Icons

The display of this page (content section) on IE8 is overlapping the icons on the left and the text that follows them, so some of the text is covered by the icons. • • • Peter (Southwood) (talk): 05:29, 2 October 2012 (UTC) make sure to love me — Preceding unsigned comment added by X x x baby x x x (talk • contribs) 05:43, 26 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestions

I've formatted this using the {{intro to}} template to keep formatting consistent and centrally controlled with the other Help:introduction to pages. I've a few suggestions for other updates and improvements:

  • Conduct is a bit wordy. Maybe there's a way to cut down wordcount by 20%?
  • Are the nutshells necessary for such short paves? Could they just be lead sentences?
  • Somehow "policies and guidelines" feels really dry and may reduce readers. Perhaps there are other main titles that are less intimidating like "Principles" or even "content and conduct" or something?

What do other people think? T.Shafee(Evo﹠Evo)talk 11:53, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV is not necessairly objective

Neutral point-of-view (or NPOV) means content is written objectively and without bias, merely presenting the facts and notable viewpoints of others.

WP:NPOV page avoids any use of the word objective. Actually, the only use is to respond to the misunderstanding where NPOV might be thought of as a state of objectivity.

Let's find a better way to present such an important part of future Wikipedians orientation to WP. Calexit (talk) 23:26, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Perera-Raj-utan

This rare species of Orang-utan is found only in a small area of Sri Lanka called Wanathawatte. Only one animal is discovered yet, in the Wanathawatte jungle by an officer who was on duty to catch mentally unstable people. According to scientists analytics, this species has an incredibly small brain with only about 0.0001% thinking capacity compared with a normal human's. Recent researches and explorations of the area in which Perera-Raj-utan was found led to the discovery of the clothes that this species wore. It was a really shocking discovery as scientists thought that Perera-Raj-utan had no brain power to think about wearing clothes. This species eat anything that it can find. This type is only capable of thinking about its own advantage. Even in its friends (if only he had friends) it will choose onuly the ones that he can use for his advantage. Once his needs are fulfilled, this guy removes or kicks out his so-called friends. Only these are the things that are discovered yet by scientists, but they believe that there are more dumb and lame things to be discovered about this dumbhead Dr.Leonov (talk) 04:59, 11 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
