Protest against biased history faking front-page snippet!

>1948 - The Marshall Plan, an economic recovery program established by U.S. Secretary of State George Marshall >to assist the post-World War II re-building of Europe, was signed into law.

This is very biased! The programme was intended to re-build ONLY western Europe (the self-declared "free world" part only), not the entire Europe. The soviet sphere of influence (USSR and eastern-european satellite states) were purposefully excluded by crafting humiliating conditions which were not acceptable considering that WWII destruction was at least 5x more severe east of the Elbe.

Therefore the above sentence is dishonest.!

With these kind of "America is always right" style worded articles there is no wonder that scholars consider traditional encyclopaedias more trusted. Those are done by researchers who are bound by the inherent honesty of scientific methodology. Here on the Internet the numerically superior anglo-saxon netpopulation rewords history to its own liking regardless of the truth. Regards, Tamas Feher from Hungary. 195.70.32.136 08:01, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Your whole rant is factually untrue, in particular, "The soviet sphere of influence (USSR and eastern-european satellite states) were purposefully excluded by crafting humiliating conditions which were not acceptable". As stated in the beginning of the article, "The reconstruction plan was developed at a meeting of the participating European states in July 1947. The Soviet Union and the states of Eastern Europe were invited, but Stalin saw the plan as a threat and did not allow the participation of any countries under Soviet control. " Oh, and those "humiliating" conditions (as described in teh article) were that indepedent assessment of the economic status of nations was required. In other words, the Western Nations were not going to take Soviet claims at face value. The write up is correct as-is. Raul654 08:14, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
Do you think in your rights mind that after Churchill's infamous threatening Fulton speech the USSR could with any dignity and sanity allowed the anglo-saxons to see every industrial resource it had, including the secrets of its military manufacturing capacity strenghts, to disclose all its economic weaknesses at a time of danger, when two japanese cities have been obliterated by A-bombs for no other aims but to intimidate the USSR?
Don't forget that the USSR was not a defeated country, but an unconquered and victorious party in the WWII, therefore it could not be expected to submit to the humiliating naked transparency conditions which were dictated for Germany and France, for example, countries which were soundly defeated and conquered during WWII and lost their independence. The USSR bore the blunt of the entire WWII, 60% or more, but what the russkies got from the eastern european satellite states was very little, because those countries themselves were ripped of most resources and industry by war destruction and retreating german and local nazi troops. For example in Hungary, my country, the only oil field we had, called Zala mezo", was already sucked dry by early 1945 to serve Wehrmacht needs, and all our factories and 100% of railway rolling stock ended up in Germany and never came back. There was about nothing left the USSR could take from us to fulfill its 300 million reparations bill as provided by the Paris peace accord. The Marshall plan was very biased and not worthy of the Nobel price, as it condemned the eastern and central european people to decades of great suffering in order to hurt the soviet bloc. 195.70.32.136 12:59, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
I am not sufficiently informed to have a real opinion on this debate, but it seems to me there would be no harm in changing the front-page blurb from "Europe" to "Western Europe". Whatever the initial aims of the plan, those were the countries that were mainly helped in practice. Redquark 15:27, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
"Western Europe" would be wrong, too. Sweden, Greece and Turkey will never be considered "Western European" no matter how you play with your map and compass. Yet they benefited from the Marshall Plan. -- 199.71.174.100 13:52, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
What are you talking about? Sweden is most definitely considered to be a Western European country.
Northern Europe, maybe. At the most Northwestern. Not Western. -- 199.71.174.100 22:22, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

"look TAMAS FEHER. is interesting to see your view from ex-east sphere country. You talk about humilliating conditions, and about the real intention of the marshall plan being to benefit only west sphere. Whats the news in that. INternational competition against the soviet sphere was sometheing ovious then and now. The real benefits of americans plan is being feel only nowadays by east-european countries, with their captation within the european union, which economic goodstanding is a consecuence of american effort, as eastern european countries possibility to join it is too. I hope you dont understand my words as vulgar proamerican ideology since it could have been exactly the other way round, if the USSR could have found a way for its economic and political problems for an international structure based on socialism. But its leaders were too obstinated, and its sphere countries had to wait the 1990s for political definition and the 2000s for economic. Leandro from Argentina.

