Are there any documented general concepts, principles and requirements for
assessment and benchmarking articles within Wikipedia or veropedia? Has a
usability/reliability/readability model been developed? If so, can someone
point me to a link?
As a standardizer, I would be interested to see the model for the "veropedia
test".
Best regards
Debbie

Brian: before you continue talking, and noting that I still
don't see you in #veropedia
Veropedia gets it's articles by parsing a Wikipedia article,
generating a list of improvements (404s, disambigs, malformed
templates, bad templates, readability indices etc.) and then
the veropedian IMPROVES THE WIKIPEDIA ARTICLE until it passes
the veropedia test, at which point it is uploaded.
There is no folding stuff back into WP. Waking up on the
wrong side of the bed is no excuse for making a contentious
statement on a topic you apparently know nothing about.
Sorry, I tried to be nice about it in the last email, but
your response is plain childish.

Open content: "Use our stuff. Please! (And
give back your version
too.)"
As the most succinct response on this I'll respond on this one.
I get the message, the foundation can't do everything and
the license
allows
- nay - encourages projects like this. Good luck working out the
mechanics of the process of folding stuff back in to WP.
Oh, and judging from some of the other posts today I'm not the only
one that didn't actually fall out of the wrong side of bed but was
forcibly evicted before adequate sleep time had been acquired.
