Ok, how do you quantify that? You gave a numerical value for the slog rate, what is the formula for calculating it? And what's the slog rank?
I'm using "rank" here to refer to a level of deterioration within an article, derived from a rating of particular diffs. What the scale is, what the terms are, and what the method for combining diff rankings is, is entirely fluid. I'm using "rate" here to refer to the degree to which deterioration overtakes improvement within a particular timeframe. Its not quite as useful, and probably can't be combined into some general sitewide evaluation.
If it is all entirely fluid then it simply isn't quantified, so what on earth does "8.5%" mean?
