Comments & Suggestions

I took the liberty of updating the newsletter to the 15th April one :-)

One suggestion, on the definition of stubkilling, I think you're being a bit harsh including all the crappy Low stubs that we really don't much care about. To me, I work on 'diagonals' of the table on the WP home page.

Thus the top priority was to convert all the Top Stubs to Top Starts.

Once that was done, the second priority becomes to convert Top Starts to Top B's and equally to convert High Stubs to High Starts.

The third priority is then Top B -> Top GA, High Start -> High B and Mid Stub -> Mid Start

And so on. That implies that the best measure of how we are doing, given that we are currently in the middle of the second stage, is

( (number of Top Starts) + (number of High Stubs) ) / (number of Tops + number of Highs)

Once we've squished all those High Stubs and Top Starts, then we start a new measure that includes Top B's, High Starts and Mid Stubs.

just an idea, anyhow - it's just a more visible measure of progress, and it takes more account of us progressing with the more important articles in the project FlagSteward 17:43, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

• Heh, math formulas were never my strong suit. :p But I can see the benefit in including the TOP/HIGH metric of stub killing success in the newsletter and will incorporate that into the next newsletter. Agne^Cheese/^Wine 23:27, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

• I really like this approach as the articles are improved in order of importance. ◄scharks► 09:36, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
