I'm starting to think that one month isn't long enough considering the amount of moderators helping out and the amount of time we can all spend on MB (or ''want'' to spend on the one artist). Maybe two months is better? We could probably keep the 'of the Month' extension though, if an artist ''is'' cleaned up sufficiently in one month we can move on. --[[User:Mdhowe|Mdhowe]]
