Hmm, something that strikes me looking at those results is that on several categories Wikipedia seems to do worse on the "easy" topics but better on the "hard" ones. I don't know if I'm just imagining it, and it could just be a coincidence, but that seems like an interesting finding (were there any graphs in the article? one could probably construct a graph that demonstrated patterns like that).
This is sadly true and I'm part of the problem since I love to write about specific topics concerning geology yet have never added much to core geology-related articles such as [[geology]] or [[mineralogy]]. This also seems to be true for articles about specific species (we have many well-developed ones) vs articles about core biology-related topics (not many well-developed ones).
