But the quality of that refined content is not very good. There's still huge amounts of work that need to be done. But trying to do that is sometimes like walking through molasses.

So yes, it does matter.

The problem is that the quality is better than most people's expertise on the subject. Back when there were no articles on some subjects, many could make a contribution because many knew more than nothing about the subject.

In any event, I don't see how that relates to editing on a 6" screen.

Wikipedia needs people to check citations and provide citations.

That's really freaking hard on a mobile phone.
