Just a little while ago someone posted a pic of a bloody vagina on the main page (probably the same loser who posted that mutilated penis pic a week or so ago). I'm guessing that this was done by adding it to an unprotected template that was used on the main page. A bot that automatically protects all templates used on the main page would certainly be a good idea. I'm even thinking that it might be a good idea to semi-protect all templates by default, since template vandalism can show up on hundreds of pages at once, and that way, even if one of the main page templates is left not fully protected by accident it will likely prevent vandalism to it.-- Azer Red Si? 02:50, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
There's a huge teletubbies image on the main page... it links to an article on penis.-- Gonzalo84 00:45, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Unfortunately, we now have the first confirmed fatality of the explosion. One of the missing men was finally found dead inside his vehicle: http://www.elpais.com/articulo/espana/Carlos/Palate/murio/asfixiado/aplastado/minutos/despues/atentado/Barajas/elpepuesp/20070104elpepunac_1/Tes The other one is still missing. Could anyone please update the info in the main page, so that it now reads something like '...leaving 1 killed, 26 injured and 1 missing', or something like that? Thanks Raystorm 13:05, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
Forgive the capitalisation, but it now seems as if Wikipedia's being lax. Almost every single time there's an article making mention of something to do with England, it's referred to as Great Britain, or the United Kingdom. Even if one considered this dubiously fine, it's usually being done before 1707, and the union between England and Scotland.
Today's article on the main page referring to the burning of the palace of Whitehall says "English Monarchy," and links to the British Monarchy page! The British Monarchy won't even exist for another nine years from that date of destruction!
I feel like I'm posting the same thing every single time. If it's before 1603, the it's England and Scotland seperately (Obviously not the War of the Three Kingdoms period under Cromwell's forced unification).If it's after 1603 but before 1707 then It's England and Scotland under one crown. If it's after 1707 then England and Scotland together are the Kingdom of Great Britain.
With all due respect, it's beginning to seem like some individuals know fully well what they should be writing, but don't.
Cheers.

I see that the green bar on the donation template on the top continues to move to the right. Is this signifing how close Wikipedia is to reaching its goal amount of money? What is their goal? It must be over a million and a half. Seldon1 18:14, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Over on the wikinews mailing list we were discussing what we would do on April 1, and Jimbo (as in THE Jimbo) mentioned that he has always wanted to have the front page of wikipedia have all the sections link to really unlikely but true articles/pics etc so that when people visit on April one they think it is a hoax but it actually isn't.

We all know reveting vandalism is the most common way to stop it. But is it the best? We should be thinking outside of the box, coming up with new ways to stop vandals. (Are there any?) Reverting is not always effective, and it's as dull as watching paint dry.
I know this is not the best place for this, but lets face it--you get the most respone on the main page. Seldon1 17:17, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

The wikilink for Middle Kingdom on the FA teaser leads to a disambiguation page. It should be corrected to Middle Kingdom of Egypt. Mrbluesky 20:12, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
Very interesting. I thought I would get a whole lot of responses involving two things: 1. "WIKIPEDIA IS NOT CENSORED!!!!11!!" and 2. "You're so stupid, you write 'ugly-ass dead guy' and you want it removed? Ha, ha!" Instead, I got a very nice and simple answer, plus a comment which has nothing to do with what I said (except the fact that it's connected to the FA). 89.120.193.125 20:31, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi, Its not very important but I just noticed in the "Did you know?" section it says this:
...that curb feelers (pictured) are especially popular for hotrods with whitewall tires?
To be honest, thats not really true. I don't think I have ever seen a hotrod like that, not even the very old ones... Just thought i'd get that out while i'm learning how to use wikipedia. Ad0500 21:36, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia needs to have an edit title feature, there are too many titles that have grammatical mistakes. These titles lower credibility, and make the site look BAD. Any thoughts? Danielfolsom 21:00, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
Can't find the right place to report this, so I'll start here - the image for January 25th's On this day... is gone. I can't seem to find a history for it either! SkierRMH 21:16, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
The link to the picture (animation) of the day is
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Today's_featured_picture_(animation)
If you click on the link, it takes you to that page. However, if I click the link from the main page, it turns into
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Today%27s_featured_picture_%28animation%29 (the same page, but with code substituted for symbols in the address)
Why does this happen?

I may be completely blind, but I don't see the picture of the day today. What's up with that? 22:46, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
This may be a stupid idea, but there could be perhaps say an 'ask page' or something where users could ask questions who's answers are a bit to complex or ambiguous for search sites. Also if you had pictures of say an animal you could see if other people could identify it. Yahoo has something like that but not quite. Maybe there is such a page i'm new to wikipedia so I wouldn't know, hopefully I posted this in an appropriate place. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Gotskills22 ( talk • contribs) 03:35, January 9, 2007.

