Nix to the garish colors. --Larry Sanger 12:19, 20 March 2008 (CDT)
- What, why? On second thought, color is matter of preference, and if there are real, substantial objections to the way it looks I will change them, but not just because one person doesn't like it. --Robert W King 12:20, 20 March 2008 (CDT)
- One major issue is contrast, rather than colour itself. The yellow at the top right has relatively poor contrast on my screen. Chris Day (talk) 12:43, 20 March 2008 (CDT)
- And, it doesn't fit in terribly nicely with the rest of our (upcoming) color scheme. And, the Editor-in-Chief says so, Robert. --Larry Sanger 12:48, 20 March 2008 (CDT)
- That is the single most totalitarian thing you've ever said to date. Jesus christ, that practically embraces WP:OWN. --Robert W King 12:50, 20 March 2008 (CDT)
- Speaking of which, i plan to code into the subpages template the ability to adjust the colours without going into the heart of the templates. I don't know how the colours fit with the new skin but I suspect we might want to change them. The colours are something that never really got discussed people just accepted them. Chris Day (talk) 12:54, 20 March 2008 (CDT)
- Only if you're looking for "totalitarianism," Robert, and have a tin ear for irony. Consider my tongue being in my cheek: this is the sort of small point where, if anybody has an objection, one should try to work with the person. That's what I do. Now, that said, as Editor-in-Chief, I do reserve the right to make decisions about colors on templates (for chrissakes!), and indeed whether we need a particular template at all. But I am not seriously applying that right here.
- If you feel very passionately either about the colors, or that you should resist my totalitarian tendencies, then by all means--I will say charitably that I admire your courage and design sense. ;-) --Larry Sanger 13:01, 20 March 2008 (CDT)
- You don't get it. Even when people make jokes about their positions in authority, it amounts to harassment. Consider this:
- "Oh sure John Employee, you can do it however you want. But I have to like it or I'll fire you."
- That is exactly what's going on here. Even the (joking) threat that you would override something insignficant exemplifies your abuse of authority and micromanagement. This is exactly the reason why I take extended breaks from the project, and I am not alone on this either I am certain. I will not succumb to this kind of pressure, Larry, ever. --Robert W King 13:05, 20 March 2008 (CDT)
