I noticed today (Oct. 31 that is) that someone has added "You can edit this page right now!" to wikipedia's template. This is fine, however, the HomePage is locked for editing and IMHO it might mislead new visitors.
That would have been Jimbo. We thought it would be a good idea. I also think we should specify on each page the name "Wikipedia" and the fact that it's an encyclopedia. We might do this on a new logo.
Jimbo, would there be a way to prevent that statement from appearing on the homepage? That would solve the falseness problem. :-)
I don't really agree with locking pages, but that is another issue....
I don't like it either, but I don't know how else, short of hacking together a system like Jimbo has proposed, we can dissuade fartboy from doing his thing.
