Talk page history

Is there a way for ordinary folk to see the substantive history of this talk page? It seems to have gone into the twilight zone after the article was renamed some time ago. Thincat (talk) 11:39, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Why so many Jewish-related featured articles?

There's a glut of them. Seriously, any Palestinian reading Misplaced Pages over a period of a few months would probably be offended.--Plastic Lament (talk) 12:15, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages attempts to avoid bias within any article but there is little mechanism for ensuring an overall balance across articles. In particular, recent events get vastly more coverage than events in previous times. You, and anyone else, are very welcome to contribute new articles of relevance and interest to Palestinians. See, for example, Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Palestine. Thincat (talk) 12:52, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Something tells me one would have a hard time getting an article about, say, a major Brooklyn mosque on the Misplaced Pages mainpage. BYT (talk) 13:13, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

I expect you are right although I have found Islam. Maybe this proves your point. I wonder whether more effort is put into Judaism-related articles or whether they suffer from rather less opposition? A bit of both I suppose. Thincat (talk) 13:27, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

I see nothing wrong with it. Misplaced Pages's featured articles aren't always balanced, and no one's saying "Judaism's great! Fie upon Palestine!" If Palestinians have a problem with the religion itself, well, they need to get a grip. Brutannica (talk) 13:33, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Offensive is not the article but the first comment. If you see a glut of Jewish-related featured articles on the main page, then it is probably you has a problem, because there is no glut (if you would you check the history of TFA you would see). Not to mention those Palestinians, who according to you, would be offended by a well-written article on a Jewish synagogue in Brooklyn. Oh, and btw Mosque has also been on the main page - and there are not many other Islam-related , actually none I could find with a quick glance. But what this dicussion proves is that there is opposition whenever there is Judaism-related article on the main page. Голубое сало/Blue Salo (talk) 16:42, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Wow

Jakie Chan was a much better featured article IMO
