I think you could increase the feedback rate on articles by changing “Suggest Change” from e-mail to the internal PM system. At least if you want suggestions from me. :)

Suggest Changes sends an email to the admins.
If ‘Suggest Changes’ sent a PM to the author of the entry, would you as an author feel responsible for researching the suggestion and editing your own entry?
I didn’t mean that the recipient should change, just that it changed from e-mail to PM.
@devadatta, I can assure you that when someone sends a suggestion through the existing link, we get the email, investigate the lead, and update the articles based on our findings. Personally, I would much rather these come in through email as they are instead of PMs. That way they can be easily filtered and filed.
