Quick Online Tips: Wikipedia Today's Featured Article Former Featured Articles page lists articles that used to be Featured Articles, but were demoted because they no longer met the Featured Article standard and were demoted through a consensus derived from a vote at the Featured article removal candidates page. See Tomorrow's featured article for a last chance to comment on what featured article will be displayed tomorrow, and in the future. To nominate an article to be put on this page, add it to the list at Featured article candidates, where it will be reviewed for style, prose, completeness, accuracy and neutrality. pchere.blogspot.com /2005/10/wikipedia-todays-featured-article.html   (289 words)

On The Wikipedia & Collaborative Editing There is also a link to Wikinews, a news source which combines other news sources to produce single articles from a neutral point of view. One thing is that it is always nice to see something featured that I am actively interested in - such as when they featured the character of Link from "The Legend of Zelda" series of games that have been available for almost every game system made by Nintendo. It is of course possible for someone to come along and write that Will Ferrell is in fact the inventor of Parcheesi I will address this point later in the article. goinside.com /05/6/wikipedia.html   (1073 words)

rydel23: LINK: My Wikipedia News When there is such a large community, and there are people with conflicting views and pre-set agendas, the productivity becomes very low, as people spend more time arguing with each other, rather than writing new articles. Also I think that today's featured article Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth is written from a totally Polish perspective, and should be rewritten to include more information about Litvin (Belarusan-Lithuanian) part of the Commonwealth. For example, over the weekend I engaged in an edit "reversal war" with some Russians who attempted to insert all kind of Russian imperial propaganda into some articles ( Belarus, Belarusian language, Ruthenian language, Old Belarusian language). www.livejournal.com /users/rydel23/352888.html   (1073 words)

Dictionary of Meaning www.mauspfeil.net I have restored several comments and votes in the :Featured article candidates/Anne Frank Anne Frank FAC nomination, that you deleted ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title= :Featured_article_candidates/Anne_Frank&diff=10023955&oldid=10022662 see diff]). I've been doing articles about in the press for a few weeks now on the Signpost, so it would be quite easy to keep track of the major coverage worth including in a quarterly. I'd hope that the four articles to which I gave two stars will be at least serious contenders, and the ones to which I gave no stars will not get top ranking, but if there is, say, one exception in either direction I won't scream. www.mauspfeil.net /sj.html   (10391 words)

Wikipedia - infoAnarchy Wiki The project has received large numbers of participants from being mentioned, three times, on the tech website Slashdot--there were two minor mentions March 5 and March 30, and then a prominent feature (also featured on the community-edit tech website Kuro5hin) on July 26. The aim is not to write articles from a single objective point of view--this is a common misunderstanding of the policy--but rather, to fairly and sympathetically present all views on an issue. The project is also essentially and self-consciously a wiki--which allows for general public authorship and editing of any page. www.infoanarchy.org /wiki/wiki.pl?Wikipedia   (1325 words)

The aim is not to write articles from a single objective point of view--this is a common misunderstanding of the policy--but rather, to fairly and sympathetically present all views on an issue. The most widely-supported rule is: "If rules make you nervous and depressed, and not desirous of participating in the wiki, then ignore them entirely and go about your business."

EvoWiki:Featured articles - EvoWiki "Featured article" is a working title that I have borrowed from wikipedia, who have a similar system, but this is open to suggestions. Part of the proposed new front page will be a link and brief summary of a "featured encyclopedia article": an article we consider to be comprehensive, factually accurate and representative of what we'd like all our encyclopedia articles to be. Also, if the article is over 30kb any specified sections should, if possible, be moved onto sub-pages and the main article can be a summary. www.evowiki.org /index.php/EvoWiki:Featured_articles   (435 words)

History of Wikipedia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia At that time, selection was informal; the Featured Articles Candidacy process was not to be instituted for several years yet. In an Interview with a CNN reporter, the reporter also expressed concern about her own biography which she said portrayed her as she did not wish to be portrayed. The third block began on October 19, 2005, and once again there is no indication as to whether this block is temporary or permanent, or what the reasons or causes for this block are. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/History_of_Wikipedia   (3071 words)

Firefox on the Wikipedia Spread Firefox Featured articles are featured on the main page, so it could be a great boon for Firefox if it is accepted.

Talk:Space Opera in Scientology - Uncyclopedia I dunno what it is, mainly because I have enough creativity to make original articles. Yes, this is a direct copy from wikipedia.

Wikipedia:WikiProject History of Poland/Articles - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia After the articles are ready they will be integrated with the existing articles and moved to the main wikipedia namespace.

WikiTrivia - Meta Trivia lists and topics (aka lists important to some people and not important to other, as mav puts it) deserve their own space, and the wikipedia deserves to be free of them. I agree with lists (I made List of Roman laws and worked in List of Roman legions with Stan, for instance), but some are hilarious and take credibility from the wikipedia. But lists and other almanac-like articles by themselves are very necessary; such as en:List of elements by name or en:List of countries by population. meta.wikimedia.org /wiki/WikiTrivia   (2504 words)

Biocrawler talk:Nooks and corners of Wikipedia that should be frequented - Biocrawler definition:Biocrawler talk:Nooks and corners of Wikipedia that should be frequented - Biocrawler Because this page is so poorly updated, other than by the VFD Bot, I'm proposing to merge it with Biocrawler:Goings-on, where things like collaborations and new featured articles/pictures are maintained, because that page is kept more current. I don't think it should be deleted; there need to be pages for the wikipedia community like this -- just look how the PCUSA page has improved to to its listing here. I discovered this page when I found my name linked to it when I was a RFA candidate and since then I've tried to keep that section up to date. www.biocrawler.com /biowiki/Biocrawler_talk:Nooks_and_corners_of_Wikipedia_that_should_be_frequented   (727 words)

Wikipedia talk: WikiProject Countering systemic bias - Open Encyclopedia Open Encyclopedia is an free extensive encyclopedia service provided by the New Frontier Information Network, a newly launched private company which offers easy access to thousands of online articles, e-books and documentation covering a wide variety of broad topics. As a matter of interest, perhaps, the H.D. article was on the open tasks a while back and is now a featured article. Breaking up the "developing world" article seems like good sense to me. Simply listing every possible topic relating to the developing world under the same heading is disorganized. talk.open-encyclopedia.com /WikiProject_Countering_systemic_bias_oew   (727 words)

[Wikipedia-l] Language policy agreement in the Norwegian Wikipedia community This being said, we are all for extensive co- operation between the four Scandinavian language wikipedias (including Swedish and Danish), as evident by the recent creation of [[:meta:Skanwiki]], the Scandinavian meta-pages, and the use of featured articles from neighbour wikipedias. Finally, we will mention an unfortunate reaction to the vote by a small number of users at the Norwegian Bokmål/Riksmål (no:) wikipedia who want to disregard the result of the voting and are planning to create a _third_ Norwegian wikipedia with the sole mission of mixing the contents of the two current Norwegian versions. This e-mail intends to, after a brief recap on Norwegian language and wikipedia issues, take those interested through the latest development and will stake out the road ahead. mail.wikimedia.org /pipermail/wikipedia-l/2005-April/039250.html   (727 words)

Wikipedia talk:Featured list candidates - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I admit that I'm less opposed to the list of lists of math topics than I am to the religious topics one, because it seems to me that it would be less controversial and easier to control, because new articles would tend to fit nicely into what already exists. Oh dear - perhaps we should rename this "Featured cricket list candidates"... List of Popes, List of British monarchs, List of Presidents of the United States are all likely to be fine, though. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Featured_list_candidates   (8830 words)
