Well, thanks for clearing this up for me. I should have done a bit
more research before asking questions. It's a great initiative.

The editing happens right on Wikipedia. Before I
import it, before I freeze
it, I fix it on Wikipedia. Once it's pulled to Veropedia, it's a static copy
of some specific revision ID, at the time, the same page as the live page on
enwiki. Once it's imported, there's no more improvement (unless we pull a
*new* enwiki version, in which case the edits are already there). There's no
reason to feed content back to enwiki, as the content *came* from enwiki to
begin with and was never changed after that.

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.
If a Wikipedia article is handled like this and fixed up quickly, why
can't the improvements be fed back to Wikipedia instantly? Obviously,
if this process takes 2 weeks to complete, the original Wikipedia
article will have changed too much to paste the fixed-up version
over...
Veropedia is a great example of how free content can be reused and
improved by more specialised projects, but how much does Veropedia
feed content back to Wikipedia?
