{{editprotected}} Please remove the link to "billion" in the blurb. Per WP:OVERLINK, we shouldn't link to terms that are commonly known to the reader. Dabomb87 (talk) 21:21, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
- Unfortunately there are many countries who incorrectly use the term to refer to a completely different number. It's sad, I know. --- RockMFR 22:09, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
Atomic Bombings edit
If only to point out the hypocrisy everyone knew would occur when they were shot down by American-biased admins on september the 11th, it seems obvious to ask why the Atomic Bombings haven't had such childishly excessive focus? On 9/11, you featured the western sob-story in as many front page boxes as possible, most notably the featured article and claimed it wasn't some American-bias. And yet today, on the perfect oppertunity to do the opposite and feature an article related to the one of the worst Bomb attacks in history, suddenly, the pragmatic admins have all disapeared? Very odd. - Jimmi Hugh (talk) 13:42, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
