On the other hand, as both an editor and Wikipedia user/reader, I find the garish boxes a spur to action. I feel compelled to resolve the issue so I can get rid of the ugly box and put in the edit summary "now resolved" or somesuch. I think if the garishness was not there perhaps I wouldn't feel so motivated. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
