It would be useful to collect and report statistics about vandalism and edit wars. I have 16,000 articles on my watchlist (too many, I know!) and vandals touch maybe five of those per day, with most of the edits occurring on topics familiar to the general public (Julius Caesar, Steve Jobs, RMS Titanic, etc). If you can tell ichthyologists that the fish area of WP is 99.99% troublefree, that's a powerful argument to move data from their own websites, which likely don't even have 99% uptimes, and no army of copyeditors fixing typos.
