Thread:Talk:Article feedback/Please stop/reply (58)

The article feedback tool is a cancer on Wikipedia. At this point it ought to be abundantly obvious that is not a good idea but, like with Flash welcome pages of the 90's web, it takes so long so some people to recognize the obvious. A) These things are ugly and detract from the aesthetics of an article. B) They are huge and especially distracting on smaller pages. C) It's clear even from a quick glance here that there's a strong percentage opposed to them, so why are they still around? D) The proponents are using arguments against the opponents and are failing to apply those same standards to themselves. That's annoying. E) I do not think that the information collected will be properly used and interpreted by editors. Interpreting surveys is hard and naive attempts are more likely to misinterpret the data, F) Small sample size will lead to incorrect conclusions being drawn and acted upon. To all those involved in its creation, swallow your pride and abandon this blight on Wikipedia. We appreciate your effort but the solution is worse than the problem.
