Possible "major points and findings" (BROAD focus)
Fragment of a discussion from Talk:Task force/Wikipedia Quality
1) The easiest. Take a list of 50 internationally recognized scholars in different field, ask them to pick up two articles in their fields and give a mark 1 to 10 (1 = substandard or non-existent; 10 = excellent quality).
2) More difficult. Tag important specialized articles (may be ask projects to deliver a list) and look at the dynamics of their volume increase. I am sure most of them are small and not expanding.
