Did you know: Ronald Regan was (not) the first sitting president to visit a synagogue since George Washington

"The did you know" section states that Ronald Regan was the first sitting president to visit a synagogue since George Washington. This is incorrect. President Grant visited a synagogue attended the inauguration of a new synagogue during his presidency.

DYK has been updated the day after this report. Thanks for the comment anyway. You may want to fix the article. -Barras talk 16:01, 19 September 2025 (UTC)

@TDKR Chicago 101 As you nominated this, can you correct it? canadachick (talk) 16:11, 19 September 2025 (UTC)

Fixed it in the archives and article. NYT said that Reagan was the first since GW one according to a rabbi. Apologies for this. TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 16:17, 19 September 2025 (UTC)

Jack Massey Welsh

Wikipedia for some reason refuses to add a page for Jack Massey Welsh. They say they need credible sources, but I think Jack has enough. ~2025-26560-25 (talk) 15:17, 26 September 2025 (UTC)

This has just recently been discussed here. Apparently not (yet) notable. -Barras talk 19:19, 26 September 2025 (UTC)

Thank you- so much for understanding me ~2026-21276-06 (talk) 22:10, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

Long articles

Most articles I have read are stubs (short ones). Can somebody name some long articles (articles that aren’t stubs)? ~2025-27148-04 (talk) 19:50, 29 September 2025 (UTC)

Many of our longer, better quality articles can be found at WP:Good articles or WP:Very good articles MrMeAndMrMe_Talk 02:43, 30 September 2025 (UTC)

Wish some1 made a article about the Confederation Of Sedang

i see the confederation of Sedang not having an article about it and I can’t find anything about it on others websites Nyasaland3s (talk) 16:48, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

Hey @Nyasaland3s no article exists on this country on English Wikipedia (which is the only way we could create an article) the most I could find was on a historical Vietnamese Kingdom ​ Amapenguin (talk) 18:16, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

I mean on regular wiki, Wikipedia does not let me make articles Nyasaland3s (talk) 18:45, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

@JackPetro2023, what's the reason for this change? Ternera (talk) 22:03, 3 July 2026 (UTC)

Need to remove how many articles and the search bar ~2026-38197-57 (talk) 16:07, 4 July 2026 (UTC)

Move Leone di Lernia

As there is no obvious link to a "talk" or "forum", I request here to move Leone di Lernia to Leone Di Lernia. Pls take the reasoning from today's move of the same WP:EN page. Cheers, Oalexander (talk) 10:43, 21 September 2026 (UTC)

Problems

This wiki has a lot of problems with spam, hoaxes, and is generally understaffed. I remember on the Mario Party 8 article removing a completely false claim that it was released for Nintendo GameCube -- something added in July 2024 and reverted by me in April 2026.

There's a deluge of spam in the recent changes too. Is the wiki going to be able to handle all this? 2005-Fan (talk) 00:17, 31 October 2026 (UTC)

@2005-Fan, vandalism and spam are usually cleaned up quickly here. If you see spam pages or edits, please tag for deletion or revert and report them to WP:VIP if they keep going after warnings. I did take a look at the new changes and don't see unhandled spam at this time. Ternera (talk) 00:34, 31 October 2026 (UTC)

Of course we welcome the help, and yes sometimes spam slips through. Generally, things don't get too out of hand though. Garsh (talk) 01:35, 31 October 2026 (UTC)

What I worry about is that Abstract Wikipedia or Wikidata text-synthesis downstream from English Wikipedia will end up overriding the work on this wiki as an "easy shortcut", especially if there's more cases like the misinfo I found and reverted a while back. Another reason is that controlled vocabulary and simpler sentences are the easiest targets for such workflows.

Again, it's just speculative, but it definitely comes with a lingering feeling of discomfort when I think about it. 2005-Fan (talk) 03:56, 31 October 2026 (UTC)

I’ve also wondered about this, but it seems abstract Wikipedia has major issues and will for the foreseeable future. I don’t see a great simplewiki replacement happening any time soon. Garsh (talk) 01:00, 1 November 2026 (UTC)
