replies: text:  IMO, there's no need to shut it down, but perhaps a post at the Village Pump to attract people's attention and discuss this on a user's talk page would be more appropriate and practical than posting here on Talk: Main Page. -- 12:01, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

message: your front page looks funny on IE 6. the wikipedia graphc is covered up by some of the language doohickeys
:Funny, I was just investigating this kind of thing this morning and it seemed fine in IE 6. I don't suppose you feel like putting a screenshot somewhere so we can have a look? That would be really helpful if you could. (Another solution is to get a proper browser, of course....) — Trilobite (Talk) 17:11, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: As it happens the front page has just been updated in the last few minutes, and incorporates some fixes to the code, although I don't think any of them will directly affect the problem you're experiencing. Is it still doing the same thing? — Trilobite (Talk) 19:50, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

message: I think the sprinting headline has seen enough face time on the front page
*Then by all means, suggest something new at Template:In the news/Candidate. We haven't received anything new since the June 18 and we can't delete items if there's nothing to replace it with. I've removed to items from June 14 and 15 (a week old is a bit too much). - Mgm|(talk) 13:10, Jun 20, 2005 (UTC)

message: The Great Schism anniversary lists Pope Alexander V, Pope Gregory XII and Pope Benedict XII as rival pontiffs; this is untrue! Benedict XII reigned nearly eighty years before; Avignon Pope Benedict XIII was the actual antipope involved in the schism. Someone please confirm and fix this ASAP! Wally 17:55, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

replies: text:  The anniversary is for the coronation of Pope Alexander V, not the beginning of the Schism.  Having 3 popes at the same time is historic.  The actual problem with the entry is the use of present tense.  Past tense should be used. -- 64.229.207.200 23:37, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)
