I think the information design is fine: it's just the styling I don't like. I've just made a copy of the Main Page, and made some minimal tweaks that just remove the pastel boxes and their borders: see <a href="/wiki/User:Karada/Main_page_redesign" title="User:Karada/Main page redesign">User:Karada/Main page redesign</a>. I can't see how removing these features detracts from the look of the page: if anything I think doing so improves it. Given that the old look is now so tired that even simple hackery like this improves it, I think it's time to hold another competition to find an improved graphic design for the main page.

It looks very 1996 doesn't it? I loathe the pastel colours which are currently used, I think it makes it look unprofessional. You know what they say, people initially judge a book by its cover. In terms of graphic design ours is very dated. A new page design was proposed last year and after months upon months of arguing it ended up being a waste of time as nobody could agree fully on one design. Your version though is even blander.... I would at least recommend the light blue shader for the header currently uses for Vector around the sides.

Despite input from many dozens of editors, it ultimately died a slow painful death because, while many editors wanted something "new", they all had entirely different aesthetics. I see the OP's proposal is to remove all color while an editor above suggests more color than the current design. The editor who started the 2008 proposal ignored the advice given on this page that if you want to change something major like the Main Page you need to be able to clearly articulate what the problem is that you're trying to solve and at least a few leading ideas of how you think it might be solved. Unfortunately, that editor took the approach of "everyone should submit a new idea and we'll find a solution for a problem we haven't yet identified" and started a totally unstructured effort that wasted a lot of people's time. See the bullet points at <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Usability/Main_Page" title="Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Usability/Main Page">Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Usability/Main Page</a> for how the last successful redesign was about much more than making it more stylish, and it still took them 4 months and almost 1000 votes to get it implemented, back when the site had a much profile. If you want to restart the circus, at least set up a competition structure beforehand so you don't spend several months arguing about how to reject designs, because at that point entrants will think you're just trying to be mean to them in particular. - <a href="/w/index.php?title=User:BanyanTree&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User:BanyanTree (page does not exist)">Banyan</a> <a href="/w/index.php?title=User_talk:BanyanTree&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User talk:BanyanTree (page does not exist)">Tree</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Main_Page/Archive_152#c-BanyanTree-2010-06-06T13:09:00.000Z-Aiken_drum-2010-06-05T15:52:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">13:09, 6 June 2010 (UTC)</a> <dl><dd>I've been wondering whether to say this or not.

You should really stop taking yourself so seriously and get a sense of humour. LOL. Of course I was exaggerating, the front page does look very dated, pre 2006 in my view, maybe not literally "1996" but in terms of graphic design it looks very bland and unappealing. Thankyou though for providing so much nostalgia (and amusement). Is it me though or have they slightly darkened the header and the frame of the pages in the margins?

You were exaggerating beyond reason. The main page doesn't look remotely like something from 1996, not even close. When your comparisons are so ridiculous you greatly reduce your credibility. Why would anyone trust your judgement when it comes to re-designing the main page when you make comparisons which are on the face completely ridiculous? Why would anyone agree with you that the main page looks outdated if you are saying it looks like something it clearly doesn't? The first thing many people are going to think is that's a completely ridiculous example and then probably ignore whatever else you have to say. As others have said, defining the problem would help but while you may believe it's outdated, and you're entilted to that view, not everyone appears to agree and if the only comparison you have is it looks like it's from 1996 the number is going to be close to zero so it doesn't help the discussion at all. I do have a sense of humour but your comment was only funny in as much as how obviously completely nonsense it was to anyone who'd actually used the internet in 1996 and how it seems to be the typical case of someone making up complete silliness if they lack better a decent explaination for their view. This is mildly funny but as I've noted, doesn't help anything if you want to have a serious discussion about redesigning the main page. <a href="/wiki/User:Nil_Einne" title="User:Nil Einne">Nil Einne</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Nil_Einne" title="User talk:Nil Einne">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Main_Page/Archive_152#c-Nil_Einne-2010-06-14T03:18:00.000Z-Dr._Blofeld-2010-06-08T21:24:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">03:18, 14 June 2010 (UTC)</a></dd></dl> How about we start by applying a slight gradient to the boxes to match the new theme and figure out a more permanent solution after.

