Edit...
Ugh... Tux? :bleh:

Seriously, that's like one of the most boring banners. :P
We should showcase the best banner on Wikipedia. I think Trilby's Notes, Enclosure, GunZ, Lost in the Nightmare, Noctis or Stranger by Night are the best ones, personally.
I'd pick Beneath a Steel Sky or ADOM.:P

Shouldn't we add a bit about community involvement in making the site grow?

Thanks, BD :bleh:

And let's just pick a better banner, period, hehe.

I'll edit it some when I get home from work, and add history, and stuff about the community.

Guys, what do you think of this screenshot? Is the banner prettier?

The only problem is that the Google ads are replaced by a black background. Somehow, I've blocked them. :bleh:

I don't know, I would have gone with one of these (If I had thought about it before posting :bleh: ):

Yay!
With your superb grammar and spelling skills, and my huge ammount of free time, this wikipedia page shall flourish o0.
I'l try and add some stuff ^^.

Edit: Thought : Can wikipedia do animations? Like, we could combine banners into one animation, this way we don't need to stick to one and if another good one comes along we can add it easily...

No I don't think wikipedia can do animations, least I have never seen any through my browsing of it's pages. But don't hold me to that. :bleh:

I'm dissapointed in you guys, there is a simple test you know...
And yes, wiki can have animations: look. and it's not just standalone pictures...

EDIT: working on making that pic there into an animation now...
edit2: seems that I can't do tha. or more precisely I can but there's a major color loss. that however is not to discourage others from trying, I used the first freeware tool that came up in google (and it hasn't dissapointed me the 3 or 4 times I used it before).

P.S. wouldn't animating it to show different banners mislead people about what our page looks like (since they don't actualy change like that, just after you reload).

I am on a laptop, at a rental house, with a wi fi connection that dies every 50 or so minutes, with no mouse, none of my resource pics, no photoshop, just paint. No freeware programs at all to animate it.

Shush.

Not really, we can keep the homepage pic and insert a graphics section to show off our "graphics team".

Okies, added some stuff and changed the layout a bit. I probably missed some (read: a lot of) stuff, but it's all I had time for, and it's pretty late, so my brain is a bit tired :bleh:
