 Re:ANI question 

Hey Bugs, just as a follow up to this question, there are no Malware in the program. As I answered about the registry cleaner, some people don't understand how much damage ""cleaning"" your registry can do. Not that I've never done it, but I tend to manually remove items these days because I don't trust any ""cleaners"". In any case, it's the 3rd party software that most complaints are coming from. And although those are not Malware either, some of the programs do trigger Avast and some other anti-virus software, but as Adware or potentially unwanted programs. These are installed if you aren't reading the installation and just click ""Next, Next, Next\ etc.. You have the ""Decline"" option, but they don't make it very clear. It's disappointing that CNet now allows this, but it's all about $$$. And they can just say there are options to decline. Which there are. You can delete this whenever, I just didn't want to clutter ANI up with the expansion of this gibberish. heh   

 Main Page appearance: Babe Ruth 

This is a note to let the main editors of Babe Ruth know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on July 11, 2014. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at present, please ask . You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/July 11, 2014. If it needs tweaking, or if it needs rewording to match improvements to the article between now and its main page appearance, please edit it, following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. The blurb as it stands now is below:

Babe Ruth (1895–1948) was an American baseball outfielder and pitcher who played 22 seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB) from 1914 to 1935. Born in Baltimore, Ruth was sent at age seven to St. Mary's, a reformatory where he learned baseball skills. In 1914, Ruth was signed to play minor-league baseball for the Baltimore Orioles. He began his MLB career as a stellar left-handed pitcher for the Boston Red Sox, but achieved his greatest fame as a slugging outfielder for the New York Yankees. Ruth established many MLB batting (and some pitching) records, including 714 career home runs. In his fifteen years with the Yankees, Ruth helped them win seven American League pennants and four World Series championships. His big swing led to escalating home run totals that boosted baseball's popularity and made home runs a major factor in the sport. Ruth's unprecedented power and carousing lifestyle made him a larger-than-life figure in the ""Roaring Twenties"". One of the first five inductees into the National Baseball Hall of Fame, Ruth is regarded as one of the greatest sports heroes in American culture, and is considered by many to be the greatest baseball player of all time. 

You (and your talk-page stalkers) may also be interested to hear that there have been some changes at the TFA requests page recently.  Nominators no longer need to calculate how many ""points"" an article has, the instructions have been simplified, and there's a new nomination system using templates based on those used for DYK suggestions. Please consider nominating another article, or commenting on an existing nomination, and leaving some feedback on your experience. Thank you.   

 hi 

I saw your comment about the kidnapping and indoctrination of boys in Syria. I agree, that would be a good example of violence against men, if we have an article on it it could be added. There have been other atrocities in Syria as well - for example there has been a great deal of sexual violence perpetrated against both civilian men and women. See  ""HRW quoted a man who said he had been held in the Political Security branch in Latakia in a cell with