I could indeed write a match report for a game if I have some time tomorrow.

Unfortunately, I, alone, cannot write them all, but I'll try to see if I can get some support for users to start writing them.

Hadseys complains about the presence of two redlinks (which is a bad point, and rather misunderstands the point of redlinks) and then counts the number of references as if that's a measure of quality: no complaint about their unreliability, or an obvious source missed out, for example. The comment about the article having "a neglected vibe about it" is unparticularised (so nobody can respond to it properly, as it's not clear what is meant), inaccurate (check the history for the changes since it was scheduled) and perhaps overlooks the fact that this isn't an area of knowledge where one would either expect major changes or significant new scholarship in a couple of years.

This has been mentioned from time to time in previous discussions (the ones I've found are <a href="/wiki/Talk:Main_Page/Archive_144#Removing_photo_credit_for_the_Today's_featured_picture" title="Talk:Main Page/Archive 144">here</a>, <a href="/wiki/Talk:Main_Page/Archive_105#Photo_credit_for_picture_of_the_day" title="Talk:Main Page/Archive 105">here</a> and <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Picture_of_the_day_photo_credits" title="Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Picture of the day photo credits">here</a>). The discussion has primarily been about removing picture credits since they go against our ideals of an anonymous, collaborative project, but I believe this is going about the problem in the wrong way. Instead of providing less credit, thereby removing a very valid incentive for major contributions, I think it would be more appropriate to expand what is already an established practice. There are obviously different standards of how credit is given for texts and pictures in the mainstream media, but I seriously doubt that writers are routinely passed over for credit the way we do at English Wikipedia. In my experience a lot, if not most, FAs are written primarily by one or a few individuals who do just about all the research and contribute 99% of the actual content. Countless other editors make valuable contributions in the form of advice, constructive criticism and copyediting, but I can't imagine that spellchecking and pointing out factual errors would really be enough to consider all of them bona fide co-authors. I know I would never try to make such a claim just because I edited an FA mostly written by others and I have serious doubts that anyone who has helped out with reviewing or copyediting an FA would ever make such a claim. It would be akin to a professional copyeditor claiming authorship to an editorial or a novel they once proofread, or an academic peer reviewer demanding shared copyright to a dissertation. To provide an actual example for discussion, I'm going to quite shamelessly propose an article that I have myself worked on. I updated the article on the 16th century warship <a href="/wiki/Mary_Rose" title="Mary Rose">Mary Rose</a> about six months ago and I did so almost singlehandedly, research as well as prose. It's been tweaked excellently for grammar and prose by many other editors, and there's been some very good FAC reviewing, but I think I have a pretty solid claim as the primary contributor who made the article what it is today. I'm going to place a request that it be featured on July 19 in about a week or so, and I would very much like to have mainpage credit for all my hard work — the same credit that anyone who took a really good photo or retouched an old image has taken for granted since <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Picture_of_the_day/May_2004&oldid=17257851">TFP was first introduced</a>. <a href="/wiki/User:Peter_Isotalo" title="User:Peter Isotalo">Peter</a> <a href="/wiki/User_talk:Peter_Isotalo" title="User talk:Peter Isotalo">Isotalo</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Main_Page/Archive_152#c-Peter_Isotalo-2010-06-13T17:44:00.000Z-Mainpage_credit_for_FA_authors" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">17:44, 13 June 2010 (UTC)</a> <dl><dd>Your idea is a good one, but unlike pictures, articles will almost always have multiple authors. With a picture, you might have the original artist, plus someone restoring/touching up. With an article, you have the bulk of the text, but you have multiple copyeditors, spell-checkers, formatters etc. Every role is an important one, and brings on the question of how much work deserves credit. To me, it's too complex to be worth it. <a href="/wiki/User:Aiken_drum" title="User:Aiken drum">Aiken</a> <a href="/wiki/User_talk:Aiken_drum" title="User talk:Aiken drum">♫</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Main_Page/Archive_152#c-Aiken_drum-2010-06-13T17:50:00.000Z-Peter_Isotalo-2010-06-13T17:44:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">17:50, 13 June 2010 (UTC)</a></dd></dl> <dl><dd>Are you suggesting giving credit to the authors on the main page itself, or via talk page templates (as happens for DYK, ITN etc)?

