What specifically were the effects?
A massive reduction in "things made up in school one day", and
consequently the speedy deletion queue. Or so it seems to me - I no
longer do newpage patrol though (appeared to be much less to do after
that change). But you know how it is, if there were a strong
community consensus in favour of going back I bet it would happen.
Didn't speedy deletion get implemented around the same time or even after
the change?
I guess my point is that Wikipedia is too complicated and big to draw firm
conclusions from any one's anecdotal experience, and attempts at rigorous
analysis should be encouraged.
