Icons: rename 'comment' to something else such as 'notes' or 'info'

Title:
Icons: rename 'comment' to something else such as 'notes' or 'info'

Area:
icons

Summary:
People use the 'comment' field in very different ways: to give credit to the icon maker, provide additional keywords, categories or information, mention whether it's shareable or even don't use it at all. It seems to me the word 'comment' doesn't really fit any of these uses. Something like 'notes' or 'info' would fit better and may help distinguish this field from the description one.

Note: edited to add better suggestions.

I don't have an opinion on whether the field should be relabelled. But if it is, I think "More" is not a good choice, especially appearing right next to the keywords. The keywords are just that: keywords. It's not a free-form field to do with as you will, although it is often misused as one; they are treated specially by the system. Putting a box right underneath the keywords marked "More:" is only going to add to that problem.

I don't have any strong feelings about whether it should be renamed or not, but how about "Notes" for an alternative label?

Yes, I agree on both counts.

*nod* My with changes would be something like "notes" or "info".

[ninetydegrees]

I would love either of these. I'll edit the post.

[ldybastet]

Oh? Hmm... I always saw "comment" as meaning it's a comment I write about the icon in question.

[turlough]

Me too, but "notes" or "info" would work just as well so I don't have a strong opinion about this either way.

[ochibashigure]

I'd personally like to see a section specifically for credit or something, on top of a better labelled field like "notes" or "info".

+1 although i think it would be neater if the credit were the last section. keywords, notes, then credit.
