::To the Wikipedia Editing Team
:I think any of those goals for the main page is fine, so long as someone who cares about design feels ownership of the page and takes an interest in its large-form structure. And revisits the design from time to time. (If there's noone who feels that way, then allowing some random walks through design space is better than stagnation.)

== Semi-protect ==
Considering that most of the work of the Wikimedia movement is done by volunteers, it would be good to state this fact more explicitly at the home. There is a [[Volunteer_opportunities|Volunteering]] link in the side bar and that's it. We probably don't need yet another block in the cluttered homepage, but I would expect short references in the mentions about "help" and "support". Currently they refer only to donations and job offers, when in fact the most basic way to help has always been to volunteer with your time and skills.--[[User:Qgil|Qgil]] ([[User talk:Qgil|talk]]) 19:00, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

Just saying. [[User:POSSUM chowg|POSSUM chowg]] ([[User talk:POSSUM chowg|talk]]) 23:42, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
* Removed {{tl|HomeLang}} for now: translations of [[Home]] are embarrassingly out-of-date (e.g., [https://wikimediafoundation.org/w/index.php?title=Etusivu&oldid=40741 this one] or [https://wikimediafoundation.org/w/index.php?title=Hjem&oldid=73422 this one], both of which mention reports that are outdated or show videos that are outdated).
* In [https://wikimediafoundation.org/w/index.php?title=Home&diff=88305&oldid=88304 this edit], I moved the [[vision]] statement to the bottom of the page. I think it's fine to include on the home page, but at this point in Wikimedia's life, I don't think we still need to be including it so prominently. It's fine as a footer, in my opinion. I also bumped up the font size of the intro paragraph and made some other very minor coding tweaks (syntax cleanup, mostly).
* I also inserted "[https://wikimediafoundation.org/w/index.php?title=Home&diff=88306&oldid=88305 educational]" into the intro text as I believe this is part of the scope of every Wikimedia wiki (Commons seems to place particular emphasis on content being educational), but that whole block of text could use some (grammar) love, if anyone would like to help.

For reference, [https://wikimediafoundation.org/w/index.php?title=Home&oldid=88306 this is the current version] being described below.
 
* Move a bunch of the strategic plan description text to its dedicated page ([[Wikimedia Movement Strategic Plan Summary]]); this content doesn't need to be on the home page any longer.
* Consolidate the following sections into a "Latest reports and releases from the Wikimedia Foundation" section:
** Strategic Plan
** Annual Report
** Annual Plan
** "Latest reports" index
** "Latest press releases"
* The five reports/releases sections mentioned will likely end up pointing to two different portals (or indices): [[Press releases]] and [[Reports]].
* Re-title the blog section "Latest news and views"
** Related issue is that the page currently claims the blog contains the "latest news and views from the Wikimedia Foundation", when many blog posts are specifically disavowed as being the Wikimedia Foundation's view, as I understand it. Best to not be so specific here, I think.
 
Please let me know if you have any comments, questions, concerns, etc. regarding these changes. I imagine the upcoming changes will happen in the next week or two, if there aren't any objections. I'm happy to use a sandbox to showcase/demonstrate some of these changes, but I'll only do so as necessary. If there's no other interest in this page, it doesn't make too much sense for me to focus effort on creating a demo when I can simply update the live page. :-) --[[User:MZMcBride|MZMcBride]] ([[User talk:MZMcBride|talk]]) 20:08, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
:Whatever you do, please keep a simple structure with most of the content being on the page itself rather than on templates or subpages, so that at some point we can easily switch to Translate extension translation. Thanks, [[User:Nemo_bis|Nemo]] 20:28, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
 
* Could we also hide the level-1 header ("Home"), to reduce the impression that our homepage is utterly amateur? [[User:AGK|AGK]] ([[User talk:AGK|talk]]) 11:00, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

Hey @Meynachem's, which Wikipedia page are you talking about? Can you please link the page name here? –Tanbiruzzaman (talk) 17:59, 24 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
To the Wikipedia Editing Team
I am writing to request an immediate revision of the Wikipedia article regarding the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital explosion in Gaza City on October 17, 2023. I have concerns about the current articles in Hebrew and Arabic, which present conflicting narratives. This has resulted in confusion and adversely affects Wikipedia's credibility.
Of utmost concern is the Arabic Wikipedia article, which presents a misleading narrative depicting the incident as an Israeli massacre, despite substantial evidence to the contrary. This misrepresentation not only perpetuates misinformation but also obstructs the pursuit of truth and reconciliation. Moreover, there is a real risk that such inaccuracies could incite violence against innocent individuals, a scenario that we all wish to avoid. Therefore, it is imperative to rectify these inaccuracies and provide a balanced and accurate account of the incident.
I propose the following actions to address this issue:
1. Conduct a thorough review of both the Hebrew and Arabic articles to correct inaccuracies and eliminate biases.
2. Ensure that all references are transparent, encompassing statements from the Israeli Defense Forces, American intelligence agencies, international media reports, and other reliable sources.
3. Commit to regular updates with the latest credible information to maintain the article's accuracy over time.
Wikipedia bears a significant responsibility for accurate and transparent reporting, especially in sensitive matters like this. I cannot emphasize enough the urgency of this situation.
