In looking at Wikipedia and WikiHow we find their archive articles are dated. We know that we are in our infancy but we want to feature new articles much more often than we have been, as I looked at the the history of this archive it seems to be  desires to go back to what was done in early April of 2010 with dates and boxed articles because there will come a time shortly when we are adding new articles much more often. Can someone help us go to that again? Much Thanks, [[User:HoleDL|Dawne]] 18:41, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

:Hi Dawne, I agree, I think it is useful to show when the articles were featured on the main page. I will rework the page using the layout last used in April 2010. --[[User:Cottrells|Steve]] 16:36, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

:We'd like to feature the page view count on the archive page, not the talk page. So, how can we edit the Archive page so that more detail can be added to the daily changes in featured articles. We are tracking what the page view count was on the day the article was featured and what was the page view count on the day the article was removed from the Main page as a featured article? Since we are changing featured articles on a daily basis, the Archive page should probably be changed to a daily view of what was featured on a given day. --[[User:JensenFA|Fran]] 15:09, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
