I seem to have found a way to automatically judge which revision of a
Wikipedia article has the best quality.
It's very simple: look at that article's edit history and find out, within
a specified time range (e.g. the past 6 months), which revision remained
unchallenged for the
With this idea, not only can Wikipedia provide two views for every article
