James and Margret Reed of the Donner Party
James and Margret Reed of the Donner Party

The Donner Party was a group of American pioneers who set out for California in a wagon train, but became snowbound in the Sierra Nevada mountains in November 1846. Running out of food, some resorted to cannibalism to survive. The journey west usually took between four and six months, but the Donner Party had been slowed by following a new route called the Hastings Cutoff, which crossed the Rocky Mountains' Wasatch Range and the Great Salt Lake Desert in present-day Utah. They lost many cattle and wagons in the rugged terrain, and divisions formed within the group. Their food supplies ran low after they became trapped by an early, heavy snowfall high in the mountains. In mid-December some of the group set out on foot and were able to obtain help. Of the 87 members of the party, 48 survived to reach California. Historians have described the episode as one of the most spectacular tragedies in California history. (Full article...)

    Alan Turing
    Alan Turing

    The Turing Award is an annual prize given by the Association for Computing Machinery for contributions of lasting and major technical importance to computer science. It is generally recognized as the highest distinction in the field of computer science and is often referred to as the "Nobel Prize of Computing". The award is named after Alan Turing (pictured), who was a British mathematician and reader in mathematics at the University of Manchester. Turing is often credited as being the founder of theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence, and a key contributor to the Allied cryptanalysis of the Enigma cipher during World War II. The first recipient, in 1966, was Alan Perlis of Carnegie Mellon University. The youngest recipient was Donald Knuth, who won in 1974 at the age of 36, while the oldest recipient was Alfred Aho, who won in 2020 at the age of 79. As of 2024, 77 people have been awarded the Turing Prize. (Full list...)

    Laothoe populi

    Laothoe populi, the poplar hawk-moth, is a moth of the family Sphingidae. The species is found throughout the Palearctic realm and the Near East, and is one of the most common members of the family in the region. On first hatching, the larvae are pale green with small yellow tubercules and a cream-coloured tail horn, at which point they are known as hornworms. They later develop yellow diagonal stripes on the sides, and pink spiracles. This photograph, taken in Saint-Quentin-en-Tourmont, France, shows a late instar of L. populi.

    550 Madison Avenue

    550 Madison Avenue is a postmodern skyscraper on Madison Avenue between 55th Street and 56th Street in New York City. Designed by Philip Johnson and John Burgee with associate architect Simmons Architects, the building was completed in 1984. It is a 647-foot-tall (197-meter), 37-story office tower with a facade made of pink granite. It was originally the headquarters of AT&T Corp., which relocated from 195 Broadway, the company's previous headquarters. Following the breakup of the Bell System in 1982, AT&T spun off subsidiary corporations and never occupied the entire building as it had originally intended. The building later became the American headquarters of Sony. An annex to the west was demolished and replaced in the early 2020s. Opinion of the building has been mixed ever since its design was first announced in March 1978. The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission designated the building's exterior as a landmark in 2018. (Full article...)

    HMS Malabar (1818)

    HMS Malabar was a 74-gun ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched in 1818 at Bombay Dockyard. In 1838, Malabar ran aground off Prince Edward Island in British North America and was damaged, with the loss of two crew members. She was refloated later that year and towed into Three Rivers in Lower Canada. In August 1843, Malabar, under the command of Sir George Sartorius, assisted in fighting a fire that destroyed the United States Navy sidewheel frigate USS Missouri at Gibraltar, taking aboard about 200 of that ship's survivors. Malabar was converted to a hulk in 1848, eventually becoming a coal hulk, and was renamed Myrtle in 1883. The hulk was sold out of the navy in 1905. This lithograph from around 1843 shows the crew of Malabar watching as Missouri explodes and burns in the distance.

