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. AgneCheese/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)
