I find there is a page named 'Wiki.Cgi' in Chinese Wikipedia, and it made the system running disorderly. please delete it.
I translated some content of the HomePage into chinese, and edited the homepage for Chinese Wikipedia. It is only a translation for the English Wikipedia, or we, Chinese, can edit it freely?
There are two character set used by Chinese, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese. I think Wikipedia should provide two versions for them.
i find it is too difficult to edit Chinese page.
The project is fantastic, but your definition of fascism is hopelessly outdated and misleading: there should be a way of knowing who writes your articles so people have a sense of source: otherwise the impression is of an objectivity which is totally misleading.

I see at least one topic which Wikipedia covers but does not list in its search engine, that is Conditioning. I wrote that article long ago, so it should have been spidered. It contained some provocative comments of mine (but arguable), so I suspect that it has been removed from the search index. Dear maintainers of Wikipedia, why do you start to deceive? Grasso
Some articles are really dull without images, and they are a whole lot less intuitive without those life-bringing and explaining images. Too bad there isnt yet a upload-facility, and too bad that images take more time to make than plain text. :)

Would it be possible to put the parent category on the top of a topic page? For example, what topic would Hanlon's law be under? What about Murphy's law? Occam's Razor?

Just a thought, but why is Wikipedia called that? More of the world uses English than American, so surely the name should be Wikipaedia? Or is the U.S.-centrism unintentional? -- James
Perhaps we should have a parent category for Wikipedians, such as I've just done for me? -- Wikipedians/Belltower
a separate namespace for users is a good idea. we all know how tight nickspace is, and when competing with all the human knowledge, its gonna be tight ;) -- sandos Wikipedians/sandos
Is there some kind of style guide for Wikipedia? I have two specific questions: How to write B.C., as I am sure you are aware some (see political correctness have suggested bce (before common era) etc., and there is the problem of multiple spellings of names in languages other than English. For example on the astrometry page I changed the spelling of Hipparcos to Hipparchus because that is how it usually appears in print.
Clocks or dependancy on machines was not an issue. Time was not an issue. Religion is only an issue for those who seek to invent themselves around it. Like we invented time, not so long ago. __dgd
I happen to personally in the back of my mind chuckle every time I see someone who thinks that they're solving soemthing by using Common Era - after all, the only thing it has in common _is_ the slightly incorrect year of the birth of Jesus. We're right that B.C. and B.C.E. are both dating from Jesus (I tend to say in class "The Christian Era" and "Before the Christian Era" and no one has ever corrected me - they know it's true). We can bend the knee to weaker brethren, though, in the words of St. Paul, and mean different things by our abbreviations. -- MichaelTinkler
At the moment, I would guess random people off the street are more likely to know B.C. and A.D. than they are to know B.C.E. and C.E. That may change some day, but in the mean time, isn't it self-defeating to try and make our articles more accessible by making them less accessible?
Let us suppose I create three pages, A, B, and C. I make A redirect to B, B redirect to C, and you know what I do with C. Will this crash Wikipedia?

Question about the new Wiki software: what is it & is it available for use on other projects? -- Tarquin

I'm just curious, a new user and haven't been able to find this addressed anywhere, why the name of the person who posted each article isn't on it somewhere, an e-mail link, user id, anything. I've been reading random pages, found a few typos I think should be corrected but am not sure which way, of the two ways the word is spelled, is the right one (they're "jargon" words). So don't want to make the change myself. Also, in one case, I'm just really curious who wrote the article in case I might know her/him. So how does one contact the writer, is that possible at all? --BetsyB, 6-11-02 9:40 p.m. CDT

I'm a new anonymous contributor. I have a question about how much detail to put in an article. Is providing source code to an article mouse driver too much detail? Would it be appropriate to create a seperate article mouse driver source code for the code? Is this type of low-level information wanted? What about adding information to the bootstrap article about the format of a boot sector (bios parameter block structure, partition table and signature)? What types of information is desired? Also, what are the guidelines for creating new articles? I understand that this isn't a dictionary, but would it be appropriate to add an article for dynamic linking with a definition and examples? What about articles which compare things? Example: dynamic linking vs static linking. Thanks! — Anonymous
I don't work on the computer science articles, so I can't answer in too much detail. Generally speaking, an article like mouse driver source code isn't wrong (assuming that it doesn't conflict with the GFDL; there are some GFDL/GGPL compatibility problems), but it's probably a lower priority than a new article on an unexplained subject. (Somebody from the CS pages correct me if I'm wrong!) An article on dynamic linking that only defined the term would get us all upset, but what you're proposing sounds better. The important thing is to say something about an idea, not just a word. The article dynamic linking vs static linking is oddly named, but the content sounds great — in fact, it sounds like an excellent addition to the article dynamic linking! We can always spin the debate off to its own page later if dynamic linking gets too crowded. Just make sure to write about the issues from a neutral point of view. — Toby 03:33 Jul 24, 2002 (PDT)

