I read a lot of misunderstanding here,
probably due to the fact that none of us are native speaker.

@Wiera Lee: please, please, please, don't shout.
This is a civil discussion. What Alex did is just a button that you double
click and you go directly in the Edit mode. Nothing more, and only I have
it. It's *definitely not a final decision of any kind*.
So the message you sent earlier is simply not true. So we can restart a
nice conversation :-D

@Lugusto thanks for sharing your experience.
I probably said the wrong "color", in this discussion: green.

That is not necesseraly what I really want (of course I thought about
validation at the beginning of the thread).
What I really really want is
* a simpler life for our readers
* a way to harness/tap/exploit the simple fact that a lot of users DO read
our books, but never correct anything.

What I really want is a very very quick way, for a user, to correct a typo
WHEN she sees it.

Maybe we could do a BIG YELLOW BUTTON (meaning 75%), or maybe we can simply
find *another* way for a user to signal the simple fact that we correct a
typo or similar.
My fear is that Wikisource is way to complicated, and a lot of people read
our texts, and they could help us but we are too complicated to let them.
Can we try to solve this?

Aubrey
