[edit] Improving the Opera (Internet suite) article.

I think the "Compatibility" section is too long. Wikipedia articles should be written in summary style.

As the "Criticism" section already has a subsection about "Website rendering", do you think that merging some of the information from the "Compatibility" section and re-writing it in summary style would improve the article?

How else do you think we can improve the article? I am considering sending it for Peer review.

--J.L.W.S. The Special One 10:55, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

My opinion:

• Remove Compatibility section
• Create Trivia category
• Move MSN issues from Compatibility to Trivia

I'm working on improving Mobile devices section... I think I will create a new category - Opera devices to which we should move the Mobile Devices section and add a list of main Opera powered devices... What do you think about?

--seifip 11:06, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

One more thing... I think Support category should be removed --seifip 11:10, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Some editors don't like Trivia sections, as they tend to attract trivia that is original research. If we create a trivia section, it should contain 3-5 interesting facts about Opera, which are well-referenced, but don't belong in other sections.

The "Website rendering" subsection of the "Criticism" section would dispel misinformation about Opera. Opera is standards-compliant, and if a website doesn't render correctly in Opera, it's their fault. This is why I think information from the Compatibility section should be moved to it, while retaining summary style.

I agree that the Support category should be removed. --J.L.W.S. The Special One 11:40, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
