Has the font used to display the title of Wikipedia pages changed? I noticed things looked different today and have just worked out what the change is. Is there a discussion about this anywhere, or more information? Carcharoth

Ah, OK: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:VPT#Font_size_and_style (I tried searching, but the search engine probably doesn't pick up recent threads) Carcharoth

New subject: "Because you don't hear it enough"

An editor wrote this on Jimbo's talk page. I hope you will appreciate this as much as I do. "Because you don't hear it enough" "I love it here. I love Wikipedia. It's got its problems - lots of them. It has its issues. It's not perfect. But that, in its way, is the point. It's not a complete encyclopedia, it's an encyclopedia that you, and I, and everyone else on the planet (and maybe people not on it) are welcome to edit, as long as we're trying to make it a better encyclopedia. It is flawed, but that is the essence of humanity's works. So I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this magical, wonderful, flawed, human endeavor. - Jorgath (talk) (contribs) 19:24, 2 April 2014 (UTC)"
