 Now (since late October ’08) there are problems at [[Uncyclopedia]] to the author’s knowledge.  Uncyclopedia is sensitive about a change in its URL.  [http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Decisions_Time_Folks_-_Let%27s_Be_Organized_for_a_Change].

-Wikia has a controversial Monarco skin which displays advertisements effectively.  Wikia claims Monarco encourages new users by making editing easier. [[ComplaintWiki]] disagrees.  Logged in users don't have to see the advertisements unless they choose to. For example, users may choose to see advertisements on Wikia in order to see how a page looks to other users. When logged in users work unpaid to impove wikis, letting them avoid advertisements is very reasonable.  Monarco skin has a prominent advetisement at the top right hand side of most pages.  Unsually this is acceptable.  When there is also a picture on the top right hand side of a page the layout for users who see the advertisement can be poor especially on small pages.  Logged in users may not realize this when they add pictures.  Has Wikia considered moving advertisments to the left of a page?  Can MediaWiki software detect a picture and move advertisements away from pictures? Wikia please note this.
+Wikia has a controversial Monaco skin which displays advertisements effectively.  Wikia claims Monaco encourages new users by making editing easier. [[ComplaintWiki]] disagrees and compares Monaco to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Coke New Coke].  The comparison may be valid since many users like Monaco or don’t mind it while some dislike it intensely.  Time will tell how far Monaco is or isn’t like New Coke.
+Logged in users don't have to see the advertisements unless they choose to. For example, users may choose to see advertisements on Wikia in order to see how a page looks to other users. When logged in users work unpaid to improve wikis, letting them avoid advertisements is very reasonable.  Monaco skin has a prominent advertisement at the top right hand side of most pages.  Usually this is fairly acceptable.  When there is also a picture on the top right hand side of a page the layout for users who see the advertisement can be poor especially on small pages.  Logged in users may not realize this when they add pictures.  Has Wikia considered moving advertisements to the left of a page?  Can MediaWiki software detect a picture and move advertisements away from pictures?
