• This analysis resonates with personal experience. So what can we do about it? It also brings back memories of the disastrous feedback experiments, which elicited large quantities of garbage, at least partly due to prompting useless feedback. Intelligent questions can be extremely helpful to understand the gaps in coverage, which is probably why FA scores so high, and GA next - the reviewer gets to provide feedback on comprehensibility for a person who is not usually a subject matter expert, and more eyes detect more bugs. There also seems to be less reader feedback on talk pages now than 5 or 10 years ago in the areas I work on. Is this a general tendency? Has it been measured? · · · Peter Southwood ^(talk): 18:37, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