That said, I haven't made any significant contributions myself, so it may not be my place to say.

It's clearly not something that makes people lose sight of contributing to Wikipedia, despite being institutionalized for most of Wikipedias existence. If we're to maintain double standards of this sort, there should be a better motivation than what I'm seeing here. Claiming that there's some sort of conflict between being given credit and being altruistic seems to me as a mere straw man, since it's perfectly obvious that featured picture contributions aren't exactly dying out or that photographers are only contributing for purely selfish reasons. The biggest problem I see in this is that public credit for one type of work is taken for granted and actively defended while it is flat-out denied for others.</dd> <dd><a href="/wiki/User:Peter_Isotalo" title="User:Peter Isotalo">Peter</a> <a href="/wiki/User_talk:Peter_Isotalo" title="User talk:Peter Isotalo">Isotalo</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Main_Page/Archive_152#c-Peter_Isotalo-2010-06-14T04:58:00.000Z-Jmh649-2010-06-13T20:37:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">04:58, 14 June 2010 (UTC)</a></dd></dl></dd></dl> <dl><dd><dl><dd><dl><dd>I don't object to the idea of dropping the credit from the featured picture section.

I get the impression that copyediting here is presented as almost equal co-authorship while someone who crops an image, the graphic equivalent of correcting grammar, is treated as a mere technician. But at the same time, those who touch-up old photographs or artworks are given credit on par with original authors. All of this adds up to make a very odd situation that receives complaints regularly. I don't mind that we insist on collective self-denial concerning credit, but we should do so equally, especially if we consider that image editors already are easily identifiable. The relative luxury of mainpage credit should be for everyone, not just for the select few based on some semi-grandfathered tradition. <a href="/wiki/User:Peter_Isotalo" title="User:Peter Isotalo">Peter</a> <a href="/wiki/User_talk:Peter_Isotalo" title="User talk:Peter Isotalo">Isotalo</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Main_Page/Archive_152#c-Peter_Isotalo-2010-06-21T09:28:00.000Z-Mainpage_credit_for_FA_authors" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">09:28, 21 June 2010 (UTC)</a> <dl><dd>I disagree that substanial correcting of grammar and spelling or other such substanial copyediting is equivalent to cropping an image.

Even if the article in question has left the Main Page, the root cause may still be worthy of discussion. Even if "Resolved" tags are called for, I'm concerned about the editorial summaries, due to the possibility that they may color (bias) interpretation of the discussion. I'm particularly concerned given the light tone with which the current summaries are being written. ("My sympathies to the two players involved" "WP:ITN/C love redheads." "Pizza-delivery MJ told to Beat it.")

The text was perfect with the Monobook theme, as it used the default browser's font size. It was OK to reduce the font in the left column or for the top tabs or in the page footer. But I really suggest that you revert this font size reduction for everyone. The solution of zooming in is not a solution as it also zooms other things than text (notably images), and all the side bars. Anyway, if you want to get readable texts with the Vector theme, add this in your vector.css file (the link is in your preferences): <pre>div#bodyContent{line-height:1.2;font-size:1em;} </pre> This will revert the very bad adjustments made in the default vector.css theme (which uses a line-height:1.5em, which does not work properly as line-height in 'em' are not inherited, and uses a font-size:0.8em that causes this very small text). Thanks for our eyes ! And thanks also for reading other scripts than Latin.

We've been in fairly slow period lately (about one story a day) and adding a link to ITNC might encourage more participation (plus, it should stop users from posting here about ITN). I realize some people assume new users would view ITN as a pure newsticker, but we don't know if this will happen unless we actually add the link.

That respondents would view the section as a news ticker isn't speculative; we already deal with that issue on a regular basis (and it isn't even entirely confined to "new" editors). Additionally, this proposal doesn't target the true bottleneck. The scarcity of updates stems not from a shortage of users to nominate items, but from a shortage of article updates/creations reflecting current/recent events. I would support the addition of a link to a newcomer-friendly page explaining the process (thereby alleviating the aforementioned confusion regarding the section's purpose, and then pointing readers to <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:In_the_news/Candidates" title="Wikipedia:In the news/Candidates">Wikipedia:In the news/Candidates</a>) and encouraging appropriate article contributions (thereby addressing the underlying problem instead of a symptom).

