For claims that benefit from an additional description on the claim page, it saddens me when people are too lazy to look, but vote on the claim anyway

OK, maybe not this much...

It's to be expected, so I'm not bothered
If you could hover over that "this claim has a description or image" icon and get a description that pops out via Javascript, I would read them more often

Jyte should enable ‘next’ and ‘previous’ browsing of claims from within claim pagesThe explanation shouldn't alter the original claim, so I don't mind.
Yes, the explanation shouldn't alter the original claim, but it can certainly clarify it - why offer a description at all, otherwise? Some concepts are just too complex or ambiguous without further qualification. Surely as a law student, you of all people would concede that, Kara?
I am reminded that claims should stand on their own.

There's a number of reasons to offer a description. Support and commentary are the only one's I can really get behind, though. If the description alters the meaning of the claim enough, the claim is badly worded.

I hear where you’re coming from D’A and I agree that the more a claim can stand on its own the better, but I find myself siding with Prunella’s and Rachel’s comments.
