Supporters of "Give the author a chance" include: AyeSpy, Tim Shell, JerryMuelver, tbc

Opponents include: clasqm (This rule assumes that all authors periodically check everything they have written so far. Too much of an assumption), AxelBoldt (either rewrite, or start discussion on talk page), 24 (once you've touched it, basically, you own it; talk increases the chance that someone will respond), Damian Yerrick (Give the author a chance? What is this, E2?), Robert Merkel (in general, see the debate for more details). JHK
