User blog:Run4urLife!/Giving Feedback

Dudes. Goes without saying that when you see a problem with something you want to say something about it. I get it.

But if you're going to critique something, actually critique it. Other peoples' article talk pages are not a place to vent subconscious frustration, wave our arms, draw our swords, fly our banners or (if all else fails) to stamp our feet and hold our breath until something is changed. It's for discussion.

The whole point of giving feedback is to give guidance, not to sucker-punch other members. It's for presenting solutions for problems. It's for saying why something is wrong with something, not just that it's wrong. Telling someone that something is broken and then leaving them to fix it is like saying "that isn't meant to go in there buddy" and then walking away when you see a kid about to put a fork in a wall socket.
