WIP for review: image —Preceding signed comment added by Nicky Nouse (talk • contribs • wikia) 07:42, 26 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am sorry, but everything sems too squished. ~~ Hi878 ^{(Come shout at me!)} 21:01, 26 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Working from Nicky's original SVG (which rendered quite nicely once I brought it into Inkscape), I was able to touch it up a bit and crop the image. I've updated the SVG file and also uploaded a fully-rendered PNG. New image for review. Bob the Wikipedian ^{(talk • contribs)} 00:35, 31 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes! Fantastic! ~~ Hi878 ^{(Come shout at me!)} 05:47, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This one started looking funky, as well... Was Ireally that blind the first time I looked at it? ~~ Hi878 ^{(Come shout at me!)} 05:55, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Are you looking at the right version? The SVG isn't for review, only the PNG matters during review. The SVG won't render properly for review purposes. Bob the Wikipedian ^{(talk • contribs)} 20:56, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I corrected the right margin of the text ability. See the latest version at the same link. Bob the Wikipedian ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:12, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oops! I clicked Nicky's lnik, not yours. :P ~~ Hi878 ^{(Come shout at me!)} 01:21, 6 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from the card's original proposal

Quote suggestions

It may be just a tad long, but what about:

It is a truth universally acknowledged that intelligent and otherwise sensible editors and administrators occasionally engage in acts of extreme stupidity.

—Wikipedia:village_stocks

Is there a guideline as to how long quotes can be yet? Bananaclasic (talk) 21:51, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you can't say it in one breath out loud comfortably, it might be too long. The quote should, in general, be approximately 20 gross words (4-letter words) or less. This takes up about 3 lines on the card. The quotee takes up a fourth line. The quote listed above takes up 6 lines alone, plus a seventh for the quotee, so it might be pushing it. The special text takes up three lines. In all, this leaves a very small strip of space for the image. We'd better find a shorter quote.

I would agree with Bob, after thinking about it. ~~ Hi878 ^{(Come shout at me!)} 04:04, 24 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

How about "Even the most sensible administrators engage in acts of extreme stupidity." —Preceding signed comment added by Nicky Nouse ([[User talk:Nicky

I would rather not modify the quote, because then it is no longer a quote. ~~ Hi878 ^{(Come shout at me!)} 06:53, 25 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is from the paragraph below: "The village stocks have been built to identify the wiki-idiots in our midst." —Preceding signed comment added by Nicky Nouse (talk • contribs) 22:31, 25 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That seems good. ~~ Hi878 ^{(Come shout at me!)} 23:28, 25 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. :) Bob the Wikipedian ^{(talk • contribs)} 01:34, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

I was going to nominate a VS one... Oh well. :) ~~ Hi878 ^{(Come shout at me!)} 00:14, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to hear your idea, anyway. Fire at will... Bob the Wikipedian ^{(talk • contribs)} 02:34, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I had the same idea. :) ~~ Hi878 ^{(Come shout at me!)} 20:18, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Great minds... Bob the Wikipedian ^{(talk • contribs)} 02:10, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