An explanatory newcomers-friendly page (perhaps <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:ITN" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:ITN">WP:ITN</a>, with a little updating) would be a better idea, but even then only as an experiment. As has been pointed out, the lack of nominations isn't a problem, it's the lack of updates. Having more nominations is not necessarily a good idea, since that will inevitably result in more suggestions which do not meet the criteria - we have enough of those as it is. And since the whole idea of the timer was to encourage 1-2 stories per day, having 'about one story per day' is pretty much bang on target.

I have no problem with that. He is not advocating stoning homosexuals, outlawing sodomy, or deleting articles on sexuality from wikipedia. His (?) point seems to be that the front page, to which people bookmark, shouldn't feature articles likely to raise problematic issues for children. Would we, for instance, have an article that says "Santa Claus isn't real" on the cover? Now I don't necessarily agree with him - but I understand his point. I believe that there was an article on the Mohammed Cartoon Controversy on the front page. That didn't bother me. I suppose the greatest question is, how do those of us who oppose early sexualization of children deal with the issue? I think that one very appropriate way is simply not to make a huge issue of in front of children. I can remember as a preteen my father cursing under his breath when stories about gay marches came on the news in the seventies.

This should all be able to be discussed civilly and with an assumption of good faith and without a moral chip on one's shoulder.<a href="/wiki/User:Medeis" title="User:Medeis">μηδείς</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Medeis" title="User talk:Medeis">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Main_Page/Archive_152#c-Medeis-2010-07-15T22:51:00.000Z-Acceptable_content_about_lesbian_author?" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">22:51, 15 July 2010 (UTC)</a> <dl><dd><a href="/wiki/Santa_Claus" title="Santa Claus">Santa Claus</a> is currently a good article.

But David Levy's comment above (What's "controversial" and "questionable" to one individual/culture is entirely innocuous to the next) is well taken. I'm not going to use the least-common-denominator approach suggested above by Zul because there are lots of people out there with out-of-the-mainstream beliefs and ideas, and this approach would exclude a surprisingly large number of otherwise excellent articles. To take this specific complaint, I don't think lesbianism is particularly offensive, and I think the vast majority of our readers would agree with me on that. I don't have a problem with educating young people about alternate lifestyles, although I admit that is a controversial issue and there are lots of people who think otherwise. <a rel="nofollow" class="external autonumber" href="http://www.boston.com/news/education/k_12/articles/2006/07/05/in_lexington_fear_surrounds_players_in_flap_over_gay_teachings/">[30]</a> <a rel="nofollow" class="external autonumber" href="http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSN2434298220070224">[31]</a> But this article isn't about teaching children about homosexuality - it's about one lesbian in particular, and I am not sympathetic to the desire to using "think of the children" in order to make otherwise innocuous things seem controversial. <a href="/wiki/User:Raul654" title="User:Raul654">Raul654</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Raul654" title="User talk:Raul654">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Main_Page/Archive_152#c-Raul654-2010-07-16T17:11:00.000Z-Acceptable_content_about_lesbian_author?" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">17:11, 16 July 2010 (UTC)</a> <dl><dd>There actually is an argument to be made that certain articles, like <a href="/wiki/Anal_sex" title="Anal sex">anal sex</a> would simply be inappropriate for the front page, not because they deal with a topic which is evil per se, but with one that is simply age-inappropriate for certain readers. Zul32 obviously thought that this was one of those articles. But by describing it as an article about a lesbian author and couching it in terms of his personal discomfort, rather than an article which introduces a theme (lesbian sexuality) possibly age-inappropriate for certain readers, he weakened his argument. I certainly would not expect, for example, an article on <a href="/wiki/Agnes_Moorehead" title="Agnes Moorehead">Agnes Moorehead</a> to be kept off the front page because she was a lesbian. But I certainly would expect there be some consideration before an article about the notoriously heterosexual <a href="/wiki/Ron_Jeremy" title="Ron Jeremy">Ron Jeremy</a> being placed there. The only really arguable issue is explicit sexuality, and Baron's case as a writer of erotica is a barely even a borderline one.

