Remember my proposal a month or two ago for a big friendly "Report a problem" button that appears to anon readers of articles? That would then divide up into wizards for different categories of problems like copy vios or libel or whatever? Is that a good starting point?

But we already have that! Click "Contact us" in the left sidebar, and there you have a wizard-like interface. If you click "Report a problem", you get to a page which has options like "An article has used copyrighted content without permission" and "There's a problem in an article about you or someone you represent". If I'd never seen wikipedia before and found a problem with an article about me, "Contact us" would be the first thing I click.
Granted, most of them leads to the otrs queue, but that's a separate problem. When it comes to directing users to places with help, I think we've made it as easy as it could be, short of posting a banner saying "DOES THIS ARTICLE CONTAIN LIBEL ABOUT YOU?" at the top of every article.
