Hi Members,
I am offering my opinion on two issues that have come up in the last few
days. I do so, trying to keep the user, or pure inquirer in mind, as well as,
the editors and authors.
First, in regard to "redirect highlighting" proposed by Mr. Manske, I
think that a regular Wikipedia reader will find this quite disconcerting.
At most, I think it should be a logged-in user's choice.
Second, in regard to the "first page" or "main page" contents, I think the
main page, as it is, is far too "busy" for the everyday user. They should be
looking for a choice of language and a place to put a search argument. I think
that is pretty much all that belongs there, in terms of content. This doesn't
mean the page cannot be attractive.
I don't think either of these choices would be a big imposition to our
editors and authors.
Again, just my opinion...
As Ever,
Ruth Ifcher
