[Wikiquality-l] Wikipedia colored according to trust

[John Erling Blad]

I did some checks on a few articles where very highly reputed authors
doing checks on articles, and it seems like the system isn't able to
detect very rare edits from such editors as it should. In fact it has
marked the _correct_ versions as dubious while later versions with
slight corrections from admins that are completely unfamiliar with the
matter are marked as high quality.

Not much trustworty (oh shit, is that me??)

Lots of copyedits

A thrustworthy version (!)
http://wiki-trust.cse.ucsc.edu/index.php/Stave_church

This is a very central problem to this kind of trust metrics, people are
rated according to what they do at some point in time, without taking
into account who they relates to and what is they previous history in
other contexts. In the history of the Stave Church article, there is an
archaeologist anyone able to locate the person? I think it should be
possible to identify a person as an expert within a limited field of
expertise, but it isn't easy to figure out how this should be done.

There is also the problem of the persons history. If someone edits and
increases its own rating, how should that be handled? I think this
should have implications on previous edits.
