The Tip of The Day department needs editors to monitor the tips before they "go live". To do this, place {{Totd-tomorrow}} on your user page or user talk page. That will show the tip a day early. When you find an inaccuracy or other problem, you can fix it yourself, or report it at the Tip of the day talk page. Thank you!
Portal:Space - The selected article excerpts were copied and pasted between 2006 and 2009. The leads of the corresponding articles have greatly improved since then.
Portal:Thinking - "Selected" sections need new material. Been the same for years.
The following portals have interesting design features that you may find useful
Portal:South East England - A "parent" portal that uses selected content from several "child" portals, chosen at random for each type of content.
Portal:Philosophy - Automatically cycles through 52 "Selected philosophers", one per week, year after year.
Portal:Arts - Uses random generators to display random featured status selections.
Discussions and collaborations
Discussions in the following areas have requested wider attention via Requests for comment:
When asking a question at the Help desk or the Reference desk, please include all the facts needed to answer the question. For example, do not ask "who was president in 1900?" without mentioning the country you are interested in. This prevents the volunteers of those departments from having to ask follow-up questions before providing answers. Friendly reminder: the Help desk is for questions on how to use Wikipedia, while the Reference desk is for questions about anything else (real world questions).
