If you were to keep the external width of the graph, changing "All Reputation Types" to "Total" or "Sum" would result in a big improvement, assuming the actual graph grows as much as the legend shrinks.

moving the legend inside the graph itself is a major step forward.
Thanks.

How does 'Rate this message' (at the bottom right of every comment) fit into the reputation system?

IMO this is it at the moment:
- your question or reply yields +5/-2 of Authority when upvoted/downvoted (not sure how 2,3,4 maps unto those)
- you up/downvoting a question or reply doesn't bring you anything (?)
FYI: your guess is as good as mine, available explanations and observability are limited...

It depends on the type of forum and type of message. I know.. we'll have to clarify the descriptions on the FAQ page.
For programming forums (where you are the message owner):
* Question/answer up-voted: +5
* Question/answer down-voted: -2
For discussion forums (e.g. Lounge):
* Message posted: +1
* Message up-voted: +5
* Message down-voted: 0
No points are awarded for the member performing the vote for any forum messages.

Many people very often don't post an actual answer, but just a comment. If someone else votes for this comment, does the poster (for the comment) get +5? I apologise if I'm being a little too inquisitive here.

Yeah that is true but we've decided to only award points for questions & answers specifically. One thing we don't want is regular comment posts to get points simply because another member likes or agrees with it.

Actually the Oxford English Dictionary prefers Z to S on soft sibilants, it is just most people think that Z is an Americanism, but it is not.

The quick answers thing lists answers in the REVERSE order they are submitted. This means that the first guy with the correct answer will probably not get credit for the providing answer. It happened to me yesterday.

I expect the order of the answers to vary when they accumulate votes, putting the best answer on top. So chronology is lost, and when answers start building on or reacting on others, it becomes a complete mess.

It isn't in reverse order. At times I've noticed that when I post a reply, it is inserted somewhere in between other replies.

Thanks - will fix this.
We'll have the Top Rated tab first sort by rating then by date posted (oldest first).

Having just reviewed and article that is entirely in arabic script, I double checked the article sumission guidelines, hoping to reference some guidance that the article should be written in English. Much to my surprise, the guidelines make no statement at all about this. I think they should, since most members will reject an article in any other language, usually with remarks that this is an English language site. It would be better if this were in the guidelines.

people repeatedly claim this, however it is stated nowhere as far as I can see.

I don't. I do not mind seeing articles or posts in some other language; if that results in a better text, why "reject" it?

Not sure I've seen it explicitly stated anywhere, but it has been implicitly stated. For example, when you post an answer in Quick Answers, you are told:
Understand that English isn't everyone's first language so be lenient of bad spelling and grammar.
If they expected people to post in different languages, they might have stated "Understand that others may not speak your language as their primary language". Sure, they may have said "English" just because that's what the majority of users speak, but it seems pretty obvious that everything is intended to be English based. As another example, the site is entirely in English (unless there's a language setting I don't know about). Maybe somebody from CP will clarify things explicitly, but for the time being it seems pretty obvious that articles and such should be in English.
Luc Pattyn wrote: if that results in a better text, why "reject" it?
Perhaps CP wants to attract a certain target audience (English speakers), and allowing articles in other languages would lead to higher levels of "noise" (as percieved by those who speak only English). The more noise added, the more time is wasted, and the less that target audience may frequent CP.
Anyway, those are just some ideas. I'd like to see it explicitly stated somewhere how to handle those who use non-English languages (e.g., let 'em be or disallow that behavior). Also, explicitly stating it somewhere would help to encourage or prevent non-English information.

I don't mind neither, but it can be quite difficult to know if it is good/helpful/useful if you can not understand it
