Hello, something went wrong here: N#571027 ? Can someone check the database why the 2nd half of the interface is missing here? Thank you :)

Why is the obverse description in German and in complete sentence form? 

I really dislike the assay style banknote descriptions we have on many pages. Yes, they are style guide conform but they don't really fit right in the page arrangement and I usually don't want to read 500 words to find simple information that could have been communicated in 50 or less. 

Hello!

 

This registration is indeed quite strange... even when we try to edit the page, not all the fields appear.

 

@dzmitry.huletski, could you take a look at this for us, please? =)

I agree we should discourage such descriptions.
Our general guidelines recommend “concise language”. The guidelines specific to banknote descriptions recommend to “avoid using articles, pronouns and verbs” and give a clear example at the end.
