Not sure about that specific change, but one illustration might be the Article Feedback Tool, which contains a "you know you can edit, right?" thing. Off the top of my head I think 17.4 percent of the 30-40,000 people who use it per day attempt to edit as a result of that inducement. Admittedly only 2 percent of them *succeed*, but it's not a lack of motivation, methinks.
What's the definition of "succeed" there - they save an edit with a change?
Is that 2% of the 17.4%, or 2% of those giving feedback?
I wonder if there's a way to detect a failure to edit and ask what went wrong.
