Hi Devender, I'm not a developer but I hope my feedback as editor is useful.

What do you mean with "3rd party editors"? > This ranking system will increase the content reliability Content reliability is indeed an interesting value for wiki content, especially in projects like Wikipedia. However, basing the reliability of the content on the quantity of edits done by an editor is risky --to say the least. Reliability is based on quantity, not quality. If you would find a way to assess the quality of the editions of an editor (and therefor the reliability of an editor)... Then maybe you could provide a hint about the reliability of an article based on the reliability of the editors that edited it. Even in that case it might be complex to figure out when the reliable editors are acting to add more quality to an already good article, or to fix the worst issues of a horrible article. When they add and when they revert... And of course it may also happen that editors not identified as reliable produce great content, as it often the case with editors very specialized in certain topic, with a short history of excellent edits. > 2.

Even if there is some probability that older paragraphs that have survived many edits intact are somewhat reliable, it is too easy to find examples disproving this point. This is true especially in the articles needing more a quality assessment, those that are not edited often and are not watched by many experienced editors. > Please let me if I should go with this idea.

Maybe someone else will ave a different, more positive opinion about your project, or advice to re-focus it. In general, students proposing new projects have more chances of success if they start pitching and testing their ideas months before the GSoC. Add a factor of x5 at least if your main target is a Wikimedia project. If you don't get mentors for your project very soon, then the safest option is to choose a project at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Summer_of_Code_2014 and go for it. Thank you for your interest in contributing to Wikimedia. Also thank you for following my suggestion to post at wikitech-l. I hope you wll get more feedback from other people in this list. -- Quim Gil Technical Contributor Coordinator @ Wikimedia Foundation http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Qgil
