I'd like to know exactly what the consensus is on "metacomments" within an article text - "More should be written here", "See WikiProject Foo for help with editing this page", "Is this correct?", and so on.
I'm of the opinion that things like this should almost always be in the Talk page. Having them in the article looks tacky and unprofessional. Only things that directly affect "customers" should be in the article, I'd say.
There's no specific consensus on such meta-comments (however, you'll have to ask the WikiProject folks about the "See WikiProject" ones).
In Wikipedia's early days, it was quite common to add such comments. It now seems to be frowned upon as more and more people use Wikipedia articles as references. I usually move them to the talk page.
