Thread:Talk:Article feedback/Irrelevant/reply (27)

AFT is collecting casual readers' personal opinions... No, it's collecting abusive fake / fan / hate votes by logged out spammers and people who misunderrstand the tool. Nothing else. Trends of these over time may be interesting but do not add any value to WP content.

...and trying to turn some of them into brand-new editors. Trying to turn abusers into editors is a nice goal but pure waste of time.

Most casual readers are totally uninformed about what makes a decent encyclopedia article So let them rate the quality of encyclopedia articles with criteria they are "totally uninformed about"!

If you read an entire article, and you think it's pretty good, and then you see that it's been rated low, are you so stupid and intellectually insecure as to chuck your whole opinion out the window and adopt the view on the page? No, I would think the rating is bad or was abused by questionable people. I maybe would wonder why the responsible people do not improve the rating tool to avoid such. All of which, err, is the main point of this epic feedback page. Maybe read the page again and you maybe understand what we're talking about all the time.

...are you so stupid and intellectually insecure... I've read such personal attacks so often by you now, I wonder if YOU are. Are you working for WMF? I hope not.
