I saw somewhere concerns about people promoting their articles and also people have retaliatory negative votes. I see that the voting has the option to "Clear my older validation data" - setting this to "yes" and using "median" instead of "mean" average will help reduce the impact of self-promoters and others.
Yes, see [[m:Article validation possible problems]] ;-) Every time I mention this to someone they immediately come up with a possible problem. But many of them are *different* possible problems. So I'm asking people to list them there. Part of the test is to see just how many of them are actual problems, and to what degree.
I do think most of our editors will rate honestly and in good faith, though. That all ratings are visible and that there should be a note that they're visible "just like edits" should help in this.
