In Eviction i don't see what i do with the tenant who have NOT lease.I need know about this. Rosangelaludvig
Err, this might just be me, but no images are appearing. I'm using Mozilla Firefox, and when I click the link to an image, it brings me to a "Server not found" page. Crüsäder

Is there any way someone can change the main page so that when it is first loaded, the insertion point is already blinking in the "Search" box (like, for example, when you go to Google). It would mean that the moment a person loaded the page, they could type what they're looking for. It's an encyclopedia, so the search box should have a little more priority, don't you think? The fact that it takes an extra click to get to the search box suggests that the main page is primarily a "click-thru" page to other content. I may be wrong, but for me the main page is primarily where I start searching (by using the very tiny search box that I have to first click in). Spmenic
Bob Marley died 25 years ago today (11 May) , shouldn't that be mentioned on the main page ?
He died of cancer, partially, it seems, due to his reluctance to take advange of Western medicine. Marley's article suggests that his birthday, not his deathday, is what is celebrated annually. Does Wikipedia do these anniversaries on round numbers like 25? -- 71.139.168.199 11:57, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Can anybody give me more names for Japanese? See page Kitsumiti -- Shadow ruler 19:03, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

I wonder why wire tapping isn't mentioned in the recent news section.
While I think the topics are relevant to current events, I don't think the computer game and China prostitution articles should be main page articles. These topics just aren't what most people go to an encyclopedia for. A main page article should have broad appeal to all audiences. Perhaps you could have a "relevant topics" box at the bottom of the first page to contain references to these types of articles and ideas with hypertext links for those interested. I think the main page article should also contribute to the days' news. For instance, since the NSA wiretapping was in the news, the main page article could have been on the NSA or spying. Just something so that when you wake up and turn on Wikipedia you get an article that that is somehow relevant to the day's news.
And today's featured article is about a computer game. Once again Wikipedia shoots itself in the foot. Scranchuse 02:14, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

How do you think Baidupedia's article on Prostitution in the People's Republic of China compares with Wikipedia's? Hawkestone 11:45, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
I think that the photo they used was inappropriate. The timeframe of the story is post-Mao and the near-WW II vintage photo seesm out-of-place, especially the dreary and menacing nature of the soldier and that large bayonet. It will not help with the Blocking of Wikipedia in mainland China either. Wikipedia does not need to censor itself, but this will not help the situation. -- 71.141.22.14 12:48, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
I personally think that wikipedia could have censorship to some extent. In my opinion, the featured article today "Prostitution in the People's Republic of China" paints a bad picture about China. It can also be linked with racism to some extent. Also, I don't see the point of having articles of prostitution of any country. People that are brought up in Europe or America might not think that it is offensive, but as a person brought up in Asia, I declare that I am very offended by the article. Also, I doubt the information of "Prostitution in Hong Kong" being correct at all.
You might think that China blocking wikipedia is ridiculous, but to some extent, some content in wikipedia does give people a bad image to China, or cannot be accepted by people in China. Cherubfish 14:43, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
My point is, most people brought up in Asia do not find it interesting, and would be offended. If a person from America/ Europe does not find it offensive, then I won't mind protitution articles about those countries existing! Also, I demand more information on the term "encyclopedic" in terms of wikipedia's standards.
Also, note that, I only said "I don't see the point of having articles of prostitution.", NOT "these articles should not exist", so I am not having reverse discrimination here. I am just passing on an information of people brought up in Asia may have the tendancy of being offended. Cherubfish 16:02, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
Normally, people brought up in Asia (especially north east Asia) associate prostitution and prostitude with pornography quite well. Cherubfish 19:59, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi. Could you guys consider posting the followin Wiki on May 27?- F-4 Phantom- Its maiden flight was on May 27, 1958. Please! ( Hpetwe 19:44, 13 May 2006 (UTC))
The short description of the Sanssouci article contains a spelling error; "single-storey" should read "single-story."
It should be "WWF's Hulk Hogan" or "WWE's Hulk Hogan" or "Wrestler Hulk Hogan". WrestleMania is an event, and as such Hulk Hogan can't really belong to it.

When will Wikipedia ever have over 1,000 featured articles? It's getting tougher to promote featured articles these days. General Eisenhower • ( at war or at peace) 18:20, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
The blurb for the Featured Picture - International Space Station says "there have always been at least two people on board" (emphasis added).
Actually there were five shuttle flights that docked with the ISS before it was permanently manned, during each of which there were several people on board for several days before it was once again left unmanned.
So, it should say something like, "there have always been at least two people on board since the arrival of the first permanent crew." - Reaverdrop 22:42, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Today's featured picture about the British Museum describes the Great Court as a "covered square", but it's unclear from the picture if it's a geometric square (that was my first impression) or some sort of town square.

