With score values, we would all have yet another very, very valuable tool for customizing Wikipedia. We could offer, hanging from the main page even, a "Settings" that allowed a single click for the following:

*Researcher's Wikipedia (Score 1.5 and lower)

*Community Wikipedia (Score 3.0 - 1.5)

*Handyman's Wikipedia (Score 3.1 - 6.0)

When you choose one of those, you "see" only the Wikipedia that fits with your selection. Not only would this help people tidy up articles that need it and signal them, for example, that the 12 screen magnus opus by [[User:Geogre]] they're looking at has, nevertheless, had a problem that they can help fix, but it would cut out many of the "It cannot be allowed to have the Autosodomy picture in an article, if public libraries are going to see it" arguments. Librarians and school kids and scholars looking to help the papers they're writing can choose the Researcher's Wikipedia and be ''more'' certain of solid content than they can now.

Don't ask me what programming would be necessary for that, because I don't know, but it's a powerful way to have 3 different Wikipedias in one.