I have two questions. The first is if there is any way to make internal links on a single page; I can't find mention of them in the editing help. For example, I just did some reformatting on the Aberdeen page, and the person who provided the information on Aberdeen, Scotland, provided a LOT of information in multiple sections. If the section names could be provided as a list of internal links at the top of the page, it would be more convenient for users.
Secondly, the only way I can figure to make a new page is to embed a link in an existing page. Is there another way that I've overlooked? If a link is made to a non-existing page, then modified to point to an existing page, does the first empty page still exist?
Hope this is helpful - Enchanter
I just created a page called
SLASH'EM, and I think this game is more correctly called

If you want to do it yourself, you can do the following: Create a new page with the right name and copy the contents in there. The old page should become a redirect (usually), which looks like #REDIRECT [[New Page Name]]. Jeronimo
Hi, I'm new here, as will become obvious from this meta-question:
Is just plain editing the right way to post questions to this page, or this there something that will just prepend a given message to the page?
My first non-meta question is why there isn't a link to computer science from the main page, if there is a link to Biology? Am I overestimating the importance of the field I am in?

I stumbled across Wikipedia the night before last, and I haven't been able to tear myself away to get my work done. Nor have I been able to find a way to communicate directly with management, so I'm using this forum. One of the introductory info pages says there's talk of forming a non-profit org: I have some years' experience with both 501(c) orgs (setting them up and qualifying them) and computers (programming them and negotiating contracts for hardware and software), and I would love to help with that project. Would whoever I should talk to please e-mail me at ks24@georgetown.edu and let me know whether that's a possibility? Thanks,

I would like to add a new top-level area, Stages of Human Life, to the main page (under under Culture) or, more appropriately, to its proper place in a more comprehensive multi-level table of contents.
This new topic would have articles like Conception, Neonatal, Infancy, Toddler, Young Adult, Adult, Marriage, Middle Age, Senior (or Mature, Old, Elder,...), Death and Dying. Further elaboration (subtopics) could include topics such as Neonatal>Sonogram>Ultrasound Sensors.
I understand that I don't need permission to create pages. I'm posting this question here only because I can't edit the main page. David 15:17 Aug 11, 2002 (PDT)
The current Main Page table of contents (TOC) is pretty serviceable for much of the current content of Wikipedia. However, ideally, I'd like to see the 'pedia have a really generalized, multi-level TOC. Creating such a TOC would be a wonderful subproject in itself, and would be welcomed by those who prefer to see articles organized in a logical, top-down fashion, rather than only accessible by searching. It doesn't have to be planned meticulously in advance, since subcategories can be refactored at any time.
The current main-page scheme of only four top-level categories is not satisfying. The fifty three refining subcategories is likewise lacking in a sense of completeness. Some people may be able to think of articles whose content deserves to be in an encyclopedia but do not fit well in the current TOC.
There are some alternative TOC pages, such as Wikipedia arranged by topic, but they contain in their hierarchy only a subset of all the articles. Another problem is that some of them contain redundant topic and/or subtopic information. This may not be a good idea because the information might change in one such TOC scheme but not in another, since they are independent.
Other alternatives, such as the Dewey Decimal System and the Library of Congress catalog scheme are, in addition, not very user-friendly (clearly my own opinion, which I give only to show part of my motivation). They were devised to catalog books, not encyclopedia topic areas.
I look forward to reading others' views on the subject of top-down TOCs. David 15:18 Aug 11, 2002 (PDT)
Guys, what's happening with the Anastasia page? I've tried to update that for the past few days, but my chnages never get saved. Nor can I save anything under Talk.
Crime in Sydney seems to have a similar problem.
I see a number of edits from you on Anastasia Nicolaievna Romanova from today and a couple of days ago; and a couple edits on Talk:Crime in Sydney. If there's something missing from that list, you'll have to be a little more specific... are you trying to make changes, but when you hit "save" you get an error message? Or does it claim to save, but you don't see the changes? (What were the changes?) What browser are you using? (Some may have bugs.) Did you happen to come by during a time when the server was down? etc -- Brion 02:27 Aug 28, 2002 (PDT)
Hi Brion. I see that the changes are there now. However, they just were not being saved the other day. The terminal that I was on (I'm elsewhere now) would save without complaining, but when I returned to either of those two pages, the change would not stay there - this in spite of the changes being noted under recent changes. You can see what I tried to save in the history list. Yet at the same time, it would save changes that I did to Nicholas II. It was very puzzling. In both cases, at that terminal and this one, I was on Internet Explorer. I was largely convinced that you had a server problem - did you?
