In general, I think the byte total is too simplistic a rubric. Can we add that "improving existing portions of the article can count towards this. Completely rewriting articles can qualify as well."?

I take a quality over quantity kind of view, and one can do wonders on Wikipedia even by reducing byte counts, so I think it's an unfortunate rubric to use the byte count. I also think it encourages writing expansively.

I think it would be AWESOME if they could work on improving articles that would be reading assignments for your class next year. I also think it would be awesome if they could work on improving the quality of an article that might already be long, but out of date and horribly sourced. I think what matters most is a "before" and "after" look at the article. Biosthmors (talk) 13:48, 12 September 2013 (UTC)

There are citations in here from 2012 that have doi's and are in open journals like PLOS ONE but aren't linked so we should add that as a style point. It aids readers who want to verify the information. Biosthmors (talk) 15:56, 12 September 2013 (UTC)