The Marshall Plan WAS NOT intended only to rebuild western Europe. Unless Stalin played a role in creating the plan, which of course is highly improbable. However, Stalin did play a role in carrying out the plan, as he viewed the plan as a ploy to trick the Soviet Union into conforming to capitalism. Stalin would not allow the plan to apply to his iron curtain-protected European countries, as the plan was the ultimate form of international capitalism. This my friends is why western Europe recovered from the aftermath of WWII much more quickly than eastern Europe. This plan helped to bring people left in poverty by the war back to a level of economic feasability. As for what the second anti-Marshall commentator said on this strain, it is his "must find something wrong with an American accomplishment" ideology that is the true source of bias. It is shameful to misconstrue the Cold War status of eastern Europe as America's fault. How easily we forget the tanks poised on the Soviet side of the Berlin wall, preventing any access to help the impovershed people in eastern Europe, or the Berlin arilift, or the countless other humanitarian efforts of the United States to aid eastern Europe. How can the United States be blamed for Stalin's evil, yes evil, desire to spread his Communist sphere of influence by keeping nations in poverty? Perhaps the flaw lies in his ideology, or in Communism as a whole (ps- if I hear another anti-western, uninformed person hate on the US for using the atomic bomb to end the fascist campaign of Japan, I may vomit). Conclusivly, Stalin was wrong, Marshall was right, the text in the article is accurate. It appears all of Stalin's propaganda still lingers in eastern Europe.

Underlined links

Why have all the clickable words become underlined?`It is very annoying I think!

Cyrruss 08:50, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

  • It's been like that since the beginning of time. Harro5 09:03, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
Has it? When I first started using wikipedia they were underlined, but for the vast majority of the time the wikilinks aren't underlined at all.  -- Run!  14:15, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
It seems to vary day by day; it's some kind of quirk with Wikipedia's web code. It'll go back to not-underlined soon. Redquark 15:59, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
For me, it's underlined when I log in, but not underlined when I'm logged off. Ocasionally, I will log on and it will remain not-underlined but since I'm so used to it being underlined I just log off, close the browser, occasionally clear all my history, and then restart the browser... that always gets it back to being underline while logged on. I guess I'm the oddball here, but I prefer it underlined (I'm just used to it is all). -- SmthManly / ManlyTalk / ManlyContribs 17:49, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

You should be able to set whether underlines are displayed in your preferences on the 'Misc' page. --CBDunkerson 01:22, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

I don't see why they wouldn't be underlined. It's like that on the rest of the Web... Dragon Expert 15:44, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Operation Epsilon

ten German nuclear scientists were detained and secretly microphoned at a house in England

How does one "microphone" someone? Were these scientists secretly struck about the head with a large foam-covered microphone? "Microphone" is a noun not a verb... and I doubt it can even exist as "microphoned". Thankfully the above text does not appear to be present in the body of the article... it is surprising to see it on the main page.

I've changed: "secretly microphoned" -> "wiretapped". - UtherSRG (talk) 11:08, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
One of the current features of the English language is that you can verb any noun, as in she birthed the baby. I first noted this tendency about 1990. Oh, wait, I just remembered the phrase married and babied, about 1975-80. --Ancheta Wis 01:41, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
The NFL (National Football League) uses the term "Mic'ed up" to refer to a player or coach wearing a microphone during a (American Football, not Soccer) football game. So, there is precedence for the use of a form of "microphone" as a verb. In our (American English) vernacular any noun can be verbed as this editor and a previous just did to "verb". As for Secretly "Microphoning" someone, we might say "Bugged" instead. (This editor knows nothing of the Operation Epsilon topic, but stumbled upon this Talk Page.

--TecBrat 22:56, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

I believe wiretap would apply to something like telephone. Perhaps secretly recorded using hidden microphones would be the most faithful representation of the truth, if they were in fact microphoned. --129.15.169.147 20:53, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Picture

Something which has been bugging me ever since I've first seen the main page: isnt it possible to list the article with the picture next to the picture. Its mighty confusing, even for regular users (I still find myself occasionally surprised, and then remind myself of the fact that its not necessarily adjacent). The fact that its a recurring complaint by anons (meaning simple readers) means that its confusing to a larger audience as well.

