This is really interesting Howie, thanks. I'm particularly fascinated to see the couple of trends emerging that you identified (although the sample size - quantitatively and chronologically is small). That we tend to be our own worst critics consistently rating our articles lower than non-logged-in users seems logical - we hold our work to a high standard. Also, that Wikimedians seem to have a greater consensus about what constitutes "good" according to four metrics. Your "to do" section seems pretty busy too, good luck with that! Especially to compare these ratings with the existing quality metrics of FA/GA/B/C/Start...
I wonder whether you have any plans to produce graphical representations of an article's rating over time? This would let us see not only how an article is rated *now* but how that rating has changed. -Liam wittylama.com/blog Peace, love & metadata On 29 September 2010 23:50, Howie Fung <[email protected]> wrote: > Everyone, > > As some of you may know, we launched an experimental Article Feedback > feature as part of the Public Policy Initiative last week.
