Todays featured article

why does evolution suddenly segue into Jimi Hendrix?

And does "trait" really count as simple english?

Selected article

The article has been the same for many days already. Ought it be changed? Prime Contributer (talk) 12:18, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

The selected article is changed on a weekly (rather than daily) basis. · Tygrrr... 21:36, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Given that we only have about 8 VGAs...-.- TheWolf 21:58, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

What's VGA? Is it some kind of admin? If so, I'm sure that it's quite easy to have at least one admin online each day to change the featured article. Prime Contributer (talk) 08:24, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Very good article, or the Simple's version of Featured articles. As we only have eight of them, there's no point in featuring a daily one. Cassandra 23:27, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Redirects

Some wiki links under Knowledge Groups redirect to other wiki pages: Agriculture redirects to Farming; Cooking redirects to Cook; Movie|Movies and films redirects to Film; and Theater redirects to Theatre. I can't edit the Main Page, or I would change them. Thanks. - BigDaveB (talk) 22:42, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

That should be fixed. --  ✰AmericanEagle  02:31, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Selected Article

The selected article on "Proxy Server" is highlighted to be difficult to understand. Why is it selected? Is it a work of vandalisers? Prime Contributer (talk) 08:26, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

It can't be vandals is all I know. There is a fully protected page that transludes a copy of the selected article to the mainpage. -- Ryan†Cross (talk) 08:29, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Okay, but how can the "bad" article be explained? Prime Contributer (talk) 10:06, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

There is a rotation of about 10 articles (which are picked from the very good article list). This has list has not been updated; since then, procxy server has been demoted (to regular, I think). --Eptalon (talk) 23:43, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Actually the rotation uses 13 articles. As there are currently 13 on the VGA list, and only one was not in rotation, I just replaced Proxy server with Timpani. -- Creol(talk) 03:05, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
