Hi, out there!
I have two suggestions:
1 - searching: PLEASE, PLEASE do a rework on the current rating method; try to find the official entry for 'earth' (which says: mostly harmless) with the current seach system. Maybe sort the found entries: first 'word is in title'. Also the alphabetical list is not good to handle: maybe a hirachically list (choosing the next letter) is better.
2 - counting: I think all of the articles are stored in a database. So it should be not that work (I think) to add a counter to every page, how often the article was read.
3 - If an article is displayed, it would be nice to have somekind of flag, that shows if the current article is an official, if it's submitted or if it's another.
Regards
Andre

Thanks for the feedback Andre. You can tell if an entry is an approved entry because it has an editor as well as a Researcher listed. Unapproved entries just have a Researcher. You can only tell if it has been submitted by looking in the search engine, and yes this is a nice idea.
We've recently been looking at ways of improving the way pages are shown, and we'll be introducing an updated system within the next couple of months.
