Re: [WikiEN-l] Fixed our client’s Wikipedia page.
Win-win, and community consensus can decide the reliance to place on their newly written source v. other sources that existed.

And, with the organized ones, a brilliant, insidious - and very effective - form of social engineering. It's misguided to pursue ideological purity of any kind religious or otherwise. Real sanity lies in embracing what we find useful in all kinds of approaches, without having to swear unwavering allegiance to any of them.

[WikiEN-l] Rating the English wikipedia
This encyclopedia has been rated as C-Class on the project's quality scale. This encyclopedia has been checked against the following criteria for B-Class status: 1. Referencing and citation: criterion not met (many common articles are not adequately referenced) 2. Coverage and accuracy: criterion not met (currently 3.5 million of an estimated 4.4 million articles) 3. Structure: criterion met (seems to be reasonably well structured) 4. Grammar and style: criterion met (mostly good enough, but would not please a purist) 5. Supporting materials: criterion met (multiple wikis surround and support it) I therefore award the Wikipedia class C: The Wikipedia is substantial, but is still missing important content or contains a lot of irrelevant material. The Wikipedia should have references to reliable sources, but may still have significant issues or require substantial cleanup. The Wikipedia is better developed in style, structure and quality than Start-Class, but fails one or more of the criteria for B-Class. It may have some gaps or missing elements; need editing for clarity, balance or flow; or contain policy violations such as bias or original research. Useful to a casual reader, but would not overall provide a complete picture for even a moderately detailed study. Considerable editing is needed to close gaps in content and address cleanup issues. -- -Ian Woollard ___ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
