current state of image

Image:Crossbow_diagram.png: I don't really care about the outdated name of this, but the image itself needs to be altered to remove the word "CROSSBOW" (in "Area targetted by CROSSBOW": should just be "Area targetted"). Can someone take this on? I'd really like to see this already dealt with before we publicly announce this as a WikiProject. -- Jmabel 23:21, Oct 4, 2004 (UTC)

I hope this isn't a controversial idea, but can we just abandon the image -- I just don't like the whole idea of a "weapon" "targetting" certain deficient areas as a metaphor for improving Wikipedia. Thanks, BCorr|Брайен 00:15, 5 Oct 2004 (UTC)
I agree though could there be another image somewhere to break the text up? That's perhaps a more controversial idea than getting rid of this one... -- Graham ☺ | Talk 00:20, 5 Oct 2004 (UTC)

"would normally be longer"

I've taken the liberty of deleting from the list of the concerns of this project the phrase "Subjects which would normally be longer in other encyclopaedias." It's awfully vague, and I don't think it's useful. I've added one remark, reminding people that there already is a Wikipedia:Requests for expansion. -- Jmabel 00:02, Oct 5, 2004 (UTC)
