OTOH quantity has a quality all of its own. So far as I know, there's no good measure of how much text people have contributed that still remain in the article.
It would be a really good idea to measure how many unique strings of characters each editor has added to each article and in general. Presumably anything that still remains is of sufficient quality for whatever level the article is.

I still think we could do with more rewards and maybe this damned game has given me an answer.
More editor stats.
I think what is needed is some way to measure quality objectively. It may be that only quantity can be measured objectively, and that quality can only be measured subjectively. But I'd support something that moved the focus away from quantity towards quality.
