Sorry to complain but the Visual Editor is very slow. It needs to be faster. Kamran Mackey (talk) 01:02, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

When seeking to review and save the work we are given two choices: "Something is wrong" and "Looks good to me". In fact "Something is wrong" actually means "Report a problem". Please re-title the button. Otherwise it leads the first time user to think they can go back to make a correction to their editing effort. Thanks.--S. Rich (talk) 02:26, 30 December 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for your feedback; this screen (pre-save automatic diffing) is only here whilst we are unsure about the stability of the Parsoid service. In the longer-term (before it's the default editor and new users will likely see it), it will be removed from the mandatory workflow. This should remove the possibility for confusion.

Linking isn't a major problem unless you want to pipe a link, in which case it's impossible. I randomly picked Lysgårdsbakken to make an edit (no saving changes). Chose the phrase "small hill" and pretended I wanted to pipe it to Summer Olympics. I choose the link button, and begin typing Summer Olympics; however, it autofills with "Spain" so I write "Spainummer olympics". If I attempt to delete letters, it autofills and replaces them. I figured out a workaround, which is to leave the word Spain and begin typing what you need after the first letter. I.e. Spain→Supain→Summerpain→Summer Olympicspain and then remove the remaining letters "pain". Ryan Vesey 19:59, 9 February 2013 (UTC)

These features should be implemented:

• Resize image
• Edit caption
• Move image
• Delete image Gamewizard71 (talk) 00:07, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

Have templates turn into HTML when VE is activated. Gamewizard71 (talk) 00:27, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

Implement these features:

• Insert Image
• Insert table
• Insert redirect Gamewizard71 (talk) 00:40, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

This is a great step forward for making Wikipedia more welcoming to new editors. I look forward to the day when the other tools and templates (cite, etc.) are integrated into this so I can use it more regularly. Thank you for prioritizing the user experience!

Visualeditor looks very promising. For all the areas that it cannot edit and currently gives a large box with green stripes for when I move my mouse over them, could it give a textbox to edit the wikicode instead as a fallback mechanism? This way we would not have to switch between the visualeditor and normal editing all the time. --WS (talk) 08:57, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

This one looks particularly bad in Safari 6 (without having done any editing) https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Phil_Thompson&oldid=535300833
