Wikipedia is an open wiki. This means that every element of humanity that you despise, every element that despises what you love, and even elements which you were never really acquainted with before exist there.

[edit] Alas this discussion is giving way to every stereotype that men have of women. Lady of Shalott says that the ability to customise the look "is
one thing that could make Wikipedia-editing more attractive to some users".
What does she mean by that? Well, she says at the end that she has a pink userpage and purple talk page. Perhaps she was joking.
The man at PC world told me that women have a very different take on how to buy a computer. My son built one from an old flat screen and various spare parts and memory boards and stuff. My daughter bought a slim and cool looking notebook in, er, pink. [OK that's enough stereotypes]
[edit] No wait a moment she wasn't joking, she really does have a talk page in shocking pink.
