We're a top-50 website - having millions of random readers clicking a "Rate this article" tab and giving their perceptions is, to me, inherently interesting.
This is really interesting. How about something like, "Did you find what you were looking for?"
Wikipedia isn't a service, really, but maybe it wouldn't hurt to think of it as one. Right now, I think it's possbile that Wikipedia editors are more in touch with the issues that affect editors and totally out of touch with people who actually use the damn thing as a reference. All this debate about VfD/AfD or what is and isn't a speedy or whether [[WP:BEARD]] should be moved to BJAODN is probably not what your average Wikipedia reader is thinking about. More reader feedback might be a way to give us an idea of how good a job we are doing.
