Thank you for covering sounds --Guerillero | My Talk 15:57, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

The graphs at the top of this page are excellent additions, although I wish that larger size images were available. Pine^talk 03:34, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

• Agree. Picture worth a thousand words and all. But I too wish they could be larger. Also, the comment on content is appreciated. More of that, please! And how does all this compare to past years? MathewTownsend (talk) 04:00, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

• @Guerillero: You're welcome, hope it can rise again.

@Pine: My netbook has 1024*800 resolution, so any higher than the current 350 and 331 would look terrible; I'm sure I'm not alone with this issue.

@Mathew: According to Tony1, the total amount of featured content promoted has decreased since several years back. For FA (the easiest to check), this certainly seems true; November had 13 promoted, and we haven't had so few FAs promoted in a month since 2005. Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:32, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

So what does "Will the number of successful nominations continue to increase" mean? Lampman (talk) 19:31, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

• I.e. will we have more successful nominations, or will other processes die? Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:32, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

• But how can it "continue to increase" when it has in fact been steadily declining for years? Lampman (talk) 14:20, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

• The rate of approvals has been decreasing. The total amount can only go higher. Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:42, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
