[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)
I agree with Brian, this has been a concern of mine for quite some time Soapy (talk) 01:50, 20 November 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)
Puppies made the main page for an hour --ShakataGaNai ^_^ 01:59, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

Today an article from yesterdas appears: Israel announces settlement expansion plans, all sources from 17th, but the news is from "today" = 17th ? That's ‎the wrong time - today it is 18th. We had a similar problem in the German version with updating. --House1630 (talk) 18:15, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Two news

Today two news with the same picture seem very similar:

One is an interview with original reporting. Cirt (talk) 22:57, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
I'm failing to see how us producing so much news that we have 2 similar articles, is a problem? This is a good thing! --ShakataGaNai ^_^ 22:59, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
Agreed. Cirt (talk) 23:00, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
Today? One is from yesterday. Similar? Obviously you didn't read them. One announces the case, the following day the follow-up goes in-depth into the legal questions. Seriously... You said yourself that you did it by looking at the picture. Well done, they're about the same crash. Congratulations on working it out.
