This submission has been designated as a lightning talk at WikiConference North America 2019.
Title:
- Quality vs Usefulness: Can we have more FAs on vital topics?
Theme:
- Reliability of Information
+ Other
Type of session:
- Lightning Talk
Abstract:
Is there a trend that numerous high-quality articles are written about very specialized topics (e.g. a specific battle or historical biography), while general articles that are useful to a wide audience (e.g. "vital" articles) does not get as much quality? A quick look based on comparing FA/GA status and view count statistics indicates some evidence for this, at least for recent years.
