-'''Logged-in users''': Go to 'my preferences', select the 'Gadgets' tab, check the box labelled 'Suppress display of the fundraiser site notice', click 'Save', then bypass your browser cache (Ctrl + F5 on Internet Explorer, Ctrl + Shift + R on Firefox) to see changes.
-'''Not logged in''': [[Special:CreateAccount|Create an account]] (this takes very little time, all you have to do is pick a username and password), then follow the above instructions. It is beyond the control of the English language Wikipedia to remove the donation notice for users not logged in. Alternatively disabling javascript may be used to prevent the article from being displayed, although this may affect other script based browsing.

-== a Suggestion for Consideration ==
-:::Aimed toward an Admin: So sorry to take time out of a person's day, but I felt like it couldn't hurt. May I suggest adding a new heading on the Main Page? Would you consider adding a Quote of the Day/Week/Month section? Perhaps a Featured User ot something along that line would be interesting (although I'm not sure that would be feasible or how it would fair). Also, a type of "easter egg" system that maybe linked to hidden content not otherwise accesible would make the page a tad more adventurous. If you chose to do hidden content, however, it may just be fascinating facts or something of the sort. How does this sound?  <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Howdychicken|Howdychicken]] ([[User talk:Howdychicken|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Howdychicken|contribs]]) 21:42, 20 December 2008 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

-== Donation Notice ==
-The translation for the one from Ferdinando from Italy should say "The world <b>would not be</b> the same without Wikipedia" instead of "The world <b>is not</b> the same ..." (without the boldface, of course). The latter implies that Wikipedia no longer exists.<br>

-:I'm presuming the foundation is aiming for a more literal translation even if it might be gramatically incorrect. Regardless, this has nothing to do with the main page as the banner appears thoroughout wikipedia and is controlled by the foundation not us [[User:Nil Einne|Nil Einne]] ([[User talk:Nil Einne|talk]]) 16:10, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

-::You probably have a smaller resolution; there is not supposed to be a bullet between ''Help'' and ''Contents'' because they are separated by a page width. It will display correctly on a larger resolution. [[Special:Contributions/79.71.98.62|79.71.98.62]] ([[User talk:79.71.98.62|talk]]) 07:53, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
-:::In future can we make it clear when we are referring to "bullet points"? "missing bullet" sounded far more exciting than it actually turned out to be. [[Special:Contributions/91.110.110.146|91.110.110.146]] ([[User talk:91.110.110.146|talk]]) 13:46, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

-== Eastern Roman not Byzantine if you mention the dispute ==
-Calling the Roman emperor of the time "Byzantine" is NPOV as it allready implies that he wasn't a Roman Emperor. This biases the debate right away. Yes I know that this is the most common phrase in the West (and Greece, and Greece I know), '''however''' since there is mention of the dispute regarding who had the right to bear the title Roman it should be made clear thet the Byzantines '''were''' Romans. The so called Byzantine Empire was in fact the Eastern part of the Roman Empire that survived for another thousand year after the fall of the Western half.

-"Pope Leo III crowned Charlemagne (bust pictured) Roman Emperor"
-Roman Emperor linked to [[Holy_Roman_Emperor]] which disputes the above statement. Suggest removal of Holy Roman Emperor link.
