This is really interesting Howie, thanks. <br>I&#39;m particularly fascinated to see the couple of trends emerging that you identified (although the sample size - quantitatively and chronologically is small). That we tend to be our own worst critics consistently rating our articles lower than non-logged-in users seems logical - we hold our work to a high standard. Also, that Wikimedians seem to have a greater consensus about what constitutes &quot;good&quot; according to four metrics. Your &quot;to do&quot; section seems pretty busy too, good luck with that! Especially to compare these ratings with the existing quality metrics of FA/GA/B/C/Start...<br>

<br>I wonder whether you have any plans to produce graphical representations of an article&#39;s rating over time? This would let us see not only how an article is rated *now* but how that rating has changed. <br><br>-Liam<br>

      As some of you may know, we launched an experimental Article
      Feedback feature as part of the Public Policy Initiative last
      week.  The &quot;Article Feedback Tool&quot; enables readers to quickly
      assessthe sourcing, completeness, neutrality, and readability of a
      Wikipedia article on a five-point scale.  It is currently deployed
      on about 300 articles [1] in the area of Public Policy on the
      English Wikipedia.  More details may be found on the blog post [2]
      as well as the post on Foundation-l [3].<br>
      <br>
      We&#39;ve been capturing the ratings data and have some early analysis
      to share around the types of ratings users are providing.  There
      are some interesting differences between anonymous and registered
      users:<br>

      <br>
      The dump of the article-level data is also available [4] for those
      who are interested.<br>
      <br>
      If anyone would like to be involved in the ongoing research and
      evaluation of this tool, please sign up on the Article Feedback
      Workgroup page. [5]<br>
