IMHO the Coordinate is way better placed below the title line in the upper right corner.
The featured article icon and the approved version icon could be placed next to each other (the approved icon in the right and the featured article icon would be placed a bit left from it) directly above the title line (and not in the site notice).
That sounds reasonable.
By the way en.wikipedia is already doing so and places the coordinates below the title line, see for example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin
However de.wikipedia does not have a the "From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia" tag line (luckily IMHO as I don't like redundant branding everyhwere) and placing the coordinates below the title line would interfere with the first line of text but I am sure that people in de.wikipedia will be able to solve this nicely.
In some articles, for example http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin, you also have the spoken articles link, but this seems to be a particular feature of the german wikipedia.
Yes and in en.wikipedia you have the locked icon for write protected articles (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin which is protected at the moment). So probably every Wikipedia has some individual not quality related icons there.
This leaves us with two icons there. Not really what I dreamed of, but it will serve.
Hm another solution would be a merge of quality related icons. If the approved icon has a label in the HTML source code (and is located within a labeled container) people could influence it easily via template + CSS and could replace it in these cases indvidually with a combined "featured + approved" icon. As well the info box with pops up on clicking at the approved icon could also be extented by them individually with a line indicating "featured article" status.
So we could take this as an opportunity to get rid of these problems with a very good point. ;-)
Yes, but we have to be careful not to step on everyones feet.
Of course the solutions for these icon hacks in Wikipedia should be decided by the Wikipedias themselves but we now have some suggestions and of course we can take care in advance that we have proper labeled elements which can be modified more easily within the wiki via templates + CSS.
So I think we can provide the Wikipedias enough flexibility that they can solve it smoothly.
