== Overlinking on the main page == |
|||
There are a lot of unnecessary wikilinks on the main page - [[Europe]], [[Africa]], [[World War I]], [[France]], [[Paris]], [[writer]]. They distract attention from the important links and they violate [[WP:OVERLINK]]. ("It is generally not appropriate to link ... terms whose meaning ... would be understood by almost all readers; items that would be familiar to most readers, such as the names of major geographic features and locations." [[User:Colonies Chris|Colonies Chris]] ([[User talk:Colonies Chris|talk]]) 12:45, 13 January 2009 (UTC) |
|||
:I believe this has been discussed before. But historically, there has been liberal use of linking on the Main Page. After all, it is the very first page most people first visit when the use Wikipedia, '''especially new users''', and it kind of like advertises to them all these great articles we have for them to read and edit. Also, the ''important'' links on those Main Page sections are always in '''bold'''. [[User:Zzyzx11|Zzyzx11]] [[User talk:Zzyzx11|(Talk)]] 12:57, 13 January 2009 (UTC) |
|||
::The Main Page and portals contain more links, as their role is to present the content of Wikipedia to readers. [[WP:OVERLINK]] applies to articles only. However, even in the TFA, the link to World War I is appropriate. <strong><span style="font-family:Monotype;">[[User:Cenarium|<font color="#000080">Cenarium</font>]][[User_talk:Cenarium|<font color="#000090"> (Talk)</font>]]</span></strong> 14:05, 13 January 2009 (UTC) |

Not an error, so not posting there. The current flag is slightly misleading, as it appears to be Hungary's (the item it refers to is now bottom of the pile). Can it usefully be replaced by [[:File:Alex K Kingdom of Hungary.svg]]? --[[User:Dweller|Dweller]] ([[User talk:Dweller|talk]]) 12:15, 14 January 2009 (UTC) |

== Correct this please == |
|||
DYK about [[1977 Moscow bombings]] must be corrected or removed ASAP, as the claim is based on a single Russian language unreliable source - please see my comment at this article talk page. Thanks.[[User:Biophys|Biophys]] ([[User talk:Biophys|talk]]) 01:05, 19 January 2009 (UTC) |
|||
:Please note that Biophys has removed sourced information from a source which is registered with the Russian mass media agency. He seems to be claiming it is unreliable because he has never heard of it...not a valid reason for removal, and most certainly not a reason for it to be pulled from DYK. --[[User:Russavia|Russavia]] <sup>[[User talk:Russavia|Dialogue]]</sup> 01:16, 19 January 2009 (UTC) |

::I placed this message for administrators. If they think that placing a poorly sourced claim at Main Page is fine, I do not care. Of course they can only judge if they know Russian and know what "Волжская Коммуна" is. An approximate translation: newspaper "''[[Commune (socialism)]] at [[Volga]]''". No one knows about such newspaper, even though it may exist.[[User:Biophys|Biophys]] ([[User talk:Biophys|talk]]) 01:30, 19 January 2009 (UTC) |
