I think insiders will adjust to any name we choose, as some of our existing names attest. So I think as long as the name isn't hideous or actively misleading, then my main criterion is how it comes across to novices. For them, I'd suspect most will take "double check" as it's used colloquially, but if some do get the notion that it's checked twice by others rather than once, I see little harm done. Personally, I think that's the direction that the system should take in the long term: there's no reason to stop multiple people from opining on an edit, and there's substantial potential benefit. > What is your opinion of the proposed name "Revision Review"? > I confess that I've mainly avoided having an opinion on this topic. Not that it isn't a worthy thing to consider; good names are incredibly important. It's just they're also a lot of work, and much of my attention is focused elsewhere. I suspect I'll be hesitantly fine with whatever name ends up getting picked. Fine because there are several good candidates and plenty of smart, skilled people involved. Hesitant because my preferred way to measure names is by user-testing them to see how names drive pre-use perception and in-use behavior. That's impractical here, so we really won't know how well our chosen name works until we see reactions to media stories and actual use.
