Hello,

This whole thread is interesting. You can work side by side with someone for
several years and not know that the Wikipedia next door delete talk pages
where the question is resolved.

Anyway, I published an essay about raising quality on the Swedish Wikipedia
a couple of years ago, which may have some bearing on this issue. It was
written in Swedish but since most of you don't speak Swedish, it was
translated into English here:

Another essay, this time about users, can be read here (Google translated
only so far):

Best wishes,

Lennart
