Nice work Ral! - Ta bu shi da yu 13:42, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't the third sentence of Jimbo Wales' first answer read "Nor any..." rather than "Not any..."? 203.113.193.101 15:09, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What's "not acceptable" about the userboxes? Curious. — Stevie is the man! Talk | Work 20:17, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

article review system

[edit]

Theres a mention of a new article review system. Where is this being discussed? --Salix alba (talk) 00:17, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Last I heard, the rating system had already been coded, was being tested by the devs on one of the test wikis. Raul654 00:18, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's on some obscure off-wiki site whose URL I misplaced a while back. Personally, I wasn't impressed by it. Raul654 04:09, 24 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The coloring

[edit]

The blue and red text makes it hard to read. There's a reason all of the other text on Wikipedia is black on a light/white background. Why not just use semicolon and colon formatting to set up the questions and answers? --Cyde Weys 08:05, 24 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The reason I did so was because interviews, particularly ones with long questions and answers, tend to be very difficult to read. Above the first question, there's a link to a black-and-white version that I created for people who have custom formatting, or who can't read it that well in color.
