Aging of Articles

Apart from regularly creating high quality content, wiki editors must constantly keep reviewing submitted articles. Faster reviews would always ensure more content creation. One metric to measure the rate of reviews is the ageing of the submitted articles and average time taken to respond after changes are done to a rejected article.
