[Wikipedia-l] continued growth rate and quality

[Lars Aronsson]

Wikipedia now has more than 50,000 pages (28,000 articles), and the
1,000 most recent changes were made in the last 5 days.

But is there any way to judge/measure/monitor the quality of the
contribution as volume grows?  Are new articles still written on new
topics of general interest, or do more and more cover obscure topics?
Do more duplicates appear?  Is there any way to tell from statistics?

I guess the number of different authors that a new article attracts in
its first three months could be an interesting statistical measure.