What a hoot. I wrote Bannon's article and to see any kind of protest about it about made my eyes pop out of my head. Primarily for the irony. So we have a woman who's been rigidly controlled by society for many decades, who finds out she's attracted to women, puts some of her theories in action, but stays married for 27 years because she was taught it's the thing women do, but she writes these book to get this energy out and express that part of her. All this happens in a period where gays get arrested for sitting on a bar stool and the fairly normal reaction to people finding out they're gay is suicide. And the only thing you can think of to impart a lesson here is "Don't look, Susie"? Why, apparently society has evolved far, far past the issues discussed in the article. Eh. Think of the children.

As interesting as this subject may be to some, it seems absurd to focus on this small slice of history. Even if it can be argued that it's of interest to British readers, there are too many articles that are up to featured-article quality to justify a bias like this. Isn't it the purpose of the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Today%27s_featured_article/requests" title="Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests">point system</a> to weed out related articles so close to each other?

I also would be interested in the number of Antarctic exploration articles in "Did You Know..." and "On This Day..." from 2008-2010.

Another of the articles, <a href="/wiki/Tom_Crean_(explorer)" title="Tom Crean (explorer)">Tom Crean</a> on 17 March 2010, was I think chosen not so much for Tom's renown as an explorer but because TFA wanted an Irishman for St Patrick's Day. The FA pool is a skewed population, in which many subjects are over-represented and others largely ignored. Raul has to choose from this pool, so some topics may seem to get undue attention at TFA while others get none at all. But I can't take seriously the suggestion that Raul is in some way biased in favour of British explorers, based on a selection rate of less than 1% (and falling) over the past couple of years.

The Signpost is already regarded, as far as I can tell, as invaluable and the article writers already get a byline, so I'm not sure what additional recognition you think it would get. While the Signpost writers do a great job, I imagine that directing readers who know nothing about the community to articles on WikiProject development and such would result in general bafflement. I'm not impressed by the claim that we need to cater to editors who claim to be fans of the Signpost but can't be bothered to subscribe, watchlist the Signpost page, or occasionally click on the Community Portal link (found on every page) to see if there's a new edition.

The Main Page is for providing readers with a jump-off point to various areas and articles of interest, not for boosting the egos of wikicrats (or "recognising the role they play" if you prefer). If you add one link to Signpost, it would open the floodgates; next someone would ask for a 'WikiProject of the Week' or an 'Editor of the Week', as I believe has been regularly proposed in the past; and the Wikipedia newspaper already has a permanent pride of place, there would no longer be any logical reason to deny them. --<a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/86.184.21.222" title="Special:Contributions/86.184.21.222">86.184.21.222</a> (<a href="/w/index.php?title=User_talk:86.184.21.222&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User talk:86.184.21.222 (page does not exist)">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Main_Page/Archive_152#c-86.184.21.222-2010-07-23T07:16:00.000Z-Candlewicke-2010-07-21T20:14:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">07:16, 23 July 2010 (UTC)</a></dd> <dd>Support bigger presence on community portal As has been stated above, the Main Page is not really aimed for editors, but for readers.

