Article feedback/Survey

We have been using the Survey Call to action to monitor the community perception of the Article Feedback Tool across different phases of its development.

Reasons to rate an article
Among users who took the survey, more than a half said they rated an article to "positively affect the development of the page". The following is the breakdown of reasons why users rated an article (data collected via AFT v.4 between 2011-05-13 and 2011-07-11)



Usefulness of article ratings
More than 90% of users (either registered or anonymous) found the ratings useful.



Comments
The following are selected comments about the AFT:


 * The option to rate a page should be available on every page, all the time, once per page per user per day.


 * It's good that Wikipedia is doing this! I just hope that this leads to less articles that are good and useful from being deleted.


 * Ratings seem like an interesting idea, I feel like the metrics used to determine the overall value of the page are viable, and I'll be interested to see how the feature fares when it's rolled out and has  some miles under its belt.


 * Seems like a good system to find pages that are completely incorrect/biased!
