Perhaps the ratings system should only let readers remove a template, then send them a welcome message (to an IP#, no less) that transcludes the template of their expertise, and encourages them to follow the links in it, and by those actions encourage them to ensure that their rating is even more true. To know and enjoy what you are good at is three blessings, because two of them are the same.

If this is meant only for readers-who-don't-edit, then you will have to tell editors that, as there will be some editors that try and skew the feedback for a particular article.

Is there a page to discuss the configuration(s) of ReaderFeedback?
The intent is to set up http://readerfeedback.labs.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page with a bit more introductory text and then get the word out to start a conversation about the rating criteria we want to use for this, and indeed whether we want to use this at all. Because part of the point of this feature is to be able to compare perception of quality across languages, those criteria need to IMO be defined across at least all languages of a project.
I'll probably only get to this part of the setup post-Wikimania, but if you want to start setting up pages yourself, please don't hesitate.
I notice the test wiki has the categories "Usefulness", "Presentation", and "Neutrality", while the extension documentation uses four example categories, "Reliability", "Completeness", "NPOV", and "Presentation". I hope something more specific than "Usefulness" is what gets deployed on en-wiki.
I suggested "usefulness" for the initial setup, but as noted above, this is one of the things we need to figure out. I like usefulness or helpfulness because it reflects the direct perceived value that our readers are deriving from the information we provide. Yes, that value depends on what they were looking for to begin with, and one would hope that some of them would provide further comments. But, for example, it would be interesting to know if our articles about movies or books, or about historical subjects, or whatever other category, are organized in a manner that our readers consider helpful to find the stuff they're looking for. -- Erik Möller Deputy Director, Wikimedia Foundation
