Announcement BYC Learning Center Rating Project

Hey Pees!

There are a ton of articles with less than 5 reviews... and a bunch with under 2 reviews!

If y'all are inclined, it would be great to have at least 3 reviews for each article, so let's pull-together and give some reviews and ratings, starting with the "0" review" items at the top of the list here:

I'll do some.

If any of you see article that should be threads will you reply to the article and let them know they are in the article section and suggest that they start a thread in the appropriate forum?

Here is an example of one I just did:

Our AMAZING community did such a brilliant job with our HUGE 2018 Coop Page Rating Project, that we thought we should take advantage of the momentum and startup a brand-new project!

We want all of our members (and you visitors lurking that haven't joined yet... yeah YOU!!!) to submit REVIEWS for the 500+ Articles in our Learning Center

Steps:

1. Visit THIS PAGE: https://www.backyardchickens.com/pages/lc/
2. Click one of the links
3. Read through the article
4. Click a "Star Rating"
5. Give the article a WRITTEN REVIEW (Feedback on what you liked, suggestions on how the article could be better, etc.)

You can give a star rating by itself, but for this project we REALLY want members to submit full text REVIEWS. You are welcome to submit reviews anonymously if you want.

Our hope is that this will help us "bubble up" the best articles, while giving feedback on articles that need some attention, correction, etc.

The goal is to have 5 reviews for each article!

Good luck team!!!

I rated a few more!

Are article being reviewed/approved at all before being published?

Our system doesn't support a full review-before-publish feature, but we do our best to review articles in the LC. When we (or members report) articles that shouldn't be in the LC, we take an even closer look and if they don't meet our standards, we move them to the "Members" section / category.

Oh, OK.
I was under the impression, as several members had posted, that there was now an approval process....maybe I mis-read, or they misunderstood.
