Lead Author status is given to someone who starts a truly excellent article, or who significantly expands a previously incomplete article, making it into an excellent, usable, and complete article. Contributing Authors are those who write or significantly rework the content. Topic Editors are those who review an entry and decide if it is ready to be published, arbitrate disputes, and help set overall editorial policy.
