Thread:Talk:Article feedback/Please stop/reply (44)

Why not show the ratings on the article, with a "rate this article" link next to it instead of a box asking for a rating? That would save a huge amount of screen real estate, and it would be a lot easier to put into the existing interface.

Do you want to switch to this method after a certain period of time after an article has received enough ratings? Extremely popular articles might get lots of ratings, up to a point where its no longer useful to ask for them.

Is it possible to turn the AFT off for users that are not logged in?

I am not very optimistic about the value of the ratings in general but especially those of users who did not log in, I fear people will base their ratings on the subject of the article and not on the article itself (e.g. people who like Bieber a lot will rate his article high and people who hate him give 1 star).

The ratings given by anon users are not very useful because they use the rating system like a like/dislike button system and prefer to give 1 or 5 stars. Some anon users are able to give high quality and reliable ratings, but the masses do not.
