POTD caption January 16 2013

This church is called "Igreja de Santo Ildefonso" in portuguese. Please note that it is "Santo" and not "San" ("San" is a spanish word and not a portuguese one). So, the proper caption should either read "Igreja de Santo Ildefonso" (http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Igreja_de_Santo_Ildefonso) or "Church of Saint Ildefonso" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_Saint_Ildefonso), and not "San Ildefonso church".

POTY announcement

{{editrequest}} Please update it to include results.--Praveen:talk 06:47, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

I've created a new version with the results at User:Mono/Sandbox. Could an admin please replace it with that? Mono 16:30, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

Red link.

Someone should remove that red link to that journals page. Red links on the main page do 4 things. They bug people. They bug me. They confuse people who are not familiar with red links. They make us look bad. Scientific Alan 2 (talk) 01:12, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

✓ Done, replaced with Category:Media from scholarly journals and recreated Category:Images from journals as a category redirect, so that all language versions of the Main Page have a blue link there. --Mormegil (talk) 18:57, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

POTD caption: redundant period

{{editrequested}} Hi, can someone please remove the period from the POTD caption? It is redundant (see en:Wikipedia:Captions). Thanks. --Eleassar (t/p) 11:29, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

  • ✓ Done, thanks for helping! odder (talk) 20:45, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

Urgent: Italicisation

"Vespa crabro", like all such binominal species names, should be italicised. Andy Mabbett (talk) 11:50, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

Picture caption

{{editrequest}} Would someone perhaps alter "showes" to "shows" in the caption of today's picture? Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 15:00, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

  • Also, "Wood engraving" should be "wood engraving", with a small "w". §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 16:17, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
✓ Done, thanks for reporting this! —Mono 19:42, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
The period is redundant, because it is not a complete sentence (see en:WP:CAPTION). --Eleassar (t/p) 09:43, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

POTD caption 6 April 2013

Could someone please fix the formatting of the scientific name? Macroglossum stellatarum should be italicized, like all scientific binomials. Sminthopsis84 (talk) 20:22, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

POTD Incorrect spelling/wrong tense

{{Edit request}} Become should be became.--Rockfang (talk) 01:28, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

The new "From Wikimedia Commons, the free media repository" header

I really like the new "From Wikimedia Commons, the free media repository" header that Commons has just implemented, and I think it is certainly useful on gallery pages and categories. However, it doesn't look so wonderful just floating loose at the top of Main Page. I know that the English Wikipedia is able to suppress its own similar header ("From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia") on its main page, so there must be a way to do it. Anyway, I think the Commons Main Page would look much cleaner (and better) without it. Thanks for your time and take care! Michael Barera (talk) 22:23, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

POTD caption 30 April 2013

The caption should read "Triumphal arch" instead of "Triumpharch". JoJan (talk) 15:38, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

POTD 16 May 2013

The picture is upside down! Kiltpin (talk) 17:21, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi. It looks fine here. Perhaps someone fixed it since you posted? Killiondude (talk) 18:25, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
Sorry, Killiondude, those flames are upside down. Rotate your monitor, you will see what I mean. Kiltpin (talk) 22:49, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

Talk page protection

Hi. I'm not sure I like the idea of permanently protecting this talk page from IP edits. Perhaps we can just write abuse filters for whatever type of vandalism was happening before? Killiondude (talk) 18:26, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

Delete request

Please, could someone delete this pic http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Camila_Giorgi_2008.jpg? It's the same image of http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Camila_Giorgi.jpg and was loaded because wizard has not marked it as a duplicate. Thank you. --Mirandolese (talk) 06:55, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
