Revert HTGS's visual cleanup change & get the old, much superior image back.

Add new section: "Failure in Design"

Latest comment: 1 year ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Hello,

I'd like to add a section to this page regarding "Failure in Design" as I think it would enrich the page.

Please let me know if you agree with my suggestion, and if so, grant me access to edit the page to add such a section.

Kindly,

@Jnychka: I don't think "access" needs to be granted? I don't think the article is protected in any way. As far as I know even people who did not create an account, editing anonymously/ though their IP addresses can edit the page. Wikipedia is the "encyclopedia that anyone can edit". I just want to alert you that additions should be covered by terciary or secondary sources, and that Original Research (WP:OR) is not welcome. Other than that, thanks for your interest in editing! Hope you are able to add to the article and improve it!User:D Kirlston - talk 00:13, 14 April 2025 (UTC)Reply
