Main Page

This page contains material that is kept because it is considered humorous.
Such material is not meant to be taken seriously.

After careful consideration I am convinced that this portal meets all the criteria for featured portals and may even be one of the best portals on Wikipedia. Please review the appropriate criteria list when making comments. Although it currently appears to be suffering an existential dilemma, this page is updated daily (much more often than most Featured Portals), a very popular page, and showcases some of our best content.

~~Oppose~~ - Portal is highly volatile and subject of much edit warring, especially regarding its contents. That being said, all contributors should be congratulated for a job well done. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:08, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm... I see your point. But thankfully, content stability is not, as far as I know, a requirement for featured portals, although it certainly can't help. Since the main portal-space seems pretty stable, could you specify which section needs help, so I see what I could do to sort it out? Thanks. FallingGravity (talk) 06:15, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Cripes, it's not a criteria? We need to open an RFC! — Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:28, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support - It's incredibly volatile. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:28, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Edits like this, this, and this show that the users maintaining this page are clearly not up to the job. Furthermore, it appears that some users have created an attack page largely dedicated to those they feel have erred in their edits to this portal, which is blatant ownership that we should not tolerate. — PinkAmpers &^{(Je vous invite à me parler)} 06:39, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Shame stability isn't a criteria, and vandalism can always be wrieofajiejaldjaldkjfa ljdfofff — Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:46, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - This is indeed troubling behavior. I've dropped Jimbo Wales a notice warning him against content ownership. Hopefully this should clear up any ownership problems. FallingGravity (talk) 07:19, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support- On the conditions that we rename it to "Main Portal". Feedback ^☎ 07:52, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Being completely serious here: I'm stunned that this many people actually know about the Featured portal process and apparently have it watchlisted. Perhaps once April 1st is over some of you might return and help out here a bit? It'd be appreciated. Sven Manguard Wha? 16:23, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I actually followed the link from Talk:Main page but I've watchlisted the candidates page now per your request. Ryan Vesey 16:27, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
