Not for me, although edit count’s gone from ~-5000 to ~+500

It's working for most others, though there're some journal articles still not accessing. This can probably be closed

Alexanderkowal added a comment to T376816: Oxford Research Encyclopedias service issue.

I have the same issue on my laptop, where I'm logged into the Wikipedia Library but some encyclopedia articles are locked. This has been the case for at least a few months. See https://oxfordre-com.wikipedialibrary.idm.oclc.org/africanhistory/display/10.1093/acrefore/9780190277734.001.0001/acrefore-9780190277734-e-69?rskey=9WyBYZ&result=1 and https://oxfordre-com.wikipedialibrary.idm.oclc.org/asianhistory/display/10.1093/acrefore/9780190277727.001.0001/acrefore-9780190277727-e-274?rskey=APXevk&result=1. It's frustrating because they look like really useful sources.

So was flagged revs giving some users rights to mass revert back to a previous rev? I still don't think I get it lol. Apparently the German wikipedia uses proposed edits unilaterally for new editors, so you might be able to copy that and put it behind a checkbox? The edit history shenanigans may be more technically complex

Hi, one of the things that inflame edit wars is the binary between published and unpublished. If someone makes an edit that they feel corrects a grave injustice and it is published, they have achieved their goal. If someone reverts that and makes it unpublished, they would receive it as regression and likely respond angrily. Encouraging the use of proposed edits for controversial edits means that that editor has to work with the reverter in order to achieve their goal of getting the edit published, and the process is one constant progression.
