Should the Quality Standards Summary give a lowered mark for hints that have not yet been resolved?
John Taylor, Esquire LCRJ-DNH and Quality Summary
You can see that he has 8 hints, but there is nothing on the Quality Summary to indicate that or to mark it down because of hints that have not yet be resolved.
I would also think that someone with a possible duplicate should have some sort of marking on the Quality Summary.
Also Mary ( Polly) Freeland LZZH-3B4 and Quality Summary
Note that her name is listed with error because of the parentheses. But that does not show up on the Quality Summary.

@AnneLoForteWillson Thank you for your feedback. Although John Taylor is currently outside the project scope. Your observations are valid.
Mary however is within the current project scope, and needs another look.

Please, no. Or if I may be allowed to politely say, emphatically, NO!
There is already pressure on people to address hints by the presence of the blue squares. Some people seem a bit obsessed in getting rid of all research hints. Some may be inclined to either dismiss or attach hints they can't decide on just to get rid of the hint. Doubling the pressure to get rid of all hints by having those standing hints degrade the quality score could reinforce removing them at all costs. I think it would be far better to encourage people to just let hints stand if they can't determine if a hint is accurate or not and convince them that it is perfectly fine to let a few hints to remain there for a few years or decades until sufficient research is done to come to an accurate decision regarding the hint.

I agree with Gordon. In addition to the points he mentioned, sometimes the hints actually aren't for the person whose page they appear on. When users attach them anyway, it confuses the hinting algorithms—the algorithms, of course, treat the incorrect source as correct, so they dish up more hints like the incorrect one. The problems snowball.
And new users especially will add people from the source linker screen. If the source is wrong, then of course the people they add while attaching the source don't really belong in the family.I see the quality score as an evaluation of existing information, whereas the hints are opportunities. To me, they're two different things.
