However we need to keep in mind that the same corner is being used by some Wikipedias for displaying data:
Urgs. I always edit in classic skin, there you are save from a lot of this ;-) Well, there are two solutions, either display the new icons directly right of the lemma, display the new icons directly right of the buttons or discus the current situation with the people involved and change it, for example move the coordinates. Actually, I have no real idea what they are doing there so prominently.
Ok let's have a look at one example: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexanderplatz
There you can see (in standard Monobook skin) both the coordinates and the featured article icon in the upper right corner (by the way a bit misaligned in Konqueror, I like those errorprone CSS skin hacks positioning content outside the content frame). It is not exactly aligned to the title line but is placed in the "site notice field."
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).
Of course this would involve some small changes to some templates in Wikipedia but eveyone should be aware that such hacks are not supported by MediaWiki and that they can break anytime and of course everytime you have a longer site notice such hacks cause a problem with text overlays (or small screen resolution with a medium site notice).
So we could take this as an opportunity to get rid of these problems with a very good point. ;-)
if you would click on the icon, a box would unfold: http://www.baach.de/wpdesign/Main_Page_2.html

May we could add a cross in the right upper corner wich gets you back to the originally state upon clicking?
Hm ok this would probably do it. Either a small cross or a small ^ for retracting the small info box. The close icon should be placed in the right corner of the box, cause the mouse is pointing there after clicking on the approved icon. So that you can close it fast and comfortable again.
