Announcement BYC Learning Center Rating Project

[N F C]

A friendly little check-in to see how peeps are getting along with this fun project?

I'm still working on it!

A reminder: The main goal of this project is to get enough reviews of the LC articles that we can confidently and eventually change the default sort-order from descending by “views” to “rating” for most of the categories. That would hopefully keep the "best" articles to the front-and-center.

For example, here is the "Getting Started Raising Chickens" section...

Sorted by views: https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...ng-started-raising-chickens.21/?order=popular

Sorted by rating: https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...ed-raising-chickens.21/?order=rating_weighted

Thoughts?

There is always more views than reviews. I wonder if there is a way to prompt people to leave a review if the read the article and find it useful? Could there be a way to put a small pop up at the bottom of the screen asking this? Also does it record views from people viewing it from an outside source as in being directed here from a google search?

This isn't really a problem as long as the ratings/reviews are relative #'s to one another.

Interesting idea, we'll look into this.

Yup, all views are counted.

Its a wonder when I look at some articles that there could be as many as 15-20 comments, yet not one review!

Reviews are still fairly new.
There didn't used to be an option to review.

I don't think it includes 'Member pages' articles.

I have rated over 1000 articles counting coops and member pages. Over 750 on the learning center. They must be more in the learning center to rate but the list is blank for me now
