Ugly?
I'm trying to tidy and clarify the Wikispooks: namespace pages. I find all the bold strewn around this page distracting and ugly, and suggests that scanning rather than careful reading is in order. Is this just me? I've added a section about emphasis in the "Style Guide", suggesting that bold should be used sparingly. Robin (talk) 17:19, 25 November 2013 (GMT)

This might prove a more thought provoking starter than "The Wikispooks site rationale rests on a view of the world which might best (if simplistically) be described as "Quasi-Libertarian Establishment-Sceptic" - which seems rather unclear to me.