I'm neutral on <a href="/wiki/User:HJ_Mitchell" title="User:HJ Mitchell">HJ Mitchell</a>'s suggestion that it be put at the bottom of ITN - I think this might just have the same effect, in giving readers the impression that it perhaps is Wikipedia's document of the day's international news, which it isn't. I think the best place for it is the Community Portal. This is where I personally (and I imagine many other editors do the same) convene to find things that need doing. It is, really, the Main Page for Wikipedians - and this is where the Signpost should go. Whilst it is already there, there are a lot of editors who don't know about or forget to read (as stated above) the Signpost, and so having a bigger presence than the small box at the side would be the best way to go. <a href="/wiki/User:Wackywace" title="User:Wackywace">WackyWace</a> <a href="/wiki/User_talk:Wackywace" title="User talk:Wackywace">converse</a> | <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/Wackywace" title="Special:Contributions/Wackywace">contribs</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Main_Page/Archive_152#c-Wackywace-2010-07-23T18:57:00.000Z-Candlewicke-2010-07-21T20:14:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">18:57, 23 July 2010 (UTC)</a> <dl><dd>While I don't really understand what 'bigger presence' you want compared to the already fairly prominent transclusion at the top left of the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Community_portal" title="Wikipedia:Community portal">Wikipedia:Community portal</a> where it's rather big and seems rather hard to miss to me, wouldn't the place to discuss that be at <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Community_portal" title="Wikipedia talk:Community portal">Wikipedia talk:Community portal</a>? <a href="/wiki/User:Nil_Einne" title="User:Nil Einne">Nil Einne</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Nil_Einne" title="User talk:Nil Einne">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Main_Page/Archive_152#c-Nil_Einne-2010-07-24T00:29:00.000Z-Wackywace-2010-07-23T18:57:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">00:29, 24 July 2010 (UTC)</a></dd></dl></dd></dl> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="On_this_day" data-mw-thread-id="h-On_this_day-2010-07-19T04:02:00.000Z">On this day</h2><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1235781174"><div role="note" class="hmbox-outer resolved"><div class="hmbox-inner"><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/fb/Yes_check.svg/20px-Yes_check.svg.png" decoding="async" width="20" height="20" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/fb/Yes_check.svg/30px-Yes_check.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/fb/Yes_check.svg/40px-Yes_check.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="600" data-file-height="600"/> Resolved</div> – <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:ERRORS" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:ERRORS">WP:ERRORS</a> is the place to go. <a href="/wiki/User_talk:TFOWR" title="User talk:TFOWR">TFOWR</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Main_Page/Archive_152#c-TFOWR-2010-07-25T13:38:00.000Z-On_this_day" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">13:38, 25 July 2010 (UTC)</a></div> 1916 – World War I: Australian forces engaged the Germans at the Battle of Fromelles in France, described as "the worst 24 hours in Australia's entire history" since 5,533 Australian soldiers were eventually killed, wounded or taken prisoner in the failed operation.

There is an immediate problem with today's featured article (<a href="/wiki/No_Line_on_the_Horizon" title="No Line on the Horizon">No Line on the Horizon</a>) due to a vandalistic edit by an anonymous IP. As can be seen in <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=No_Line_on_the_Horizon&action=historysubmit&diff=376160113&oldid=376159938">this summary</a>, the IP removed a full section of the page and also some archived links in the references.

Now are 1/30 of all possible candidates for FA status video game articles? If so, then people are spending way too much time working on them, as no one will really give a crap about most of them in a few years. If not, then the people picking FAs are heavily tilted toward gamers. Either way, just saying you should quit complaining and help pick articles misses the point as it's clear you'll be overwhelmed with pro video game article editors, unless of course they realize that articles about video games are not really that important, compared to the large amount of other possible topics. We have over 2 million articles. If only 1% of them are FA quality, that's 20,000 possible featured articles, so that's not a small sample to pick from, and it's large enough that we certainly don't have to have a video game article every month.

I'll grant that the Pope is a pretty important guy, but other than him, I tend to think of religious figures as somewhat unimportant compared to scientists, politicians, explorers, etc. I'm very certain that people would disagree with me on that.

