Wikipedia:WikiProject on Adminship/Algorithm

An algorithm approach would be one that roughly fills the following proposal nicked from Jimbo Wales' statement of Wikipedia principles:"For example: rather than trust humans to correctly identify 'regulars', we must use a simple, transparent, and open algorithm, so that people are automatically given full privileges once they have been around the community for a very short period of time. The process should be virtually invisible for newcomers, so that they do not have to do anything to start contributing to the community."
