Thread:Talk:Article feedback/Please stop/reply (33)

I think the definition of what are "things that actually matter" is very subjective and during the Strategic Planning the community helped to determine what are those things. Since the assessment of article quality is among them, I don't think it is a waste of developers' time to put some effort in creating/developing a system which may help all Wikipedias to get that. Whether the tool will or not be able to improve things, and how the tool could be changed in order to achieve that, are questions which I believe are being considered by the researchers. But I don't think we can deduce the answers without having the data which is being collected during the research. It would be just a guessing game.

As for the "lack of consensus for implementing the feedback boxes", this is not generally true: some wikis reached consensus for implementing it.
