message: Wikipedia seems to be the domain of tech heads!
As an ordinary user interested in making a decent entry, with tables, pictures etc (not on this Wiki, but another Wikimedia project), I want to find a simple to use editor that is a bit better than the very basic editor.
So I came looking here, and all I found was tech speak!
Any hope for a simple installing application. Seems to me it is long overdue!

Talk:Titus Pullo (Rome character)

message: This page really needs a more representative picture of Pullo on it.
Does anyone know of one, or can make one with a screen capture?
I'll take a screen capture.  With respect to the "Personality" it seems that there is an attempt to represent this in all sections.  Should we remove it from the other subcategories to cut down on redundancy?

Help talk:Files

message: The link Consideration of image download size takes you to the Wikipedia:Images page, but there is nothing there about image size considerations. This is an important topic. EEye (talk) 12:36, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
thread_title: Image size

message: === The current / "Latest" revision (at this time) === 
These comments are based on (and therefore, 'in a sense', they are about) the "Latest revision as of 00:22, 25 December 2019" version of the "Help:" page 'Help:Files. 
=== What is wrong === 
The last part of the third sentence of the "Uploading files" section of [that version of] that "Help:" page, [consists of a wikilink that] says:Wikimedia Commons; but I think that the word (or 'name') "main" in that wikilink is wrong. I think it should (instead) be the word (or 'name') "Main_Page". 
=== What [URL] that hyperlink points to, now === 
Given the wikitext that is shown in a "'d" QUOTE above, the hyperlink now points to the URL "https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main" ... which is [the URL of] a Commons page that is about a river in Germany. 
::(partial quote: << "The Main is a river in Germany, 524 km in length, and one of the more voluminous tributaries of the Rhine river. It flows through the states of Bavaria and Hesse. The largest city on the Main is Frankfurt [am Main]." >>).  
=== What [URL] that hyperlink probably should point to === 
I suggest that someone should change the wikitext that is shown in a "blockquote'd" QUOTE above 
* from Wikimedia Commons 
* to Wikimedia Commons
which IMHO would solve the problem. If this change or "edit" [idea] were to be implemented, then -- according to my  understanding of this stuff -- (and please enlighten me, if I am wrong!) -- then the hyperlink would point to the URL "https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page" ... which is [the URL of] a Commons page that is the "Main Page" for Wikimedia Commons. (right?) IMHO that is probably the intended Commons [web] page that the last two words of that sentence "should" link to. 
=== Any comments? (before the editing begins?) === 
(right?) (... or not?) Comments are welcome. --Mike Schwartz (talk) 02:09, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
