#No. If you need a huge orange bar to tell you have a message... every time you have a message, then perhaps the accusation of this becoming a social network is really already embedded in the culture. I know...maybe we need that to be a panic bar with a sound effect of an alarm and have it blink? Nah....how about just accepting this as an improvement (which it is) and moving forward.--[[User:Amadscientist|Amadscientist]] ([[User talk:Amadscientist|talk]]) 19:14, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

#*Eh? Amadscientist, you have seen my talk page. Yes, there are comments that might reasonably be construed to be of a social origin (notably, concerning health issues) but I am already struggling without more prominent notification of changes because the vast majority of changes to my page are directly related to article improvement etc. The talk pages of people such as {{u|Drmies}} and {{u|Malleus Fatuorum}} are replete with many jests, jibes and arguably "social" comments but I suspect that the ratio is pretty much the same, and the placement is more high profile. We humans are social animals and you cannot get away from that but to vaguely suggest that the bar is somehow co-related to the accusation of WP becoming a social network is, well, unappealing and misplaced. Since the bar's replacement is pretty much cosmetically similar to what ''is'' in fact a social network ... the argument looks weak. - [[User:Sitush|Sitush]] ([[User talk:Sitush|talk]]) 23:31, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
