It's possible that we'll have a CVS system up and running pretty soon. One way or another we certainly do want to make it as easy as possible for programmers to help develop Wikipedia's code. Please see also UseModWiki for essential information. -- LMS
Do you suppose that starting /FAQ pages would be appropriate? Perhaps the function is already covered by /Talk, but I think that an article subsection that is specifically for questions about the content could really help to refine the content of said articles.
The main article uses the term "international wikipedias" to refer to the non-English versions. I wouldn't call them international; in fact they are arguably "national" and the English version is closer to an "international wikipedia" since people from many countries can read English and several non-native speakers contribute to the English version. --AxelBoldt
I think politics and its social boundaries may be a bit out of date and on the nose right now. Maybe this statement belongs under Meta-wikipedia --JW Apr 19,2003
Oct 17, 2001 Is it possible to get the Wikipedia on a CDROM? Perhaps someone could sponsor a download site with the whole wikipedia zipped up or something so people could download it and use it on their PCs without having to be connected to the net. CR
Shouldn't Wikipedia be the one wikipedia article that is not in the wikipedia namespace? I think the project itself has risen to a degree of importance to deserve its own article in any online encyclopedia -- especially this one. Just my two cents. -- maveric149
I agree. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia article and belongs into the main namespace. AxelBoldt
OK - I will move it back. -- maveric149
I think that the Wikipedia should have its own encyclopedia article, but some of the content should be moved to, say Wikipedia:About Wikipedia. -- Stephen Gilbert (April 2002)
I was wondering whether it wouldn't be a good idea if there was a script that went through articles and found references to dates that weren't linked to the actual dates themselves. Then someone could go through and add the events to the dates in the timeline... Right now all the timeline dates seem very sparse in terms of events. -- The Ostrich, March 23, 2002
It would be nice if you could search for items of 3 letters. Consider that it is almost impossible to search for some topics due to this restriction. Try searching for 'Art' or 'DNA'. -- The Ostrich, March 24, 2002.
Someone appears to have been uploading pornographic images - it might be an idea for someone so enabled to delete them. Example 1003015.jpg . -- The Ostrich, March 24, 2002.
The article states that a copyright claim has been added to the 1911encyclopedia materials; by my reading of the "Legal" section this claim is only on the edits and changes. -- User:Khendon (September 2002)
Who are wikipedia's competitors? Lir 13:11 Oct 27, 2002 (UTC)
The article says "there is a plan to produce a low-cost paper version". Is this so? I was only aware of some discusstion about making a CD. And I thought Wiki is not paper. Could someone please clarify? Arvindn 17:36 Jan 23, 2003 (UTC)
