In addition, I'd like to see some sort of warning notice if the display area on the evaluation screen does not show the entire note. In fact, if it did that, the display area would not necessarily need to be made larger.

I voted for "Larger" and anyway I would like a warning when something is cut out.

I prefer spending one minute reading detailed contribution notes than having bad data or losing one hour to verify everything myself.

Exactly same here. I can understand why Gerri would prefer shorter notes & agree that they should be relatively concise but sometimes concise is still several paragraphs long depending on the info submitted!

I voted for "Fine as it is", though I think that smaller should be better. People should be forced to be concise, some endless notes being just a pain to read.

I for one, can not see how forcing us to add shorter contribution notes would benefit the community.  

If you like you can enter them as short as you'd like, but that doesn't mean that everyone else should be forced to enter notes they do not feel fully reflect the work they have done on a profile.

I always do full audits, and therefore, somtimes, my notes will get rather extensive. And for appearance (and easier reading) I add line breaks between the different sections making them even larger.

If the notes are available in full through the "View Contribution Notes" link, they should also be made available in full when evaluating a contribution in my humble opinion.... 

And in my head there is no such thing as too much information...
