Article feedback?

Why is the "Article feedback" table a "technical dependency" for this metric? None of the cited work that explored survival made use of the article feedback table. --EpochFail (talk) 17:48, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

I do not remember the precise reason why I added it, but anyway the general idea is that we want to take into account any possible form of contribution when determining the survival indicator. So, not only revisions, but also (for example) MoodBar feedback and feedback responses, article feedback, etc. That said, since I do not know the precise structure of the article feedback model, the "article feedback" table might not even be the right dependency. :-)
By the way, doesn't UserDailyContrib provide exactly what we need? Or does it only count page revisions? Junkie.dolphin (talk) 11:43, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

"Rationale"

It seems that the rationale section includes the introduction (commonly the paragraphs before the first heading). In previous edits I re-wrote the introduction material and moved it to this space, but now I see that the "rationale" header has been returned. I'm wondering why this structure is preferable. I imagine that we'll eventually want to standardize the page structure. --EpochFail (talk) 20:45, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
