Ensuring high quality sources where needed, especially science/academic topics (narrow focus)

Not sure, but this data might give us some guidance:

  1. Most articles have a few editors
  2. A few articles have the most editors
  3. Most articles are redirects
  4. Ignoring redirects, the median length of an article is 1500 bytes. (e.g.: this or this)

Seems like we have two problems:

  • How do we improve the quality of the majority of articles that are 1500 bytes *or less*?
  • How do we improve the quality of the few "hyperactive" and controversial articles?
