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?
