Can we get a better caption than "two people gaze out. . ."? That would be fine were it true, but if you actually look at the picture you'll see it has at least three people, though none of them actually seem to be gazing out. Perhaps change it something like "sunlight shines down on. . ." [[User:LizardWizard|<sup>L</sup><sub>W</sub><font size="3">izard</font>]] [[User_talk:LizardWizard|@]] 00:34, 8 February 2007 (UTC) |

:He/she's right - get the October 30 version of the picture from its history, and click it to enlarge it further. I'm making the suggested change. [[User:Art LaPella|Art LaPella]] 00:54, 8 February 2007 (UTC) |

Errors in Today's featured article
Errors in In the news
- Suggested change in picture Indianapolis Colts defeat the Chicago Bears article on the game:
The Picture thumbnail is misleading and looks more like a burnt electronic chip than the dolphin stadium. Maybe a nut with a Google earth addiction is responsible for it. Kindly consider replacing it with a better view of the stadium. browngirl06 12:20 IST, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
- Do you happen to have one to hand that you'd be willing to release under a free-content licence? GeeJo (t)⁄(c) • 13:34, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
Errors in Selected anniversaries/On this day
Not an error, but quite a confusing presentation IMHO:
- 1984 - NASA astronaut Bruce McCandless II (pictured in spacesuit) performed the first untethered spacewalk using a Manned Maneuvering Unit
I believe, that Manned Maneuvering Unit should be in bold here, not the spacewalk, because the first ever spacewalk was performed by Aleksei Leonov.
Errors in Did you know...
The assertion "...that the Krazy Kat cartoons printed in the San Francisco Examiner prompted a serious physical assault on author Agnes Newton Keith?" appears unsubstantiated in both the Krazy Kat and Agnes Keith Newton articles themselves, and is sufficiently bizzare as to raise suspicion of (inspired) vandalism 40.0.96.1 14:20, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
The Look at me! popup text of the picture of Osu Castle seems to be vandalism.--212.30.154.155 18:38, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
Errors in Picture of the Day/Today's featured picture
Can we get a better caption than "two people gaze out. . ."? That would be fine were it true, but if you actually look at the picture you'll see it has at least three people, though none of them actually seem to be gazing out. Perhaps change it something like "sunlight shines down on. . ." LWizard @ 00:34, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
- He/she's right - get the October 30 version of the picture from its history, and click it to enlarge it further. I'm making the suggested change. Art LaPella 00:54, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
Follow-up and old items
This holding area is for items that require further follow-up (for example, a general point that needs to be raised elsewhere), or for items that haven't been dealt with but where the topic under discussion is no longer on the Main Page. The items listed here should eventually be moved to a suitable location elsewhere, such as:
- Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article
- Template talk:In the news
- Wikipedia talk:Did you know
- Wikipedia talk:Selected anniversaries
- Wikipedia talk:Picture of the day
Look at the index finger and the hook of the cane on the left of the man, this shows he is walking away from the camera. The hook of cane is posterior and the index finger of the man is wrapped around the top.
Any other problems
Please report other problems on Talk:Main Page.
