Articles and Surveys - Something Other Than Projects and Studios

Section 1: Articles
Articles are something that you write about (e.g., what you added to a project, what to do if you're bored in scratch).
Articles have 3 tabs: description, pages, editors. If you scroll to the bottom of any tab, there will be comments.

Now, there is a title at the top, normally.
I don't see anything that creates a con for this, but I think this is a good idea because you can write about something you want. An example is below:
A Article

Let me tell you about my project at https://scratch-mit-edu.ezproxy.canberra.edu.au/projects/project_link
Section 2: Surveys
Surveys are something about what each person thought of.
Surveys have 4 tabs: graph, contributors, vote, and voters
In the graph tab, a graph will show the ammount of voters in each. You can change the type of graph. There is a option to disable everyone except you to not see it.
In the vote graph, you can add vote options. There is a custom option, where you can type anything.
In the voters graph, there is a list of voters that have voted. There is a option to disable everyone else except you to not see it.

Tell me what you think, any questions, and remember to be constructive!

Semi-support.
While these would be really useful (I always think that I just want to make a post on my profile that anyone can see, rather than making a whole project or inviting all of my followers to a studio), I think it would take away from the main purpose of Scratch, a coding website, not a blogging or polling website.

Semi-support support for this reason

An important thing to remember is a survey that helps decide what type of project people suggests.

Sorry, but that doesn’t make sense. Please could you fix your wording a bit?
Do you mean surveys help decide what type of project to make based on what people want?
Still, this would take away from the main premise of Scratch: coding, being creative and being yourself. It doesn’t matter whether you make projects that the majority want - make whatever projects you want! You’re bound do disappoint some people. Scratch isn’t about making projects that the majority wants, it’s about being creative and making what you want to make (of course if it is not inappropriate).
