WIP for review: image —Preceding signed comment added by Nicky Nouse (talk • contribs • wikia ) 07:42, 26 November 2010 (UTC) [ reply ]
I am sorry, but everything sems too squished. ~~ Hi 8 7 8 (Come shout at me! ) 21:01, 26 November 2010 (UTC) [ reply ]
Working from Nicky's original SVG (which rendered quite nicely once I brought it into Inkscape), I was able to touch it up a bit and crop the image. I've updated the SVG file and also uploaded a fully-rendered PNG. New image for review . Bob the Wikipedian (talk • contribs ) 00:35, 31 December 2010 (UTC) [ reply ]
Yes! Fantastic! ~~ Hi 8 7 8 (Come shout at me! ) 05:47, 5 January 2011 (UTC) [ reply ]
This one started looking funky, as well... Was Ireally that blind the first time I looked at it? ~~ Hi 8 7 8 (Come shout at me! ) 05:55, 5 January 2011 (UTC) [ reply ]
Are you looking at the right version ? The SVG isn't for review, only the PNG matters during review. The SVG won't render properly for review purposes. Bob the Wikipedian (talk • contribs ) 20:56, 5 January 2011 (UTC) [ reply ]
I corrected the right margin of the text ability. See the latest version at the same link. Bob the Wikipedian (talk • contribs ) 21:12, 5 January 2011 (UTC) [ reply ]
Oops! I clicked Nicky's lnik, not yours. :P ~~ Hi 8 7 8 (Come shout at me! ) 01:21, 6 January 2011 (UTC) [ reply ]
Comments from the card's original proposal
Quote suggestions
It may be just a tad long, but what about:
It is a truth universally acknowledged that intelligent and otherwise sensible editors and administrators occasionally engage in acts of extreme stupidity.

Is there a guideline as to how long quotes can be yet? Bananaclasic (talk ) 21:51, 19 November 2010 (UTC) [ reply ]
If you can't say it in one breath out loud comfortably, it might be too long. The quote should, in general, be approximately 20 gross words (4-letter words) or less. This takes up about 3 lines on the card. The quotee takes up a fourth line. The quote listed above takes up 6 lines alone, plus a seventh for the quotee, so it might be pushing it. The special text takes up three lines. In all, this leaves a very small strip of space for the image. We'd better find a shorter quote.

I would agree with Bob, after thinking about it. ~~ Hi 8 7 8 (Come shout at me! ) 04:04, 24 November 2010 (UTC) [ reply ]

I would rather not modify the quote, because then it is no longer a quote. ~~ Hi 8 7 8 (Come shout at me! ) 06:53, 25 November 2010 (UTC) [ reply ]
This is from the paragraph below: "The village stocks have been built to identify the wiki-idiots in our midst." —Preceding signed comment added by Nicky Nouse (talk • contribs ) 22:31, 25 November 2010 (UTC) [ reply ]
That seems good. ~~ Hi 8 7 8 (Come shout at me! ) 23:28, 25 November 2010 (UTC) [ reply ]
Agreed. :) Bob the Wikipedian (talk • contribs ) 01:34, 30 November 2010 (UTC) [ reply ]

I was going to nominate a VS one... Oh well. :) ~~ Hi 8 7 8 (Come shout at me! ) 00:14, 2 November 2010 (UTC) [ reply ]
I'd like to hear your idea, anyway. Fire at will... Bob the Wikipedian (talk • contribs ) 02:34, 2 November 2010 (UTC) [ reply ]
I had the same idea. :) ~~ Hi 8 7 8 (Come shout at me! ) 20:18, 3 November 2010 (UTC) [ reply ]
Great minds... Bob the Wikipedian (talk • contribs ) 02:10, 4 November 2010 (UTC) [ reply ]