A news item currently reads: "Dutch parliamentarian Ayaan Hirsi Ali resigns after renewed revelations that she lied on her asylum application." But there were not in fact any new revelations about her asylum application, as the lies had been known about for years. The tone seems like anti-Hirsi Ali POV. I would recommend something more like, "Dutch parliamentarian Ayaan Hirsi Ali resigns amid threats to revoke her citizenship over immigration violations." -- Tisco 05:31, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

> 1980 - Mount St. Helens erupted (pictured), killing 57 people in Washington
Whoa! Did Osama agitate that volcano? You should understand that 90% of world population thinks of the US capital when "in Washington" is mentioned, so the front page should make it clear that the event was in W. State, not the D.C. (Which is regrettable however, as hillbillies are much more worthy than politicians. Some 57 less of those corrupt liars would have been a feast). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.70.32.136 ( talk • contribs)

Is it just me or does calling Charlotte Corday a "poor French aristocrat" seem kind of oxymoronic? Patking90 15:34, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
I think the characterization of the Cross-Harbor rail tunnel's new jersey origin being "central jersey" is completely wrong. First of all, it is on the hudson river, the coast of new jersey - which is a unique region of new jersey. further south, it is referred to as "the shore." Second, central jersey is a region south of the new york metropolitan area. Central jersey can be safely said to be a region that buffers between seriously high commuting popultations (to new york) and extremely low commuting populations(to new york). Jersey City is definately in North Jersey. I'm sorry that this post is grammatically (sp?) abhorrent, but i was just thinking with my fingers. pardon me.

I know this has been discussed extensively before, but I'm going to take a crack at re-opening discussion... We need to find some way to add Portal:Philosophy to the list of main portals. It is currently part of the {{ browsebar}} that sits atop the main portals, but discussion at Wikipedia talk:Portal may lead to its removal to match the Main page. If this happens, the philosophy portal as well as all the religion portals will be almost impossible to reach through the main sections of portals, going from one portal to the advertised "related portals" or "subportals" (Science or History->History of Science->Philosophy->Religion is the only path I can find).-- ragesoss 19:24, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Would an editor add a link to the article 2006 Champions League Final on the word "final" in the match's "in the news" entry? Thanks.
> 1980 - Mount St. Helens erupted (pictured), killing 57 people in Washington
Whoa! Did Osama agitate that volcano? You should understand that 90% of world population thinks of the US capital when "in Washington" is mentioned, so the front page should make it clear that the event was in W. State, not the D.C. (Which is regrettable however, as hillbillies are much more worthy than politicians. Some 57 less of those corrupt liars would have been a feast). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.70.32.136 ( talk • contribs)
Fixed... I guess. Could someone look it over and see if it sounds ok, though. Thanks! -- SmthManly / ManlyTalk / ManlyContribs 21:19, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
The Main Page is great and I suspect would get even more coverage if it could be provided in RSS format. Is it possible? It would certainly make my life easier. Steve (who's forgot his login, oops!)
Can someone please tell me why we've had the same main page featured article for eight days now, when they usually change each and every day??? Is there some problem? Happy-melon 19:19, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
Thanks - fixed now. I dunno why it randomly stopped refreshing the page for me - it was fine for months up till now! Happy-melon 18:05, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
Hey guys! I just had this idea. Can admin folk change the format of the Wikipedia template so that it includes different colors as well? Just a thought. ( Hpetwe 01:11, 20 May 2006 (UTC))
Okay! I didn't know that it would be this radical. I'm really sorry, but please do try to sound a little less angry. I only wanted to know if they would be able to, not asking them to do it. Never mind. Forget it. I don't want to cause anymore uproar. I won't say it again. Sorry. ( Hpetwe 18:00, 21 May 2006 (UTC))
Did you guys use photoshop, or something for the logo. How did you guys come up with it? Amaas120 04:26, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
Is it just me or does calling Charlotte Corday a "poor French aristocrat" seem kind of oxymoronic? Patking90 15:34, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
I think the characterization of the Cross-Harbor rail tunnel's new jersey origin being "central jersey" is completely wrong. First of all, it is on the hudson river, the coast of new jersey - which is a unique region of new jersey. further south, it is referred to as "the shore." Second, central jersey is a region south of the new york metropolitan area. Central jersey can be safely said to be a region that buffers between seriously high commuting popultations (to new york) and extremely low commuting populations(to new york). Jersey City is definately in North Jersey. I'm sorry that this post is grammatically (sp?) abhorrent, but i was just thinking with my fingers. pardon me.

That is a very POV term to use on the main page featured article.

Ummm... that is the name of the Revolution. See Glorious Revolution. -- SmthManly / ManlyTalk / ManlyContribs
On the contrary, it would not fit with Wikipedia's NPOV aim to refer to it as anything other than the Glorious Revolution. siarach 10:43, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
I would like someone to delete the article Serbia and Montenegro (whoever knows how to do it) or to correct the article to -past tense-. --Boky Boky 09:56, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
I know this has been discussed extensively before, but I'm going to take a crack at re-opening discussion... We need to find some way to add Portal:Philosophy to the list of main portals. It is currently part of the {{ browsebar}} that sits atop the main portals, but discussion at Wikipedia talk:Portal may lead to its removal to match the Main page. If this happens, the philosophy portal as well as all the religion portals will be almost impossible to reach through the main sections of portals, going from one portal to the advertised "related portals" or "subportals" (Science or History->History of Science->Philosophy->Religion is the only path I can find).-- ragesoss 19:24, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
I thought I'd mention that today is Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's birthday! Since Google changed their logo for that today. -- 66.82.9.76 21:57, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
I think the main page is a bit too long. Please shorten it.
I would strongly suggest putting the current date and time (UTC) on the main page. I know the date is there already under "On this day.." but it would be nice to have it prominently displayed somewhere. — M e ts501 talk 03:16, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
