==Crazy Superscripts==
"Conservative," why do you think it's so important to litter the text with long strings of superscript numbers? Are you trying to adhere to hard science style? That's commendable, but not really appropriate for a general subject encyclopedia. Or a wiki. The brackets attached to the numbers make them more visually intrusive than they would be in print, and having multiple consecutive hyperlinks is bad form from a usability standpoint, especially if they have little or no semantic meaning. A sentence like, "These scientists believe that the earth is young and has multiple lines of evidence from the field of geology showing that the earth is young. [10][11][12][13][14]," would be very difficult to parse with a screen reader, for instance. It also looks very ugly in non-graphical browsers.
In any case, you didn't describe your decision to revert in the "Summary" line. I await your comments now.--[[User:All Fish Welcome|All Fish Welcome]] 21:41, 3 May 2007 (EDT)
