Emoticon

Emoticon at the end of the message (":-)"), while making the message a bit friendlier, looks a little amateurish to me, especially when considering that this is a standard message. Would anyone object if I remove it? – (WT-en) Vidimian 08:09, 4 October 2010 (EDT)

IMHO it makes the message less formal, but I don't mind if you remove the smiley. --(WT-en) DenisYurkin 17:44, 4 October 2010 (EDT)

That gave me a second thought. I'm all for informal-sounding messages, lest new users think Wikivoyage is a load of bureaucratic trash, but I guess that can be achived by the custom message. So I removed the smiley, but I'm very much open to hearing ideas to the contrary. – (WT-en) Vidimian 18:09, 10 October 2010 (EDT)
