Other things to do

Wikipedia has hundreds of millions of readers, but only a tiny percentage of them edit. Article feedback is a way of engaging readers and letting them make productive contributions on the fly.

In "Dealing with bad feedback", you may have seen a reference to "monitors" (rollbackers, administrators or reviewers) having access to additional tools, such as a "Hide" button.

If you're interested in helping out more and gaining access to these monitor tools, the easiest way to do it is request reviewer status. Generally-speaking, administrators will look for a track record of good edits and an ability to identify vandalism before granting this right.

To learn more about article feedback, check out this video tour, which gives a quick demo of the tool in action. You can also get more detailed information on our help page.

In coming weeks we'll be holding a series of IRC sessions to teach people how to use these tools and answer any questions you might have. These will be in the "#wikimedia-office connect" channel; times and dates can be found here.

If you are unable to make one of these sessions or have more immediate questions, we're always happy to hear them :). Just drop a note on the feedback talkpage or contact our community liaison directly.
