User blog comment:Rupert Giles/Prototype for a new article layout/@comment-5785681-20150118210531/@comment-1038387-20150119221746

What I primarily found not making sense was the "noob graduate" part. And I think calling something snarky or facetious doesn't actually make it snarky and facetious.

I can definitely see some point in the "looking like other websites" thing (though not entirely). My prime concern with the layout, when the examples just came out, was how little it actually looks like a wiki. A wiki should at least have a clear button with "edit" on it, but now, that's tucked away under a little floating circle. If they want to turn readers into writers, as they've said on multiple occasions, that does not sound like a smart move to me.
