There does not seem to be a clear way of assessing this. I come to Wikipedia by way of writing for biographical dictionaries, working for a publisher of academic books, as well as researching and writing academic articles and books my field of the history of technology. I therefore automatically apply those standards to my contributions to Wikipedia. I can also apply those standards to pages which might need tweaking. When more editors with my kind of background can be persuaded to contribute on a regular basis then encyclopaedic standards will spread.
