My opinion is that the planned date for renewing the featured information on our main page is unrealistic. We need to push this back for at least a week if we are to have any chance of presenting some high-quality variety in terms of featured material. As a temporary measure, I would however endorse the swapping of the current featured picture for a similar picture with different content, specifically, the one on the right. And, lest anyone point out the obvious, I know that this picture is not ideal. The picture may, however, be of interest to many as the person appearing at the far left is the current Purodha Pramukha of AMPS, rarely photographed taking part in a service project. --[[User:Abhidevananda|Abhidevananda]] ([[User talk:Abhidevananda|talk]]) 13:40, 12 November 2013 (MST) | My opinion is that the planned date for renewing the featured information on our main page is unrealistic.

* The picture is nice.. my opinion is (but I don't know if it's possible from the technical point of view) that to have different images that follow each other every one week with an automatic routine could give the site a dynamic effect that will result in an increased sense of innovation.--[[User:Ananta|Ananta]] ([[User talk:Ananta|talk]]) 08:47, 14 November 2013 (MST) | * The picture is nice.. my opinion is (but I don't know if it's possible from the technical point of view) that to have different images that follow each other every one week with an automatic routine could give the site a dynamic effect that will result in an increased sense of innovation.--[[User:Ananta|Ananta]] ([[User talk:Ananta|talk]]) 08:47, 14 November 2013 (MST) | ||
::For better or worse, I am in the process of changing the featured picture just now. Indeed, I want to put up two featured pictures. I had intended to leave the current picture up for a week, but special circumstances have prevailed. The delay just now is only because I am having trouble generating thumbnails. I think that our settings somehow do not allow for the creation of thumbnails on images that are larger than 1Mb. Perhaps the threshold is even lower. --[[User:Abhidevananda|Abhidevananda]] ([[User talk:Abhidevananda|talk]]) 12:05, 14 November 2013 (MST) | |||

It is a long time featured content have not been changed. We may think of updating featured content now. Is 21 March a good date to go for? --<span style="background:orange;border:orange ridge">[[User:Tito Dutta|Tito]]</span><span style="color:blue;background:white;otit;border-bottom-style:ridge;">☸</span><span style="background:#57C738;border:green ridge">[[User talk:Tito Dutta|Dutta]]</span> 14:34, 9 March 2014 (MDT) | |||
: I've thought about this. We should update the featured content. But it may be that March 21 is too early a target date. Also, is the Featured Article star working yet? If not, then we also need to make that happen. --[[User:Abhidevananda|Abhidevananda]] ([[User talk:Abhidevananda|talk]]) 21:40, 9 March 2014 (MDT) | |||
:* Top icon is not working. There are two related problems. I have included them in last report in the group. About 21 March, I can do the works, if needed. It is a long time we have rotated featured articles. We may set dates, such as 6 and 21 of every month (I try to point on 21of any month keeping Sarkarverse inauguration and P. R. Sarkar birth and death dates in mind). <span style="background:orange;border:orange ridge">[[User:Tito Dutta|Tito]]</span><span style="color:blue;background:white;otit;border-bottom-style:ridge;">☸</span><span style="background:#57C738;border:green ridge">[[User talk:Tito Dutta|Dutta]]</span> 06:09, 10 March 2014 (MDT) | |||