Should be hard to implement methinks?

Cheers, The Minister of War (Peace) 11:07, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

You mean the "In the news" and "On this day" sections? I agree. Carcharoth 12:52, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

New England Patriots at TFA?

Why is today's featured article "The New England Patriots," when today is:

1) Opening Day for most of Major League Baseball's 30 teams; and 2) The day that the NCAA Division 1 Men's Basketball Championship will be decided.

I am a diehard Patriots fan, but this seems kind of silly, especially since the Patriots did not even play in the most recent Super Bowl. I would rather have seen the Boston Red Sox as today's feature, or maybe even the Boston Marathon, which will be run two weeks from today on April 17.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.204.134.1 (talkcontribs)

The daily featured articles are normally not chosen to reflect specific dates or events and the fact that the Patriots were featured today is almost certainly a coincidence. The date an article is chosen to be featured is either requested by a user, or chosen randomly by our Featured Article director a few days before the actual date. Usually, the only deciding factor other than a request by a user is how many days have passed since this specific category (in this case, Sports) has been featured as long as a related topic isn't already on the mainpage (such as Flag of Mexico being featured on the day Mexico holds national elections); exceptions may occur. Also, featured articles must meet a certain quality and standard before they can be called featured and thus be eligible to become today's featured article. Neither Boston Red Sox nor the Boston Marathon has yet achieved this title, so they can not be featured on the main page until they do. They only baseball related featured article is baseball itself, and this article has been previously featured (and thus cannot be featured again for some time); even so, featuring a baseball related article would probably coincide with baseball being in the news or a big topic and thus violates the previous policy. That's basically the gist of it, though there are many other variables involved I'm sure. -- SmthManly / ManlyTalk / ManlyContribs 15:35, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
Can someone get a better picture of the Patriots? The current one may look good in normal size but when smaller it looks like a bunch of world leaders meeting for some economic summit somewhere (Davos?). --One Salient Oversight 00:24, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Bolding

I feel that the bolding of the title and slogan looks very childish and over-the-top. It looks a bit like a persons first go at programming HTML, using all of the ways of formatting text as he can. What do other people think? --Celestianpower háblame 14:34, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Personally, I think the same applies to the italics as well. With the links in those lines, it looks very messy indeed. Sam Korn (smoddy) 14:38, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
Yes, sorry. I forgot to remove those when I was editing. --Celestianpower háblame 15:18, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
I agree that the text looks better (and more professional) without the bolding, and the italicized second line was even worse. ("Welcome to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit." is one sentence, so it's illogical to use inconsistent styling.) —David Levy 15:42, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
Personally, I liked the bolding. It made the title stand out more. -EdGl 20:38, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Grammar error at DYK

"that the Autumn of Nations, which begun in Poland, marked the end of the Cold War?" - Kind of anal, but it should read "began" rather than "begun" -Elmer Clark 22:05, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Fixed. —David Levy 22:56, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Grammar error (a different one) at TFA

The first sentence of today's featured article has incorrect grammar. It reads "The history of Limerick, the third largest city in the Republic of Ireland and a major cultural and industrial centre, stretches back to its establishment by the Vikings as a walled city on "King's Island" (an island in the River Shannon) in 812, and received its charter in 1197." Stripping out adjectives, appositives, and such this becomes "The history of Limerick stretches back to its establishment and received its charter in 1197." The easiest fix would be just to remove the word "received," though that's still sylistically sub-par. LWizard @ 00:52, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Fixed, thanks. —Spangineeres (háblame) 02:29, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Zacarias Moussaoui In the News

The In the News section states:

"A jury finds Zacarias Moussaoui (pictured) guilty for the deaths in the September 11 attacks. Moussaoui's trial now enters the death penalty phase, where he may be sentenced to execution."

That seems like quite an exaggeration. It sounds as though Moussaoui is responsible for the deaths of all those who were killed on 9|11. In addition, the part about the death penalty phase to me sounds a bit redundant. Clearly, the death penalty phase involves execution. Perhaps it would be more accurate and concise to say...