See War in Somalia (2006-present). The ITN line should read something like (not final): "An United States Air Force AC-130 gunship attacks suspected Al-Qaeda operatives entrenched in southern Somalia".
She's old news. That was Friday. This is Tuesday. Even the mention of her has moved so far down the page that it's separated from the photo. I suspect that any resistance to removing her photo may be based on "in your face" DailyKos politics, rather than legitimate copyright concerns about other photos. Can't we move the photo down to keep it with that mention? - ClemsonTiger 14:18, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

The DYK on this park is incorrect - the article stated that this park hold the only memorial to war correspondents killed in combat in the world, but there is actually at least two other prominent memorials of this kind in the US - the OPC memorial center in New York City and the memorial at the Arlington National Cemetery.

I know we ask a math question before allowing an account to be created, to protect from vandalbots and automated spam.

Sorry, but I was not sure where to put this. Wikipedia should get an Amazon Affiliate account to use when linking to any book. This is a way to raise money for Wikipedia, which will require less donations to help it sustain itself!

Little goof: the 2000 Sri Lanka Cyclone summary in Newest Articles has 500,00 instead of 500,000 (which is on the original page). Can't fix it myself... graphite _ elbow 13:43, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
Nothing against Nancy Pelosi, but could someone please replace her pic with something fresh? Merci! 24.82.168.119 04:23, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
Yeah Nancy Pelosi is getting annoying...you could change it to a laughing baby or something. Dagari 04:58, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
Tired of seeing Nancy Pelosi? Well guess what? So am I. I want another picture to be there. For the past 3 days I am stuck seeing her face. Please someone change to photo to another news article. thanks Sf49rox 05:34, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
See War in Somalia (2006-present). The ITN line should read something like (not final): "An United States Air Force AC-130 gunship attacks suspected Al-Qaeda operatives entrenched in southern Somalia".
She's old news. That was Friday. This is Tuesday. Even the mention of her has moved so far down the page that it's separated from the photo. I suspect that any resistance to removing her photo may be based on "in your face" DailyKos politics, rather than legitimate copyright concerns about other photos. Can't we move the photo down to keep it with that mention? - ClemsonTiger 14:18, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
It's interesting to see how a fake smile bores people quicker than any other picture.-- cloviz 15:05, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
There's another option. You could suggest a few new news items, or just grow up and deal with Nancys picture. dposse 20:07, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
So Pelosi is attacking Somalia now? Can't we get a pic of the plane, for a change? -- Howard the Duck 07:23, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
The link for Salamis on the image of the day for January 9 goes to a disambig page. Can we get that changed to either Battle of Salamis or Salamis, Cyprus? z4ns4tsu\ talk 14:41, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
Why is the Wikipedia logo on Russian Wikipedia all sparkly now? 158.123.160.2 17:53, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
Isn't there a Deguerreotype image of Deguerre than can be used rather than a pencil drawing? Not sure about copyright issues, but there are a ton in google image search ( http://www.acmi.net.au/AIC/daguerre_jemayall_1848.gif). And given his 1789 birth I can't imagine any of them aren't in the public domain. Aepryus 19:01, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
The RSS feed for POTD shows the following page: Wikipedia:Picture of the day/January 10, 2007. Which does not exist. What's happened? -- Midnighttonight ( rendezvous) 01:57, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
The DYK on this park is incorrect - the article stated that this park hold the only memorial to war correspondents killed in combat in the world, but there is actually at least two other prominent memorials of this kind in the US - the OPC memorial center in New York City and the memorial at the Arlington National Cemetery. I've now corrected the article on this point Bwithh 10:08, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
Can someone elaborate on what the phrase "skewed taxonomic diversity" in the opening sentence, means. There is no explanation of skewed in the Alpha diversity or Biodiversity articles and this piece of jargon stands poorly in the opening of an article. Lumos3 13:16, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
I know we ask a math question before allowing an account to be created, to protect from vandalbots and automated spam. But what if we asked a random math question every time before editing an article? This would prevent vandalbots from vandalizing at all. I know this is not the place for this---where do I go to sugesst this? Seldon1 17:33, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
Far right parliamentarians increase their influence within the European Parliament (pictured) by founding a new transnational caucus.
Great job using a wikilinked term having a disputed neutrality and unsourced materal to describe MEPs. Wikipedia is consistently a joke. -- Haizum μολὼν λαβέ 15:39, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
lets mention wikia search on the front page of wikipedia to get more users to wikia.
Just to say i have moved this conversation to Wikipedia:Village pump (miscellaneous)#Oldest still active. Simply south 15:18, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
I have a question about the recent changes page but I don't know where to ask it so I'll ask it here. What are the numbers with the plus and minus signs next to them all about? Like I uploaded a picture to the Battle of Bunker Hill and it said -1 or someone edited a page and next to their name in the history it said +675. What does this mean? --ILoveFuturama 15:21, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
Sorry, but I was not sure where to put this. Wikipedia should get an Amazon Affiliate account to use when linking to any book. This is a way to raise money for Wikipedia, which will require less donations to help it sustain itself!
