ok,
requesting a structure and creating a gap with a headline would make
people active and releflective and then cumulative - this was the
intent. so maybe it is technically to much work.
Creating a user judgement under each site is for me still a good thing.
BTW, we need 1-6 to let users choose, 1-5 means there is a
middle/indifferent position, that´s why methodical it is better to use
1-6 stars. ;-)
anyway, was just a suggestion, democratik means to let ever yuser give
feedback. the dicussion tab is often not the right method.
a vote click is better, imho.
Kind regards, for me closed.

Hi Closedshop,
Wikis are not like internet a search engines. A search on Google or
Yahoo! might give you thousands of pages with the same subject. Users
of wikis are unlikely to be faced with a choice of different pages
about the same subject so having a quality ranking won't really help.
A score for relevancy (as a percentage) is already given in the search
results which is more helpful than qualty.
With regards to translation of headings - isn't the heading the
easiest thing to translate? Having standardised heads pre-translated
across languages isn't really any help unless you translate the whole
article. If I visit a page in Japanese (which I can't read) and the
headings are translated in to English (which I can read) I still won't
understand the important part of the content. There may be some
exceptions to this (for example in technical wikis where all the data
is basically the same and only the headings are different) - but it
certainly won't help much in Wikipedia.
Sorry to be so negative - let me know if I've miss understood your ideas.
Paul
(BTW: ranking 1 to -6 isn't a ranking that many people would recognise
- the most widely used system is "5 stars". 1 to 5 stars - like hotels).

Hi
You missed me, if the threads drifts to a discussion about links or
link.
another try: what about a rating under reach site or keyword, the
user can click in a school note range of 1(exellent) -6 (bad) ,
if this article fits the needed quality of the user.
So an average count of all votings could be displayed.
Then we can see, which keyword in which language is best explained !!!
thanks for doing at least this technically. :-)
Microsoft and many others have this user survey, if the article was
good or bad.
Just for the statistics, just for the (democratic) quality evaluation.
No, you say "External link" when there's one, and "External
links" when
there are more. We shouldn't give the impression that we're innumerate.
"Personally I don't like articles that have an "External link"
section"
