10 January

In what year was the 10, January that you refer to? Only a presumptuous person would think that this is clear from the context.but its not —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.171.106.179 (talk) 00:38, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

I assume you are talking about the first paragraph in Wikipedia:About#Wikipedia_history. It seems clear to me that the year referred to is 2000.--Commander Keane (talk) 01:01, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

2001, actually. *Dan T.* (talk) 04:03, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

The lack of a year caused me to do a double-take just like the unnamed contributor above. Unlike CK, I thought that the year should be 2001, judging by previous dating of the creation of Wikipedia as being in 2001. Since I find that I am not the only one who questioned this, for the sake of clarity I added the year, 2001, to the February 10. HTH --Paine (talk) 03:52, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Editors intent on improving articles

Just noting that this particular page has an assertion

"As there are many more editors intent on improving articles than not, error-ridden articles are usually corrected promptly."

Wondering -- is there any basis for this statement in terms of actual data ?

The Clock

Is it just me or is the clock on the statistics box 1 hour behind ?

I purged it at 21:57 3rd august. The time appeared as: 20:57 on August 3, 2009. StephenBHedges (talk) 20:58, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

A nonsensical link title

At the end of the intro section there's a link titled What Wikipedia is (and is not) which leads to a what wikipedia is not page. OK. This is obviously somebody's failed attempt at humor. Quite as logical as hitting the start button in windoze to shut down... Somebody should rename it to what wikipedia is not. --88.148.205.72 (talk) 18:26, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Beta

I do not know if perhaps this page or the encyclopedia article Wikipedia should mention the Wikipedia Beta, but that would be highly useful considering that there is no information on this website about it. --vizzydix1:-) 22:10, 20 August 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vizzydix1 (talk • contribs)

That would belong more on the Wikipedia article than here. You should raise the point on the talkpage. --Cybercobra (talk) 22:38, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

pronnunciation

I've never heard "wikipedia" pronounced with the first syllable like "wee", on TV, the radio, or in conversation, and so have deleted the IPA for that. Dictionary.com and the six sound files at forvo.com would appear to back me up. Anyone actually pronounce it WEE-kee-PEE-dee-ə rather than WIK-ee-PEE-dee-ə? (And no, we don't care how it's pronounced in Hawaiian. That's irrelevant. If we were concerned with that, we'd transcribe it [ˈvitiˈviti].) —kwami (talk) 07:07, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

I'm personally the founder of wikipedia, and "Wee" is precisely how I pronounce it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.3.14.177 (talk) 07:28, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Графички дизајн

Терминот графички дизајн може да се однесува на голем број на уметнички и стручни дисциплини, кои се фокусираат на визуелна комуникација и презентација. Различни методи се користат за да се создададат и комбинират симболи, слики и / или зборови за да создаде визуелна претстава на идеи и пораки. А може да го користи графичкиот дизајнер типографија, визуелната уметност и распоред страница техники за производство на конечниот резултат. Графички дизајн и често се однесува на процесот (дизајнирање), со која е основан и комуникациски производи (дизајн), која се произведуваат.

Заедничка употреба на графички дизајн вклучува и списанија, реклами на производи и пакувањето. На пример, еден производ пакет може да содржи логото или други уметнички дела, во организација на текст и чист дизајн елементи како форми и боја која ги обедини парче. Состав е еден од најважните белези на графички дизајн, особено кога се користи постоечки материјали или различни елементи. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gonce88 (talk • contribs) 19:56, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
