What is ''main'' about this page? Should it not be called the '''Front page''' or '''Cover page''' instead?--] (]) 00:37, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

== Ice on Mars presentation in front page ==

That's not strictly Main Page material but it is related to its presentation. First, it strikes me that it's slightly hard to find which is the main article of the sentence. Is it Mars or is it Phoenix. Since I've been using wikipedia for some time, it's obviously not Mars, that'd be an article on it. Perhaps it needs to be somehow more prominently shown. Secondly, shouldn't the main article about it be about a mission finding ice on Mars? It's an article about a craft. --] (]) 23:41, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
: For ITN, the link in boldface should be the "main" article. That's the "updated" wikipage, per ITN rules. If the bolded link doesn't lead to an article with details of the story highlighted on ITN, please consider posting a complaint at ] or ]. --] (]) 01:48, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

== Note ==

Hi, I meant to do this earlier, but was caught up with dealing with a load of other things. Anyway, I semi-protected this talk page due a sockpuppetry attack that spilled over from another article. This note is to inform people of that protection, and that since the protection is set to indefinite, any admin may choose to set the protection back to move=sysop after a few hours if they wish, though I do plan to lift my own protection of the page later anyway. Thanks. ] 22:41, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

== Today's Featured Picture ==

Not technically an arror, so I'm posting here. As of revision, the featured ''picture'' is a video. I'm not saying people are dumb and would think its a picture, but it somewhat implies that it ''always'' has to be a picture to be feautured. We could change the name to Today's Featured ''Media'' to include picture and picture. Just a comment. =) --] (]) 01:12, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
