St. Martin's Day is celebrated not only in the Netherlands but also in
Poznan,
Poland. There's a tradition of baking croissants stuffed with white poppy ('rogale marcinskie'). There are also parades and concerts, especially on Ulica Swiety Marcin (St. Martin Street), near the
Imperial Castle. Recently it has acquired also some patriotic elements so as not to be seen as a counterweight for Indenpendence Day's celebrations which are held virtually quite adjacently.
I would be glad if someone added 'Poznan' to the text on the main page ('St. Martin's Day in the Netherlands').

I have already asked for this, but no-one listened to me, so I'll ask again - can someone change the "Česká" on the mainpage link to the Czech wiki to "Česky"? "Česká" means something Czech (in the feminine gender), whereas "Česky" means in the Czech language. Have a look at the alternate language links in the Czech language article, it uses Česky too, and so do all the other articles on wikipedia (European Union, Germany, Japan etc). -- Hexagon1 14:44, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
Our guideline that the title of an article appear near the beginning of its introduction makes sense in most cases, but if slavishly adhered to can produce awkward constructions like "The History of Loompaland starts in 1954..." and "The Geography of Loompaland reflects its status as an island..." This isn't a hard problem to solve for article introductions (it's just a convention, after all), but one place where it is a near-requirement is in the introduction for featured articles appearing on the Main Page--because the reader needs something to link to. However, I don't think the occasional awkward construction that results reflects well on what we "consider the best writing in Wikipedia." Also, I don't think it's immediately obvious that that link in the Main Page blurb leads to the article itself--most people coming to the page anew would, I think, expect to be able to click on a "Read More" link at the end of the blurb, or on the blurb title "Today's Featured Article" to navigate to it. Therefore I think we should follow the convention of making "Today's Featured Article" a link to the featured article, and in cases where an intro is better-written without restating the title, write it that way.

I've always thought that the "In the News" section is really badly laid out. Perhaps there is some reason for this, but in order to read more information on the stories in the section, more often than not the links within the little snippit DO NOT link to that story in Wikinews, rather the resulting Wikipedia entry for the word. So if I, for example, read "Jacques Chirac declares a state of emergency, announcing curfews in an attempt to quell the civil unrest across France." and then want to find out more about that story, i have to go click the link at the bottom of the box to go to wikinews and then go find the article (which usually does not have the same snippit as a title, as it will be a general article about the riots in france that I want).

Did you know Chicanismo is a political movement? It is hardly heard of in Mexico and it is *not* adopted by most Mexicans or Mexican Americans living in the U.S. To say otherwise is an embarassment to those of us who have Mexican roots and disagree with the racist politics of Chicanismo and groups such as MECha. I suggest this issue is corrected ASAP on the DYK section. The DYK section while correct gives the impression that Chicanismo is a widely followed movement by all Mexican Americans. -- 67.164.57.14 23:45, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

Cool to see a Brazilian as a featured article. Hope to make some articles about Brazil as good. Doidimais Brasil 02:44, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
Please remove Malaysian Malaysia from DYK. It's been featured before, and has POV issues (I think an anon brought up this issue the last time this page was up. Borisblue 05:09, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
It is true that the Malaysian government has freedom of speech issues especially when coming to a past campaign slogan like "Malaysian Malaysia". I see no reason to remove it. -- Natalinasmpf 09:32, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
It's probably vain, because I'm working on clearing up the links to the Native Americans I'm a little disappointed that they DYK refering to Chicanismo links to Native American which is actually a redirect to Native Americans D-Rock 06:46, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

Did you know Chicanismo is a political movement? It is hardly heard of in Mexico and it is *not* adopted by most Mexicans or Mexican Americans living in the U.S. To say otherwise is an embarassment to those of us who have Mexican roots and disagree with the racist politics of Chicanismo and groups such as MECha. I suggest this issue is corrected ASAP on the DYK section. The DYK section while correct gives the impression that Chicanismo is a widely followed movement by all Mexican Americans. -- 67.164.57.14 23:45, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
In the last Did You Know item, "would condemned" should be "would condemn", and it should end with a question mark to be consistent with the other items. Art LaPella 00:40, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
Why must the news updater be so darn slow?
I'd like it if I could use Wikipedia for news also.
