Don't feel guilty, because this isn't targeted at anyone in particular. People have been doing this since we first implemented the article feedback feature, and I don't know if I have ever seen anyone address this in all those months (years?).

Just because a person "found what they are looking for" does not mean that any suggestions they give should be ignored. Just as when they don't find what they want, when you review positive feedback you should distinguish between whether any action is needed or possible.

Thank you all! You are the true most valuable mvps!

Has anyone actually used the feature properly?, I mean it's always "Add a photo" (if the sets not out) or "Add a description" (And as if) :P

True, and I've noticed a few people in the past flag stuff as "inappropriate". Inappropriate is only for abuse, not comments like "I like this set" which aren't what the article feedback tool is intended for but still comments made in good faith.

@not being able to publish new blogs (you probably already know this, just making sure)- have you tried creating one without {{comments}}? You should be able to, and then edit it and add comments back in after. It's the workaround I've been using for news reports :S

There have been and still are some long-standing PHP fatals (which show up as a white screen of death to the users), usually related to the Comments extension which we haven't been able to fix.
This time around, it seems that the error was caused by the PageInCat extension:

2016/04/07 03:24:59 [error] 2289#2289: *14213286 FastCGI sent in stderr: "PHP message: PHP Fatal error:  Call to a member function getIsPreview() on a non-object in /var/www/core/extensions/PageInCat/PageInCat_body.php on line 280" while reading response header from upstream, client: <IP removed>, server: *.brickimedia.org, request: "GET /api.php?action=commentlist&format=json&pageID=73220&order=0&pagerPage=1&_=1460013864874 HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/tmp/php5-fpm.sock:", host: "en.brickimedia.org", referrer: "http://en.brickimedia.org/wiki/User:Berrybrick/SERVE_YOUR_WIKI"

Usually the fatal in question is this:

2016/04/06 21:47:36 [error] 2288#2288: *14088250 FastCGI sent in stderr: "PHP message: PHP Fatal error:  Call to a member function getPrefixedDBkey() on a non-object in /var/www/core/extensions/Comments/CommentClass.php on line 514" while reading response header from upstream, client: <IP removed>, server: *.brickimedia.org, request: "POST /index.php?title=User_blog:Berrybrick/A_quick_note_on_article_feedback&action=submit HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/tmp/php5-fpm.sock:", host: "en.brickimedia.org", referrer: "http://en.brickimedia.org/wiki/User%20blog:Berrybrick/A%20quick%20note%20on%20article%20feedback?action=edit&preload=MediaWiki:Createplate-Blog&summary=New%20blog%20created."
