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, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_United_States_Public_Poli... .
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.
