[Foundation-l] [EWW] Edit Wikipedia Week

[Debbie Garside]

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
