October 5[edit]

Kuwait[edit]

Why are most articles about Kuwaiti stuff a stub? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:1851:8005:355E:F9AB:849D:232C:71F7 (talk) 16:30, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Because you didn't expand them. --Jayron 32 17:32, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure that the OP's premise is entirely fair. A quick random sample brings up Kuwait national cricket team (Start-Class), Cinema of Kuwait (Start-Class), History of Kuwait (C-Class), Mubarak Al-Sabah, the founder of modern Kuwait (rated Start-Class but probably should be B or C) and Environmental issues in Kuwait (C-class).

According to WikiProject Kuwait, 846 out of 1,379 articles tagged by them are stubs, but this is probably not much better or worse than for other similar nations on Wikipedia. As Jayron says above, feel free to sign up with the Kuwait project and join the great undertaking. Alansplodge (talk) 18:39, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Android Phone GUI[edit]

When I get calls from people I know, my Android phone shows two circles. I can drag one to ignore the call. I can drag the other to answer the call. When I get junk calls, I see two boxes. I tap one box to ignore the call. I tap the other to answer. There is no indication why it has draggable circles in one case and tappable boxes in another. I've noticed, from my own calls, that real calls use circles and junk calls use boxes. Is that a real GUI interface indication? Does Android specifically use boxes for junk calls? Is it a Verizon thing (my carrier is Verizon). Perhaps it is an LG thing (I have an LG phone). 97.82.165.112 (talk) 16:57, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Curiosity[edit]

When Dortmund's Westfalenstadion was built for the 1974 World Cup, did the stadium already have catering areas, toilets, etc., or were these added later? Thank you very much. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.41.98.150 (talk) 23:26, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

While it doesn't have the specifics you mention here Westfalenstadion#History it is hard to imagine a stadium hosting a World Cup match without toilets and food service of some sort. The stadium has undergone renovations per Westfalenstadion#Expansions so the facilities will have been updated and modernized. MarnetteD|Talk 23:52, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
