This is a javascript gadget for visualizing article quality in the English Wikipdia. We built this gadget for the San Francisco Mediawiki Hackathon in 2012.
To use on the English Wikipedia, copy the contents of gadget.js into your common.js, and copy the contents of style.css into your common.css. For more detailed instructions on installing userscripts, see here.
We used a number of metrics aggregated into four areas of quality: richness, structure, integratedness, community, citations, and significance. Each metric can be individually weighted, although they have not all been incorporated into the ranking formula.
