If they happened as a direct consequence of a user action, maybe it should appear inside the interface where it was performed?
Agreed, interaction related notifications should be localized in the interface where the action is be performed. This increases visibility and implies a connection to the user action.
Aye, and while putting notices in the things themselves would only be feasible with some, still tying the other notices to the relevant part of the page would probably help. Like if when clicking the star to watch something, the bubble appeared pointing to the watchlist, that would make the connection between the star and the list itself better than any block of text explaining it ever could...

Hmmm... that's actually a pretty nice idea. Though we'll need a separate system for that.
