changes? Or should we just edit away and expect that an INQ will notice eventually? I'm just trying to get a feel for how we non-INQs can help out with the redux review process. Cheers! ~ SavageBob 16:28, March 15, 2011 (UTC)
* Okay, to the first question: we redux an article when it has been changed to the point that it (or a section of it) needs a thorough copy-edit and fresh review in order to ensure quality—basically, any change/addition that's large enough to make a normal article probation impractical in scope. So, yeah, it kind of is "in the eye of the beholder," but there's a strong guideline for it, and IIRC, last meeting the votes to bring the Battle of Borleias and Form V to the redux page were unanimous. To the second question: definitely let us know, but you don't need any official means to do so. If you know of a page that needs to be reduxed, you could let an Inq know on IRC, contact an Inq on his/her talk page, or just mention it on the meeting page.

* Thanks, Jon. That makes sense. I'm just thinking of situations when a new source necessitates adding, say, a new paragraph to an FA. In that case, I guess it'd be a good idea to inform an INQ and have them bring it up or decide whether to pursue a redux review. ~ SavageBob 18:59, March 15, 2011 (UTC)
