Can you improve the design? If so, I welcome your suggestions below. On the other hand, maybe you think this is a bad idea, or maybe you have a better one. Your criticisms are welcome, as well.
Contents |
Ease of use
My first attempt at STUFF reform looked good, but it was needlessly complicated. This new version is not only attractive but also straightforward and modular. The code is very simple, and I was able to create example facts without having to refer to my notes. A child could do this! (Thanks to Jay for giving me ideas and suggestions on how to fix it.) — It's dot com 20:45, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
Specialized signatures
Fancy signatures (such as those used by Jay (Talk), ⇔Thunderbird⇔, and 
Joey (talk·edits), just to name a few) now work just fine (thanks to Jay for the suggestion). Users should sign using only 3 tildes (~~~) so that only their names are displayed. — It's dot com 20:45, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
Votes to Revise
We now have a coherent method to revise facts (thanks to Jay for the idea). The revised fact goes after the votes for the main fact, and it has its own votes. (The specifics of this method still need to be ironed out, but at least we do have a plan.) — It's dot com 20:45, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
Delteated
Some of my favorite decline votes are Delteated, This Decline is part of a balanced breakfast, and And I really don't like him at all (quoting the song by Marzipan). What will happen to these?
- Well, they'll be gone. Sometimes you have to make sacrifices in the name of progress. (As a side note, however, when I was doing research for this item, I noticed that some people really aren't as clever as they think they are... and some people's decline votes are just weird and long.) — It's dot com 04:50, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
Comments About The Page
Let me be the first to say thank you to Dot Com, for all the work and thought he's put into this. I for one, think it's excellent. It is a bit complicated to add a vote, which could be a problem, but if all users can become adept at using this format, I think it'll be a vast improvment. I'm kinda bummed that the specialized siggies don't work, maybe try asking our resident coder for any ideas on how to fix this, but all in all I'm very impressed with Dot Com and what he's put together here. Here's a vote for putting Dot Com at the helm of the page, he seems to have his course set right. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 05:10, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
- It is now a piece of cake to add a vote—and the specialized signatures now work just great.— It's dot com 20:45, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
Name Signing
If this new format is used, I'm not going to make my points be anonymous. I'ld sign my name right after my comment. Just wanting you to know that, because with the way you made it, there's no nametags after the comments and stuff. -- Joshua 11:45, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
- I did that on purpose, because I think that signing the arguments makes people feel like they have to chime in with their two cents, even if they don't really have something to say. Without signing, I think the arguments can speak for themselves, subject to the following proposed guidelines:
- Do not delete arguments; only add them.
- You may revise or merge arguments, as long as the substance of the argument(s) does not change. See (1) above.
- Do not add arguments that offer nothing new, i.e., do not merely second someone else's thought.
