the created since thing is probably the thing that would be most helpful there is a limit to how long you can spend looking for miscategorised or uncategorised articles ideally the subcategories of category people would be all you need so you could identify a reliable process that if the category structure is kept well maintained you or others could periodically run scans over the subcatgories for untagged articles the production of such lists and the tagging could be automated and all you'd really need is people to weed out the false positives glad to hear though that over articles are being added to the pile makes the unassessed articles at wp m e look like a cinch
