One of the significant complaints about Wikipedia is that there is no reliable way to assess the quality of an individual entry. A new research shows that the length of the article is a very good indicator of quality. Entries longer than 1,830 (or about 2,000) words, i.e. the length of a decent essay, are usually fairly good quality.

A first draft of a new research ethics resource is now available on the TLRP site. http://www.tlrp.org/capacity/rm/wt/bridges . It's still a work in progress. Comments welcome.
