Indeed. This is uneeded redundancy and of course we have to fight the boxes
and editoral hint creep in Wikipedia.
While we are at it: In the interface anon people see the "current revision"
tab. Therefore the hint to the curent revsion in the quality info box is
redundant and can be left out.
A one-liner like in this mockup
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bild:Sighted-version-mockup.png is way better
than the current text. It contains all the necessary info an anon reader
needs to know. The example interface text in the mockup is in English: "This
article version is reviewed. There is a newer not yet reviewed version
(diff)."
The quality level icon should be the first element (in my example it is a
simple yellow spot), not the last and should not be separated with a newline
by default (people can do this in the wiki themselves if they want).
