Yeah, our sitenotices are of little use to new comers. I have removed the sitenotices from [[Main Page]]. People which interact with commons will see them whenever they start browsing- BTW, Dschwen moved the languages to the bottom, although I'm not sure if it's a good idea. Maybe we should try to detect the language with javascript and offer the choice that we guess is right, with the others hidden under a scroll. _______________________________________________ Commons-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/commons-l
