WIP for review: image —Preceding signed comment added by Nicky Nouse (talkcontribswikia) 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 (talkcontribs) 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 (talkcontribs) 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 (talkcontribs) 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.

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 (talkcontribs) 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 (talkcontribs) 01:34, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

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 (talkcontribs) 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 (talkcontribs) 02:10, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
