Can still be done later. The problem is the lack of time. If you wait to long there are to many links to the new location of the english wikipedia that can not be broken. If there is no fundamental objection to put the English wikipedia at en.wikipedia.org then that must be done. What to do whit www.wikipedia.org can wait (a littel.)

This is just silly -- we are building an encyclopedia here not an organization. There is nothing at all wrong with having the English wikipedia at wikipedia.org and have all the pages that are about the English language project be in the wikipedia namespace (or in the other languages project namespaces). As each language figures out what to call their wikipedia we can buy them domain names for that and make sure the xx.wikipedia.com domain names still work.
Other than being a one-page portal to all the different language wikipedias (which the Main Page already does -- as do most of the other language main pages) I don't see any logic in using wikipedia.org for anything other than the English language wikipedia.

Hi,
I have noticed something over the last few days; it may not be be a bug so I am hesitant to raise it as such however it does represent a change in behaviour. Items I have visited no longer remain highlighted in e.g. the Recent Changes page. Given the volume of throughput we now get, I found just flicking down and noting them would enable me to see articles I was involved which had changed in at a glance. This no longer appears to the case.

Is this happening continuously, or just to items that you last visited prior to the afternoon of the 15th (in which case the URLs have changed from www.wikipedia.com to www.wikipedia.org, and your browser will not recognize them as the same)?
If you want to be sure to see changes to articles that you might be interested in, may I recommend using the Watchlist? Pages that you have added to your watchlist (click "Watch this page") appear in bold in the Recentchanges list, even if you log in on a different computer or with a different browser. (You must be logged in for it to keep track, naturally.)

Brion,
I feel that this may be behaviour which occurred since the 15th although I am not //entirely// sure. I certainly noticed it on/after the 15th as an issue and I attributed it initially to the change in domains. I will keep an eye on it and keep you up to date. My watchlist would probably be too unwieldy to be serviceable (I only keep articles which are //particularly// contentious in there), and I certainly prefer the already visited highlight flick through method.
