      Replace readability score with feedback tool (like wikipedia)

      VW much needs a feedback tool for readability, trust, objectiveness and readability.

      Please see how wikipedia does it. It is excellent and VW needs this too:
      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikiped..._Feedback_Tool
      http://blog.wikimedia.org/2011/07/15...ish-wikipedia/

      Please add a setting so that we can allow guests to rate the article.

      When a considerable amount of text is edited, then old ratings should be deprecated.

      Readability score is a useful metric in its own right, is based on a well-respected mathematical formula that the military developed, and will not be replaced with something else. (If you end up with a block that you like better, you can always disable it).

      There are benefits to both types - the readability score (and others we have planned) is generated automatically using tried and tested formulas, and does not require additional user interaction. A feedback tool can be more organic and potentially more relevant to a given community; however, it requires a great deal of user interaction directly with the tool before the statistics become useful on a broader scale.

      What you describe is also a useful tool that could be added to our list of blocks. I am just thinking in terms of implementation now... it is likely more suited to use the ratings system or polling system, as that kind of block, rather than a necessarily dedicated block.

      I have no clue what the readability block does, so my members will have even less of a clue. The block states 'about this page'. Yet, I am afraid that I can not deduce any information about this page from looking at this block.
      As it currently is, it has no use for the average reader and likely not for the power user either.
      I think this should be disabled by default as it makes VW look complicated.
