April 1[edit]
This is April Fools Day, a day when Wikipedia traditionally does some light-hearted and amusing things. Stifle (talk) 07:51, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
Incongruent name[edit]
I think "Cock Lane Ghost" is amusing enough. That should have been the name that appeared on the main page. KnowitallWiki (talk) 08:01, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

Home page - possible translation error[edit]
Couldn't find an appropriate link on the Contacts page. Please forward this to the appropriate person.
I happened to pay attention to the list of available languages today, and noticed something peculiar.
Under "English," you have the tag line, "The Free Encyclopedia."
Under "Russian," you have what I assume is supposed to be the Russian equivalent, however, the translation is dated or a little odd.
Although "Свободная энциклопедия" literally translates into "free encyclopedia," "Свободная" is the adjectival form of "free" or "freedom." A closer translation would be "liberated encyclopedia," which I do not believe is the intention.
"Free" as in "gratis" is "бесплатная" ("unpaid" or "without pay").
Most speakers of Russian will understand the phrase, but it has a funny ring to it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.227.121.23 (talk) 05:28, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
