Interesting[edit]

  • Atlas of the World
  • A Malibu Temple picture I had uploaded to Wikipedia Commons has been used by Home & Abroad, a Expedia partner website. It was nice of them to credit the photographer.
  • Funny..one bot reverting another bot.
  • Wiki prayers
  • Brion Vibber's Tech talk on Wikipedia

  • Schiff, Stacy (24 July 2006). "KNOW IT ALL: Can Wikipedia conquer expertise?". The New Yorker. {{cite news}}: Check date values in: |date= (help); Italic or bold markup not allowed in: |publisher= (help)
A thorough review of the history and practice of Wikipedia. History of encyclopaedias. Quotes from Jimbo, Essjay, William Connolley, etc. Ends "Wikipedia offers endless opportunities for self-expression. It is the love child of reading groups and chat rooms, a second home for anyone who has written an Amazon review. This is not the first time that encyclopedia-makers have snatched control from an élite, or cast a harsh light on certitude. Jimmy Wales may or may not be the new Henry Ford, yet he has sent us tooling down the interstate, with but a squint back at the railroad. We’re on the open road now, without conductors and timetables. We’re free to chart our own course, also free to get gloriously, recklessly lost. Your truth or mine? "

CUTPASTE[edit]

Hi Ganesh. I've (hopefully) fixed the cutpaste move. Basically, if you want A redirecting to B in the end, first delete B. Then, move A to B. View edit history of B. Click on restore the deleted edits. WP:CUTPASTE has more details. -- Sundar \talk \contribs 06:57, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

    Plains-wanderer
    The plains-wanderer (Pedionomus torquatus) is a bird in the family Pedionomidae, of which it is the only surviving species. Endemic to Australia, its historical range included Victoria, New South Wales, South Australia and the Northern Territory, but in recent years it has become endangered, with remaining known populations concentrated in the Riverina (a region in southwestern New South Wales) and western Queensland. The plains-wanderer is a quail-like ground bird, measuring 15 to 19 centimetres (5.9 to 7.5 in). The adult male is light brown above, with fawn-white underparts with black crescents. The adult female is substantially larger than the male and has a distinctive white-spotted black collar. This female plains-wanderer was photographed in the Riverina, north of the town of Deniliquin, New South Wales.Photograph credit: John Harrison
