Can we make sure that any new generation Article Feedback tool is
properly
tested, and that testing includes:
1. Implementing it on a random group of articles and comparing them
with
a control sample to see which group of articles had the more edits
from
newbies;
2. Whether the collecting of feedback on ways to improve the article
generates additional comments or diverts some editors away from
actually
fixing the article.
3. Which group of articles recruited the most new editors to the
pedia.
Please don't implement it if the testing shows that it diverts people
from
fixing articles to pointing out things that
others can fix.
And I think this time showing it to the Research Committee prior to
running the tests would be a good idea.
