=== Goals of the study
# To build empathy and understanding around how page issues affect the perception of article quality and reliability among readers
# To build understanding of users’ level of familiarity with page issues and their perceptions around page issues of different severity levels
# To get feedback on the visual treatment of how we display page issues in articles, specifically: the inclusion/exclusion of semantic titles and timestamps, and additional confidence that the new treatment is more noticeable than the previous one
