Article Feedback Tool
The Article Feedback Tool is a tool designed by the Wikimedia Foundation to provide Article Feedback. It was initially deployed in 2010, and now features at the bottom of each article, asking readers to "rate this page" from 1 to 5 using four different metrics - trustworthiness, objectivity, completeness and writing quality. This was designed to do two things; firstly, aimed at giving us an objective measure of article quality. The four categories are largely seen by readers, not editors, providing a new perspective to the good (or bad) qualities of any reviewed article. Secondly, it was intended to provide a way for new users to get involved in the community - after filling out the various categories, they are presented with a form asking "Did you know that you can edit this page?" and inviting them to do so.
