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 don't like them, personally, and typically move them to talk pages. As far as I'm concerned, *all* articles on wikipedia are works in progress, so I expect all of them to need expansion in one way or another. I also think they're a bit jarring. I guess I'm not postmodernist enough. :-/

IMHO we could avoid most of these metacomments with the vote function back.
