== Problem with link ==


Link for ''Board of Trustees'' is incorrect. Unregistered users and readers see [[foundationsite:roles/board/|404]].

{{anchor|Urgent revision request}}
There should be a link to the press release on the Home page. [[User:Yann|Yann]] 11:46, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)


How can I report On a Wikipedia page that reports wrong things and protected. The facts is in Wikipedias, yet lies are there [[User:Meynachem&#39;s|Meynachem&#39;s]] ([[User talk:Meynachem&#39;s|talk]]) 17:55, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
I've increased the width the "about" part of the page occupies to 60% as it contains the most important content, and the amount "below the fold" needed to be reduced. I've also explained the Board on the main page - before that, there was just a single small link to the board page - easily missed. This also provides explanation for the list of board meetings that was already there!


:Hey @[[User:Meynachem's|Meynachem's]], which Wikipedia page are you talking about? Can you please link the page name here? –[[User:Tanbiruzzaman|Tanbiruzzaman]] ([[User talk:Tanbiruzzaman|talk]]) 17:59, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
The text for the board part is an abridged part of [[Board of trustees]] - the translations should already exist.

to be a pedantic Englishman not an American but "Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge.

: Yes, the strap-line has quite a few grammatical issues in British English; I've always belaboured under the impression that it's better (not illiterate) in American English. Here's a slightly more precise (and, possibly, accurate) form:

== "Sum of all knowledge" ==

As pointed out [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Foundation_wiki_feedback#Fact_.234:_.5B....5D_the_sum_of_all_knowledge. here], I think we should remove the claim of "sum of all knowledge" until the Wikipedias start getting their act together and stop deleting valid articles.

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.