When you're selecting only for variety, it's a job that one dedicated person can do. Everybody reasonably well agrees what 'variety' means given the constraints of the available pool of featured articles. However, If you're selecting for "importance" of subject matter, no one will agree. Suddenly you need a group of people, you need debates, you need votes, you need rules, you need bureaucracy. I'm not sure if that would just be a tremendous waste of time for otherwise good editors, or if it would just be a giant magnet for every wingnut with an agenda to push, but either way it would be a step down from the current system in my opinion. <a href="/wiki/User:APL" title="User:APL">APL</a> (<a href="/w/index.php?title=User_talk:APL&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User talk:APL (page does not exist)">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Main_Page/Archive_152#c-APL-2010-07-26T08:29:00.000Z-Medeis-2010-07-26T06:06:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">08:29, 26 July 2010 (UTC)</a> <dl><dd>Those are what are called straw men and non-sequiturs, APL. First, I did not argue that that author should not be on the front page. I said that one could make an argument that articles which deal with sexuality per se shouldn't be made featured articles and that Zul32's argument shouldn't be shouted down. (It seems that perhaps I was giving Zul32 too much credit, in any case - And I am flattered if my arguments made a lasting impression on you.) As for video games, your objections are overblown. I didn't make an exclusive list of the only possible FA's, I provided a few examples of classics. Was my point unclear? Would it make sense for me to criticize you for the games you left out when you responded? And note well: your examples, Pokemon, Mario Brothers, and Star Craft, all fit the exact criterion I suggested; that a video game be twelve years old before it can be considered for the front page. Your example of the cricketer in the news is about a cricketer in the news, so you are just all over the place, aren't you? It is not necessary to throw the kitchen sink at every target. The argument is more subtle than simply whether we should or should not have articles about video games. The question is, are there no possible rational criteria involved in choosing which featured article goes on the front page? If there are no criteria, the we can simply do away with the FA editor, and simply queue up every featured article according to earliest date of creation.

You've stated above that you believe that a reasonable period between video game articles would be something like a year. If we switched to a first-come-first-served system, video games would appear FAR more often than that, and mildly more often than they currently do. Furthermore, without even the limited control provided by Raul654 in the order of appearance, clumps of articles on similar topics would begin to show up fairly quickly, and the problem would get worse as people figured out how to game the system by holding back nominations to occur all at once (as occasionally already happens in DYK), leading to "theme weeks".

It reflects on one side, that video games are a relatively unimportant topic among all the possible topics one could find on Wikipedia, and then it (your argument) draws the conclusion that "therefor video game articles should rarely if ever be on the front page."

Above, you made the case that video games should not be featured for several years after their release to determine whether or not they are ephemeral. This is a defensible position, if not one I agree with. However, if video games are placed under this condition, so must *all* articles be, since we also can't know if the latest "current event" article will remain relevant twelve years hence. Again, it's defensible (just about) to suggest that should, say, <a href="/wiki/2010_Northumbria_Police_manhunt" title="2010 Northumbria Police manhunt">2010 Northumbria Police manhunt</a> become featured, it not appear for several years in order to determine whether or not its effects have been lasting or ephemeral. However, when you extend your argument into declaring that due to their potentially ephemeral nature, articles on video games be deleted on sight until the twelfth anniversary of their release, the corollary is that we delete all articles on current events until twelve years after their passing. And I fail to see how the encyclopedia is improved if no-one can access information on events of current interest. <a href="/wiki/User:GeeJo" title="User:GeeJo">GeeJo</a> <a href="/wiki/User_talk:GeeJo" title="User talk:GeeJo">(t)</a>⁄<a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/GeeJo" title="Special:Contributions/GeeJo">(c)</a> • <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Main_Page/Archive_152#c-GeeJo-2010-07-26T23:32:00.000Z-GeeJo-2010-07-26T22:21:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">23:32, 26 July 2010 (UTC)</a></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl> <dl><dd><dl><dd><dl><dd><dl><dd><dl><dd>Explaining humor ruins it.

If every article that reaches FA status deserves to be on the front page - they are two different things, so far as I understand - then why do we need an editor?

Is he some sort of magical grand poobah, a pontifex maximus, the Queen opening parliament, or something? I have nowhere said that articles on video games can't be well written enough to make featured article status. I have not said that video games cannot be important enough to merit front page placement. It remains a fact that if too many articles on ephemeral video games making the front page lowers the property value, then there is a way to deal with it. Regardless of how many people shriek at the prospect, or how many people do not understand that an if then statement is not a categorical imperative.<a href="/wiki/User:Medeis" title="User:Medeis">μηδείς</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Medeis" title="User talk:Medeis">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Main_Page/Archive_152#c-Medeis-2010-07-29T03:30:00.000Z-Y2kcrazyjoker4-2010-07-29T01:41:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">03:30, 29 July 2010 (UTC)</a></dd></dl></dd></dl> <dl><dd><dl><dd><dl><dd>I think what people primarily object to is the antecedent in your if then.
