There seems to be a trend lately of people writing to me personally to complain about articles.

I'm half joking here, but possibly we should have a link "Complain about this article". But when people click on it, we say "Hey, don't complain, get involved! Go back and click 'edit this page'. But first, please read _this_, _that_, and _the other_ to understand what's going on around here."

Well your email is listed as the main contact on the donation page, so that may explain why (as soon as we have a Wikimedia-l mailing list I'll switch your email address with that). What is needed is for us to replace 'Bug reports' in the sidebar with 'Contact us'. Then we can have a direct link to the mailing list (and also some text telling people to use 'discuss this page' to comment on articles). Of course a list admin will have to approve the email for listing, but once that is done then anybody can answer the post.

That is how we do things at Wikibooks anyway.

Oh, and if this is implemented then I volunteer to help with enwiki-l list admin tasks.
