Most of the enforced standards on en.wn --- for purposes of review time, which *is* the primary limiting factor in our output --- are about not plagiarizing, and about being accurate.  (It's striking how many people, even college students, have no clue how to use a source without plagiarizing from it.)  *Obviously* we want to find ways to leverage reviewers' time better so as to improve our efficiency at such things (I'd like to think it's obvious, anyway; focusing on stuff like that would be productive), but whatever it takes to enforce those things is part of being a news site.  There are other really important things that make contributing a challenge, but they aren't dominant in limiting our output and are also part of being news site or of being a quality news site (and they too are valuable skills for authors to acquire) --- focusing on a news event (which makes us hard news and is closely related to npov), inverted pyramid style, writing clearly and for an international audience.
