[Bug-gnupedia] Ratings

  I beleive that with whatever rating system used, we need to separate two
different ratings : 
1) 'article' rating - how well the article is written, how informative it
is, etc;
2) 'subject' rating - how accurate, or truthful it seems.  For non-exact
sciences it is hard to tell about truthfulness, as it was mentioned about
topics like nazis, eveolution, and many others, but some are more plausible
than others, and this rating should reflect is.

The point is to separate things such as sloppy article on, let's say, law of
gravity, from a well written article that claims things that the reviewer
does not agree to.

articles with bad 1st rating would wither be rewritten or tossed out, but
articles with a bad 2nd rating would show alternative viewpoints and would
be marked as such, and the reader would choose wether to view such articles
or not.
