Hi all, Not sure if anyone has commented on this already (I don't see a corresponding subject), but the tagline on wikipedia pages is now reading "From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit." As I commented several days ago, it used to just read "From Wikipedia, the free encylopedia". Interesting.
Is there any commentary on this change somewhere?

It was changed last week (before your comment) as well, but was reverted (by me). I prefer the original tagline (for various reasons, including consistency with other languages and the Wiki logo), but I haven't the motivation to argue against the change this time.

This message is the first that I have heard about this proposal. Have the proponents of this change nothing better to do with their time?

The tagline was changed from "From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia." to "From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit". The tagline is the small text directly below each article's title, above the article content.
