It is a beauty indeed. Four little things:

* the "Recently changed pages" shouldn't extend over two lines. Either
  put it in one line, or go back to "Recent Changes" as Magnus
  prefers.

* In the bottom line, you have "Wikipedia Home" and "About Wikipedia".
  That could be streamlined a bit.

* How about a link in the bottom line saying "Edit this page"? Just to
  drive the point home. Most new arrivals won't click on a boring
  "About" link, but "Edit this page" sure sounds interesting...

* Similarly, in the side bar, I'd change "Edit page" to "Edit this
  page", because that's the real surprising part. Not only can you
  edit *a* page, like you can on many sites, but you can edit *this
  very* page.
