Edit Interface is Not Intuitive

I added Ziff Davis to the sites to watch. I had to submit 6 or 8 times before I realized that I had to answer a math question at the top of the page, nowhere near the submission controls.

Not at all intuitive. The Are you human device should be near the submission controls, and if you don't use them properly, you should get a warning. Instead, it just doesn't work, and you have no idea why.

This does not encourage new users.

Hmm, no human test to edit this page.

In any event, moving the test dialog down near the save page button should be an easy fix.

Getting Started section is redundant

This section is similar to the email sent after signing up on the mailing list, except it does not cover as much, and has different excerpts to respond to. Would it make sense to remove it and to simply mention that it is important to read and follow the instructions in the "welcome" email? Or should we try to make them the same? -- Sudoman 12:53, 16 September 2011 (EDT)

John Sullivan suggested that we get rid of the introductory requirement of answering the three test questions. I would like to do this, and to work on simplifying these pages as well. What do other people think? -- Sudoman 15:47, 30 November 2011 (EST)

Ok, I've updated the involvement process text to be simpler, after a similar version was approved by User:Jgay and put in the mailing list welcome email. -- Sudoman 17:25, 16 December 2011 (EST)

Dealing with spam

There are spammers who change links in this page to some motor spare parts websites, removing the original GNU links. I'm not sure how this can be dealt with? --fbauzac
