Yes, go on to the realization of this project! All kidding aside, you have the basic gist of this idea. But instead of "If you are..., click _here_", it would present _John Kerry_ ( 16 authors, 236 signatures, score of 1027, weighted score of 4,829) _John Kerry_ ( 45 authors, 380 signatures, score of 2094, weighted score of 4,928) _John Kerry_ (108 authors, 1,388 signatures, score of 10,000, weighted score of 6,093) And here's the troll pit: _John Kerry_ ( 1 author, 1 signature, score of 1, weighted score of 1) _John Kerry_ ( 1 author, 1 signature, score of 1, weighted score of 1)
You know, this looks something like what I imagine the scores might be from [[m:Article validation feature]]. (Though we're talking in the MediaWiki 1.6 timeframe there, which may include doing things with the data.)
