Thread:Talk:Article feedback/About rating system vs comments

As some people commented, I also think the rating system doesn't add much value to this tool -at least not as the only medium-. Couldn't be possible to add a textbox where the rating could be elaborated? maybe some comments (those with more than X character number, just an example) could appear in the Talk Channel -identified as 'reader comments' or something like that,- maybe filtered, collapsed by default or in its own index (to not change the basic nature of the Talk Channel) improving the visibility and relevancy of this user feedback.

I think Wikipedia could really get something from this active 'self-consciousness' exercise coming from its biggest userbase (readers). The thing is, maybe, to try to extract the most valuable data from this critical input. Just another 2 cents.
