:Now, you, Rjanag, you are different. You liked the comment I left at your talk page after you without looking into subject [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Adoption_of_Ala%27a_Eddeen&diff=prev&oldid=418031803 tagged the Main Page's article]. You even [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Did_you_know&diff=prev&oldid=418055231 called my comment "lovely"] :-). I guess you loved it so much that you "forgot" to mention that [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Rjanag&diff=prev&oldid=418042004 I reverted my "lovely message" a few minutes after it was posted]. May I please ask you to let me know, if you'd like me to put it back? I'll do it for you of course.:-) |

:Back to the subject. If an article is tagged even with a neutral tag, a DYK for this article is rejected. Why? Because DYK appearing at the Main Page of wikipedia, the wikipedia's face. What wikipedia readers will think about wikipedia that posts to the main page "unencyclopedic" and "unbalanced" articles? How many of them will never come to such site again? Even, if only a single person dumps wikipedia because of that, it will be one too many. Don't you understand that to have such tagged article at the main page is anyway like to go to an important reception half-dressed? Anyway...Warm regards, and please don't get insulted :-)--[[User:Mbz1|Mbz1]] ([[User talk:Mbz1#top|talk]]) 02:07, 10 March 2011 (UTC) |

::That is your stylistic opinion, and one that does not currently have consensus on the project. Leaving insulting messages such as "Poor, poor wikipedia that has administrators as you are" just because someone disagrees with you over a subjective matter is quite rude. |

Re: Disappointed
There is no rule that articles on the Main Page are protected from tagging, criticism, or editing. Even TFA is not protected from editing (see, for example, Wikipedia_talk:Today's_featured_article#RfC:_Time_to_dispense_with_WP:NOPRO?). The fact that an article happens to be linked from the main page doesn't mean that an editor can't point out problems with it by adding tags. If someone wants to remove the tags because they were not explained at the talk page, that is one thing, but it has nothing to do with the article's main page status.
To be clear: with the exception of AfD tagging, there is no policy stating that tags cannot be added to articles that are linked from the main page. rʨanaɢ (talk) 01:28, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
- Oh, hi, Rjanag, as I have already told user:Beeblebrox besides policies and rules for that matter there should be some common sense too. Only robots act with accordance with the policies only. Humans have to exercise some common scene at least once in a while. I know it seems hard, but please do try it. I am sure you will like the feeling :-) user:Beeblebrox got insulted over my comment about common sense and "Period"I wish I knew what was more insulting "common sense" or "Period" or both Anyway user:Beeblebrox's insult made me to realize that user:Beeblebrox is missing not only common sense, but also a sense of humor :-) Beeblebrox, I am joking, please do not get insulted :-)
- Now, you, Rjanag, you are different. You liked the comment I left at your talk page after you without looking into subject tagged the Main Page's article. You even called my comment "lovely" :-). I guess you loved it so much that you "forgot" to mention that I reverted my "lovely message" a few minutes after it was posted. May I please ask you to let me know, if you'd like me to put it back?