"A jury finds Zacarias Moussaoui (pictured) partially liable for the deaths in the September 11 attacks, making him eligible for the death penalty."

joturner 02:29, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

No, the original is more clear because it includes important procedural phases of the verdict process that the later, more summed-up version leaves out. However, I'll submit that the original is a little unclear. It should read: "A jury finds Zacarias Moussaoui (pictured) guilty in conspiracy to murder those killed in the September 11th 2001 terrorist attacks. The trial now moves into the death penalty phase, where the jury will decide first whether Moussaoui is eligible for the death penalty, and if so, whether that will be his sentence."

CMOH at DYK

An article in the DYK section mentions "Congressional Medal of Honor", but in the CMOH article, it says that this is actually incorrect.

In the news, On this day and Did you know - pictures

Further to people's complaints above regarding how it is confusing at first as to which article belongs to the picture; There is a little (pictured) caption in the text so it's not a huge issue but how about somethig like this?.. (Rough mockup, it might look stupid in your browser)

In the news
  • The 39th Canadian Parliament begins in Ottawa, with the newly-elected government of Stephen Harper commanding a minority in the House of Commons.
  • Zacarias Moussaoui
  • A jury finds Zacarias Moussaoui (pictured) liable for the deaths in the September 11 attacks. Moussaoui's trial now enters the penalty phase, where he may be sentenced to execution.

    Sounds good to me – it won't make much of a difference to the page, but if people find the current arrangement confusing, it ought to be changed – Gurch 12:09, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
    Personally, I'd still prefer just putting the pictured news on top. Seems like the easiest solution to me..
    Still, I like your suggestion. Two questions though. Can the border on the pic be a bit larger? It took me a while to actually notice it. second, mort importantly, doesnt this makeup get messy once the news item moves more towards the bottom? The Minister of War (Peace) 13:40, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
    This is just a QaD mockup in wiki:table markup, I imagine that the CSS for the front page could include a special element for the appropriate box somehow. So yes the border can be any thickness (I couldn't work it out in wiki markup though). It would get separated from the picture if it slid down yes. But if it were the only highlighted entry the viewer's eyes would be drawn to it more quickly than the obscured (pictured) tag. --Monotonehell 14:41, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

    What's wrong with using ALT on the image ? Just move the mouse over and the text would pop on screen. So easy.... --199.71.174.100 15:57, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

    I'm guessing you mean the title html tag? It doesn't show up in all browsers and the current IE doesn't handle it correctly. Also this would require the user to move the mouse over the picture. The issue here is not the picture but which text goes with it. We could always put a caption under the picture but I was thinking that an obvious visual clue would be better. --Monotonehell 18:56, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
    The "title" html tag is for anchors (a href), the "alt" html tag is alternate text for images. ;-) -Quiddity 21:22, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
    No, not quite right. ;) "alt" contains the ALTernate text description for an image. To be displayed if the image is not, to aid people reading the page in text only browsers or for accesibility issues (for the vision impared) or to provide information about the image for indexing engines etcetera. "title" is a HTML core standard attribute for any entity that defines what text should be displayed in a tooltip.
    The whole issue was complicated by IE displaying the alt text instead of the title text in its tooltips. --Monotonehell 09:08, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
    I'd still support some changes to show the link between text and picture more prominently. Is this one of those things that everybody is going to agree on, but gets archived without ever being implemented? The Minister of War (Peace) 09:06, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

    Esperanto Wikipedia issue on surnames

    Recently, Esperanto Wikipedia decided to not uppercase anymore the surnames in people articles (e.g.: John LENNON). Please feel free to check if interwiki links to Esperanto Wikipedia are working good, since the most of the aforementioned pages are being moved to new title articles (e.g.: John Lennon).

    This isn't Main Page related, it should probably be posted on the Village Pump. If you think about it, it makes more sense to go through the Esperanto Wikipedia's 40,000 articles for cognates in the English Wikipedia, because nearly 100% of your 40,000 articles will have them, whereas fewer than 4% of articles here will have Esperanto Wikipedia cognates.

    Vertical alignment of text in POTD

    It seems that the picture of the day's text is aligned to the vertical middle of its container. This seems to be illogical, and, most importantly, inconsistent with the rest of the main page's design. I'm not exactly sure how the templates work, but would it be a good idea to have the text content of that table or div align to the top rather than to the middle?
