:"Did you know" is a good idea but there's a similar pictorial Islam section at the bottom. I know Main page could be improved but we just dont have enough people at this time to do all the [[tasks|stuff]] that needs to be done. --[[User:Axius|Axius]] <span style="font-size:88%">([[User_talk:Axius|talk]] <nowiki>|</nowiki> [[Special:Contributions/Axius|contribs]])</span> 15:30, 3 April 2014 (PDT)

::As Axius noted, we already have a section on the front page that generates random interesting articles. If we did have such a section, what would be in it? Things like "Did you know... Muhammad Married and had intercourse with a nine-year-old" would look a lot less professional than simply having it the way we have it know (i.e. a heading, "Muhammad and Aisha", followed by a description). Then there is the issue of maintenance. There is no point in adding to our already long to-do list with things that require a lot of work and/or need constant updating.

== Adding content to the Main page ==
I have a suggestion. I have found many interesting articles that i cannot see on the main page, and therefore we cannot fastly reach them.
Examples:
~The article about Scientific errors and contradictions in the quran and the hadith.
An article about the miraculous nature of Vigils georgias

:Thanks for the suggestions. Contradictions in the Quran is a very important article but it has been under review for a long time and because of that I would think it would not be an article we would like to link on the main page. The other one (Miracles in Vigils..) is probably not that important (but still interesting). People can get to it through various other means (Site map, Quran page etc). Thats my input in any case. --[[User:Axius|Axius]] <span style="font-size:88%">([[User_talk:Axius|talk]] <nowiki>|</nowiki> [[Special:Contributions/Axius|contribs]])</span> 17:20, 7 October 2014 (PDT)
::There is only so many articles you can add to the main page. There are 2,790 of them in total and most of them are great, but they obviously can't all go there. So we've limited them to the best/most relevant.
::The place to go to when looking for an article on any site like this one (Wikipedia, etc.), is never the front page. It's the search function or the [[site map]]. That is how you can easily find any page. Even without that, this website goes one better than Wikipedia by linking every single hub page at the bottom of the main page (the errors and contradictions page is also linked there).
::Finally, as Axius has already noted, pages that are tagged for quality etc., are not front page material, and the Georgics articles you have suggested for the main page is already there. It is on the right hand side, under "Humor and Satire". [[User:Sahab|--Sahab]] ([[User talk:Sahab|talk]]) 19:06, 7 October 2014 (PDT)
