| | Wikipedia talk:Simple talk - Simple English Wikipedia |
 | | I would not call it questions because it is also for remarks, proposals, etc. Avoiding the usual metaphor, because a metaphor is not really simple, I like Simple talk; the only possible confusion is with Simple/Talk, when we have an article called Simple, but that is not so serious. |
 | | The problem with metaphors like "Village Pump" is that it was adequately metaphorically to the creator and those around him at that time (i.e., villagers gather around the pump to whatnot), but to most other people now, it's just a too poetic metaphor. |
 | | If the "simple English" wikipedia is to live up to its "simple" name then a good name for a "village pump" would be "The place for talking it over", or the "Talking_it_over" page, simple, descriptive, easily grasped (although somewhat plain, of course, but along the lines of BASIC English). |
