==Illustrations == |

There are obviously a lot of things to talk about and if you aren't interested in this piece of it please feel free to start a new section with your discussion point/question/concern/etc. As you can probably see both here and on some of the other policies and draft pages we rolled out we're trying the idea of having illustrations and light humor in the text. These are not in anyway 'set' and may not appear in the final version if they're not appreciated. Legal documents tend to be lengthy, weighty and difficult to read (and rarely read at that) especially when you consider how many sites the average user visits. We want to make these documents as accessible as possible to as many people as possible. We hope to keep everyone's attention with the illustrations and a bit of levity. This is especially the case in the privacy policy but we've seeded them in a couple other locations as well. Do you like them? Hate them? Any specific ones work well or not work well? Should we think about another scene for a specific area? [[User:Jalexander|Jalexander]] ([[User talk:Jalexander|talk]]) 01:50, 4 September 2013 (UTC) |

:I think the illustrations are a waste of screen space and the web page would be physically easier to read without them - eg I wouldn't need to scroll horizontally when reading in a narrow window. |
|||
:The levity and humour in the text is unnecessary and possibly counter-productive. It's hard to take a policy seriously when it compares itself to "eating your greens". "Plain English" (instead of "legalese") is a very good thing, but making it too informal or "chatty": |
|||
:* may create a perception that you don't really care at all - because you're joking about it. |
|||
:* may create ambiguity or uncertainty because the less formal the language, the less precise it risks becoming. |
|||
:The policy needs to be easy to read and factual; it does not need to be entertaining. [[User:Mitch Ames|Mitch Ames]] ([[User talk:Mitch Ames|talk]]) 06:55, 4 September 2013 (UTC) |
|||
::Yes, something like http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/ is perfect, but "funny" images are IMHO a poor idea. |
|||
:Sorry but this "Hi, I'm Rory! I'm here to help explain this privacy policy. Welcome!" is terrible. It is straight from stupid commercial and/or something for a small children. [[User:Bulwersator|Bulwersator]] ([[User talk:Bulwersator|talk]]) 07:03, 4 September 2013 (UTC) |

Perhaps the term "social security number" in the "A Little Background" section should be broadened to include non-US equivalents, as well as other material like driver license numbers or passport numbers? --'''[[User:Rschen7754|Rs]][[User talk:Rschen7754|chen]][[Special:Contributions/Rschen7754|7754]]''' 05:54, 4 September 2013 (UTC) |
