Announcement BYC Learning Center Rating Project

This is one I have been working on:
https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...ng-graphic-pictures-under-construction.47704/

@SavKel&RynKel reviewed it and suggested maybe it should have something about prevention, so I will go research that and modify the article.

Those images were extreme! Not graphic or bad, just like shocking. Sav knows a lot about medical issues chickens can have, it's not an area I've researched by any means. But let me know if you find anything (or don't), I'd love to give you five stars!

Is there a google sheet for learning center articles?

Haha, I conpletely agree. So far I've got: if it says exactly what the title identifies, and answers all my general questions then 4 stars. If they go above and beyond with that they get the 5th. If they provide any less information than I thought was deserved or encourage anything I feel is incorrect/unsafe then they lose a star for either (bringing down to two stars for lacking and poor information). Have yet to vote one star yet, so I'm not sure the criteria there.

Also, this is the learning center. You aren't supposed to be a professional reading these and critiquing, that's why Nifty asked for five of us on each. When a new person reads and votes on what they've learned, and a knowledgable person critiques the tiniest details, the balance that comes out will reflect an overall value of the article.

Thanks - that's very helpful!

When you say you are working on it, are you being BYC support? Was that the original author.

I have see some of those with BYC support as the author and wondered if that meant someone took over for someone? Maybe it was something that happened in 2012 when the articles were revamped

BYC Support is the original author. K just added the under construction part of the title because she is cleaning it up.

I'm making edits as casportpony, not as BYC Support.

I fixed the first article. I will look into the others too.

Fixing these articles takes away from my rating totals. Some of them take a bit of time to fix!

One of the images moved over for this one but the rest are not here. The Author does not have a media folder--I sometimes find their images there. They were not in a thread or a post by the author either--another place I find the images.

I have started a conversation with the article to see if we can get the from her.
