+# Media Matching
+
+Contributors can write [notes on media](../contributing/notes-on-media.md) (images and videos) that show on posts that contain matching media. 
+
+### Earning the ability to write notes on media
+Contributors can write notes on media if they have sufficient [Writing Impact](../contributing/writing-and-rating-impact.md):
+* Contributors with 2+ Writing Impact can write notes on media, and their notes get associated with other posts with matching media if there is sufficient agreement from raters that the note will be helpful on all posts with matching media
+* Contributors with 10+ Writing Impact can write notes on media, and their notes are automatically associated with other posts with matching media
+
+### Determining sufficient agreement to match a note to other posts
+To be shown to everyone on X, notes need to reach a status of Helpful. Additionally, media notes may need further agreement that the note will be helpful on all posts that contain matching media. This helps prevent cases where a note is specific to a given post, but ends up matching to many other irrelevant posts with the same media, simply because the note auther wrote it as a media note. 
+
+When rating a media note, contributors answer this additional question:
+
+![Media match rating question](../images/media-note-match-upgrade.png)
+
+Currently, sufficient agreement is defined as:
+* 10+ raters with positive rater factors and 10+ raters with negative rater factors agree the note will be helpful if shown on all posts with matching media
+* 80%+ of raters from each factor sign agree the note will be helpful if shown on all posts with matching media
+
+The rater factor used in the calculation is the factor from the [model that determined the note's status](./ranking-notes.md) (e.g. CoreModel, GroupModel01, etc)
+
+We expect to adjust this high initial threshold over time.
