[edit] Concerning bias on front page leads

Right now four of the leads have the {{VOA}} template on them. This should concern everyone.

VOA is fully funded by the United States Government. They are the personification of the administration's POV; I have looked at these stories and am not as confident as I would like to be that there is an active effort to question their content and what purpose is served in presenting the facts in this way. There is not yet a bot running to automatically import these articles yet so many are going up. Has someone set their home page to VOA? --Brian McNeil / talk 01:11, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

SOFIXIT. :P Cirt (talk) 01:17, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Most popular not updated - URGENT!

I think one or two people have noticed the most-popular article list isn't getting updated. Now it's 5 days stale. Is there anything we can substitute into this area of the main page until it gets going again? --Brian McNeil / talk 11:19, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Cute puppy

Hrm, perhaps a picture of a cute puppy? :P Cirt (talk) 11:23, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Oh look at the cute puppy. :) Its got my vote. On a serious note, we could replace it with the wikinews this time last year/3 years ago template. Bawolff 12:38, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Yes check.svg Done. changed to {{main historical}} Bawolff 12:58, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

For comparision, i have also created {{Main puppy}} based on Cirt's suggestion as an alternate to {{main historical}}. Bawolff 17:07, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
