== popularity contest ==
 
+

 
+
This has become a popularity contest. It's not about good images, not even about images at all. This page, as far as i'm concerned has lost all credibility. [[User:Kleuske|Kleuske]] ([[User talk:Kleuske|talk]]) 14:06, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

== POTD caption January 16 2013 ==
 
+

 
+
This church is called "Igreja de Santo Ildefonso" in portuguese. Please note that it is "Santo" and not "San" ("San" is a spanish word and not a portuguese one). So, the proper caption should either read "Igreja de Santo Ildefonso" (http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Igreja_de_Santo_Ildefonso) or "Church of Saint Ildefonso" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_Saint_Ildefonso), and not "San Ildefonso church".

Hi! Can anyone upload a picture of actress Sarah Peachez? I am making an article on her and I need a picture asap! Thanks a lot!

:This page is to discuss improvements to the main page itself, and its content. Please see the [[COM:Help desk|help desk]] for further information.

== POTY picture as picture of the day ==
 
+

 
+
Is it really fair to have one of the current POTY finalists given extra prominence as today's main page picture? Or will they all have their turn before voting finishes?  An [[User:Optimist on the run|'''optimist''']] on the [[User Talk:Optimist on the run|''run!'']] 07:49, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

:Quite unfair. There are only 6 days left now for voting. All images cant be displayed in 6 days. §§[[User:Dharmadhyaksha|Dharmadhyaksha]]§§ {[[User talk:Dharmadhyaksha|T]]/[[Special:Contributions/Dharmadhyaksha|C]]} 10:47, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
 
+
::I've just noticed this. Indeed, I think this is inappropriate. Although I like the picture very much and have voted for it as POTY in Round 1 myself, I think it should now be disqualified from the contest. It's too late to change the picture of the day now, I think... [[User:Gestumblindi|Gestumblindi]] ([[User talk:Gestumblindi|talk]]) 20:43, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
 
+
*We do not plan on disqualifying this image from Round 2 of the competition. There was no indication that this image was in the POTY contest and voting is not possible from the image's description page. Many POTY voters may have never seen the main page, but it is impossible to gauge the impact it had if any and it would be unfair to disqualify a fairly-chosen image that received popular support. All the POTY images were presented in random order as well. We regret that this occurred and will make sure to address any problems with the POTD organizers in the future.

== Red link. ==
 
+

 
+
Someone should remove that red link to that journals page. Red links on the main page do 4 things. They bug people. They bug me. They confuse people who are not familiar with red links. They make us look bad. [[User:Scientific Alan 2|Scientific Alan 2]] ([[User talk:Scientific Alan 2|talk]]) 01:12, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

+
: {{done}}, replaced with [[:Category:Media from scholarly journals]] and recreated [[:Category:Images from journals]] as a category redirect, so that all language versions of the Main Page have a blue link there. --[[User:Mormegil|Mormegil]] ([[User talk:Mormegil|talk]]) 18:57, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Hi, can someone please remove the period from the POTD caption? It is redundant (see [[:en:Wikipedia:Captions]]). Thanks. --[[User:Eleassar|Eleassar]] ^{[[User talk:Eleassar|(t/p)]]} 11:29, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
