I don't see this as a way to improve the article,
only a way to
allow casual readers to make comments.
THANK YOU for the clarification!

No that was someone's idea, but not mine.
I like having the "Make a Comment" button at the bottom of each
article, as this would mimic what readers are used to seeing at other
sites.
I don't that this would create a seperate section on the Talk page
however, as I think this would clutter the Talk page with a lot of
casual comments.
When you read the comments on say a YouTube video, you get a lot of
one-liners and people talking back and forth and so on.

It seems like just that possibly more-friendly approach might bring
people into the project as editors as well.
I'm not sure it would, it's a trial balloon.

I suppose there would need to be a guideline
started to decide what
sorts of things are OK for comments.
I thought we were talking about how to make the talk page more
accessible...

Yeah, but see, the thing is, you don't
"own" the blog. The person
writing it does (well, technically, the blog hosting service does).
They have the right to not have a comment show up. We could use the
same argument on Wikipedia.>>

What? That Wikipedia puts a "comment on this article" and someone
says "I
love this person" and "we" or at least someone decides that fan mail
is not
something we want ?
