Let's set a palatable objective

@ KrebMarkt: The aim is that we set a baseline for quality and aim for 100% of articles to hit it fast. There's a number of threads on this, and covering "low hanging fruit" and how people assess quality. Quick summary: People are much more likely to assess Wikipedia by its failures (even if few) than by its successes (GA/FAs).

@ Randomran:

"I think this could be a model for measuring baseline quality. You have one independent editor read the article, and check it against some basic standard before signing off on in.... For example, I would be comfortable with signing off on a short article with only partial research so long as it were written in a basically neutral tone. It's a basic safety standard, rather than a seal of excellence."

Yes, that's roughly my idea for baseline too.
