Thread:Talk:Article feedback/Suggestion: do not ask feedback from any of article/reply

I'm not sure I see the problem here. Sure, an author can rate his own article. . . once. I'm not sure I see that as being a problem overall. Further, it's actually more of a problem (ethically) if we disallow that, I would think.

This is a significantly low-risk level of gaming, I think, with a low level of value for the resources required to police voting (which is what I presume what you're asking for: that no one with an edit in the article be allowed to rate it).
