Could you please elaborate on how "article
quality" was assessed, or
rather measured here? What does it mean to say that "article quality was
improved by 60%"?
The assessment of quality was based on the metric developed for the
Public Policy Initiative,

Thanks, Alex, I did not know about that page. Interesting approach,
based on the principles of Wikipedia. The most controversial point is
clearly "comprehensiveness" because you have to be an expert in your
field in order to assess this, and there will be a number of opinions in
most cases on what "comprehensiveness" will mean.
