It appears that the length issue has been addressed, so I removed the tag. <fontspan facestyle="font-family:constantia;">[[User:Momoricks|'''<fontspan colorstyle="color:#F64A8A;">momoricks</fontspan>''']] [[User Talk:Momoricks|'''<fontspan colorstyle="color:#FC0FC0;">^talk</fontspan>''']]</fontspan> 03:13, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

:: This was a placeholder for the replacement that never came, and a bit of a joke in itself. It's already been discussed and removed before, but I'm still not sure of a decent replacement - I tried a few with users hanging off it but none of them looked great. Anyway it's not urgent. -- <u style="text-decoration:none; font-family: papyrus;">[[User:SamJohnston|samj]] <small>[[User talk:Samj|<sub style="color:maroon;">in</sub>]][[Special:Contributions/SamJohnston|<sup style="color:green;">out</sup>]]</small></u> 20:22, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

:::''Per se'', humour does not make a text, an illustration or any other form of knowledge inapproriate, uneducational, or unencyclopedic; see the [[Name of the Rose]]. The problem with the image then was that it lacked a caption, thus not providing a context and leaving the uninformed reader unenlightened as why it might be humouristic. I've know written such a caption[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cloud_computing&diff=271550348&oldid=271384387], and I'm not certain that it cannot be improved. <font color="green">[[user:victor falk|<span style="color:green;">''¨¨ victor'']]</fontspan>]] <font color="green">[[user_talk:victor falk|<span style="color:green;">''falk'']]</fontspan>]] 11:21, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

:::: No, the problem is that it is so dreadfully amateurish and whimsical that it negatively impacts the article. If we're going to use humour at all, I'd consider waiting for something which doesn't require a multi-line caption in explanation. This should be removed again.
