Hello Sayed Shahab Haider Politician (talk) 11:26, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
Can those who post stop repeatedly posting "Hello" and state your question? It creates unnecessary clutter. Dh.wp (talk) 15:55, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
It could be like the one on En wiki, except in simple. I would say leave out the politics though; no need for that here. Derpdart56 (talk) 03:17, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
What if you just give the bot access to online news and get it to copy it down on the “In The News” widget? Stupstup (talk) 01:31, 11 January 2021 (UTC) Then user could edit it and make it simple? Stupstup (talk) 01:32, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

Hello from Cyprus to everyone - everywhere!! I’m Pari and this is my first attempt with Wikipedia as an author for a subject I’ve been researching for years now! I decided to share my research with the world so I want to publish it WHEN IS 100% FINISHED/EDITED but.....
I have just created an account and I began the transferring from my real writing on a paper, by Typing from the beginning everything a I have on my Real Paper written Research. I’m still on the 1st page. And this is my exact problem!! What I am writing is not even close to Finishing inside Wikipedia or in any other Application for writers like for example Microsoft WORD or so so many other Apps that exist out there!
Therefore since it is NOT EITHER CLIAE TO BEING READY FOR PUBLISHING IN WIKIPEDIA ( or anywhere else for that matter ), HOW CAN I JUST SAVE WHAT I DID SO FAR?? The only thing I see is a Blue Button saying PUBLISH and I can’t see anything or anywhere like a SAVE Button!! First of all, is there a SAVE Button or I have no choice other than to PUBLISH for the eyes of everyone, of what I wrote so far in the 1st Unfinished Page of my Subject??
Maybe it is supposed to be like this? Is Wikipedia an Application that has NOTHING SIMILAR TO DO WITH Microsoft WORD?? Is Wikipedia an Application that you simply POST ANYTHING THAT IS READY TO BE READ BY OTHERS? So my question is very simple and I am sure that someone from all of you will know the answer.
HOW CAN I JUST SAVE AS A FILE IN WIKIPEDIA, SOMETHING THAT I HAVE WRITTEN BUT IS BY NO CHANCE EVEN CLOSE TO PUBLISHING YET?
SINCE IT NEEDS A LOT OF WRITING AND EDITING before I can officially Publish it, WHAT CAN I DO FROM NOW ON - SINCE I VE HIT THE PUBLISH BUTTON THINKING THAT IT WOULD ASK ME IF I REALLY WAS READY TO PUBLISH OR IF I JUST WANTED TO SAVE MY FILE FOR NOW??? Does any of you kind people know how to proceed WITHIN the Wikipedia.org ( meaning not having to copy EVERYTHING I HAVE WRITTEN SO FAR and Finish it by importing my words into another Writing Application like for example Microsoft WORD or so so many others that exist out there! Is that possible first of all? Can I “PAUSE MY WRITING” in Wikipedia “BUT WITHOUT HAVING IT PUBLISHED AND CONTINUE WERE I LEFT THE NEXT DAY AND THEM CONTINUE AGAIN AFTER A WEEK OR SO BUT WITHOUT PUBLISHING IT UNTIL ITS FINISHED???
I’m not well familiar with Wikipedia so I would so much be obliged to the person who will solve this for me, if they emailed me at (Redacted)
Thank you so much in advance My best regards and love from Nicosia / CYPRUS
Pari Mele
P.S. Forgive me for a very long email but it seems that from my stress I probably written the same questions more times than one!! I am very sorry! PLEASE EMAIL ME HERE: (Redacted) Pari Mele (talk) 20:26, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

Instead of "If you need help, you may ask questions at Simple talk..." Should it be "If you need help, you can ask questions at Simple talk..." ? --Thegooduser Let's Talk! :) 🍁 21:08, 11 January 2020 (UTC)

See my proposal of having a header on the main page relating to the 2020 coronavirus pandemic and relating articles to make it easier for our readers to navigate and look for information.--TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 12:53, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
Agreed. Dh.wp (talk) 16:07, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
This might be a good idea. Information from the English Wikipedia. Dh.wp (talk) 16:13, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
I really stumbled over this mentally:
"Use Basic English vocabulary and shorter sentences. This allows people to understand normally complex terms or phrases
Should read, IMO:
Use simple English words and write short sentences. This helps people understand words and sentences that would be difficult if you write in a complicated way.
Just my two cents.

Agreed, although this would be a minor change. Dh.wp (talk) 16:03, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
Per phab:T254287, mobile special casing will be disabled in July. This means the Main Page will look like this on phones (reduce your browser window or use devtools to simulate what it would look like on a phone). I've created User:BrandonXLF/sandbox with modified version of the Main Page that uses User:BrandonXLF/styles.css for styling, making the page easier to edit and smaller in size. This version is mobile friendly and no longer requires Template:Main Page subpanel and Template:Main Page panel. You see how it looks on desktop by going here and how it looks on mobile by going here. To use this version you would have to:
User:BrandonXLF/styles.css
with :Main Page/styles.css
in the code from User:BrandonXLF/sandboxThere a few differences between the pages visually (although they are very minor), please ping me if you have any issues with the code or the presentation of the new page. - BrandonXLF (talk) 04:03, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure this is a metaphor for "don't fret" or similarly "don't shy away", and tells you that your article doesn't have to be perfect. Conclusion, not needed. Dh.wp (talk) 16:01, 18 September 2020 (UTC)

This is simple English so it should use as little jargon as possible, many non-native English speakers have no idea what "Vocabulary" means and with good reason, I did not learn the word Vocabulary until I was in 8th grade, and for readers who want understand clear, direct and sharp wording they probably wont like the wording. The main argument against would be that "Vocabulary" is a more descriptive word then "Word" but the definition of Vocabulary according to Marian Webster is "a list or collection of words or of words and phrases usually alphabetically arranged and explained or defined", so the main difference is word means any word and vocabulary means a list of words usually in alphabetical order, the difference is minimal and people will be able to understand it all regardless.
Lots of people wont know what vocabulary means, and is not as understandable or direct as words. I therefore think this would be a positive change. Vallee01 (talk) 22:28, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
Change the "Useful pages" link near the top to link to Wikipedia:Useful pages instead of Wikipedia:Useful, as the page was moved this year. thanks. Nurg (talk) 22:32, 4 September 2020 (UTC)

Under "Welcome to Wikipedia" we have, "the free encyclopedia that anyone can change", should it be "The free encyclopedia that anyone can change."? --Thegooduser Let's Talk! :) 🍁 00:32, 25 October 2020 (UTC)
Hello, I’m Shift674. I’ve noticed that when there are no results in a search, the word “query” comes up. The word may be hard for some people to understand, so I’ve been wondering if we can change the word. -Shift674-🌀 15:53, 17 December 2020 (UTC)