    Reverse of the double sovereign
    Reverse of the double sovereign

    The double sovereign is a gold coin of the United Kingdom with a nominal value of two pounds sterling (£2). It features the reigning monarch on its obverse and, most often, Benedetto Pistrucci's depiction of Saint George and the Dragon on the reverse (pictured). It was rarely issued in the first century and a half after its debut in 1820, usually in a new monarch's coronation year or to mark the institution of a new coinage portrait of the monarch. In addition to the usual coinage in Britain, specimens were struck at Australia's Sydney Mint in 1887 and 1902. Most often struck as a proof coin, the double sovereign has been issued for circulation in only four years, and few examples worn from commercial use are known. It is now a collector and bullion coin, and has been struck by the Royal Mint most years since 1980. In some years, it has not been issued and the Royal Mint instead placed gold versions of the commemorative £2 piece in the annual gold proof sets. (Full article...)

    Cone of a Douglas fir

    The Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) is an evergreen conifer species in the pine family, Pinaceae, which is native to western North America. The trees grow to a height of around 20 to 100 metres (70 to 330 feet) and commonly reach 2.4 metres (8 feet) in diameter. The largest coast Douglas firs regularly live for more than 500 years, with the oldest specimens more than 1,300 years old. The cones are pendulous and differ from true firs as they have persistent scales. The cones have distinctive long, trifid (three-pointed) bracts, which protrude prominently above each scale. The cones become tan when mature, measuring 6 to 10 centimetres (2+1⁄2 to 4 inches) long for coastal Douglas firs. This photograph shows a young female cone of the variety Pseudotsuga menziesii var. glauca (Rocky Mountain Douglas-fir), cultivated near Keila, Estonia.

    American Cemetery, where the film's opening and closing scenes are set

    Saving Private Ryan is a 1998 American epic war film directed by Steven Spielberg and written by Robert Rodat. Set in 1944 in France during World War II, it follows a group of soldiers, led by Captain John Miller (Tom Hanks), on their mission to locate Private James Francis Ryan (Matt Damon), who is to be brought home after his three brothers are killed in action. Inspired by the books of Stephen E. Ambrose and accounts of the deaths of members of a single family such as the Niland brothers, Rodat drafted the script and Paramount Pictures hired him to finish the writing. Spielberg wanted to make Saving Private Ryan as authentic as possible, and hired Frank Darabont and Scott Frank to perform uncredited rewrites based on research and interviews with veterans. The cast went through a week-long boot camp to understand the soldier experience. Filming took place from June to September 1997 in England and Ireland. Saving Private Ryan earned critical acclaim for its graphic portrayal of combat. (Full article...)

    Martial eagle

    The martial eagle (Polemaetus bellicosus) is a large eagle native to sub-Saharan Africa. A species of the booted eagle subfamily (Aquilinae), it has feathering over its tarsus. One of the largest and most powerful species of booted eagle, it is a fairly opportunistic predator that varies its prey selection between mammals, birds and reptiles. It is one of a few eagle species known to hunt primarily from a high soar, by stooping on its quarry. Currently, the species is classified as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. This martial eagle was photographed in the Matetsi safari area in Zimbabwe.

    Munsey's Magazine was an American magazine founded by Frank Munsey in 1889. Originally launched in 1889 as Munsey's Weekly, it became an illustrated monthly in 1891, printing both fiction and non-fiction. In 1893 the price was reduced from 25 to 10 cents and circulation rose to more than 250,000 issues. The same year Munsey became one of the first publishers to regularly feature a pretty girl on the cover. Circulation was also helped by the liberal use of illustrations, and reached a peak of about 700,000 in 1897, declining in the 1910s. Well-known writers appeared, including O. Henry, Arthur Conan Doyle, Edgar Rice Burroughs, P. G. Wodehouse, and Joseph Conrad. In 1929 it was merged with Argosy, another of Munsey's magazines. Magazine historians consider Munsey's to have started a revolution in magazine publishing by setting a low price to increase circulation, and attracting sufficient advertising revenue to make a substantial profit. Other magazines quickly followed the example of Munsey's. (Full article...)

    The premier of Victoria is the head of government in the state of Victoria, Australia. The premier leads the Cabinet of Victoria and selects its ministers to lead government. The premier is appointed by the governor of Victoria and is usually the leader of the political party that has a majority of members of the Victorian Legislative Assembly. Elections are held every four years, on the last Saturday in November, and no term limits are imposed on the role. Currently, the premier is paid a total salary of A$481,190. Premiers who hold the office for more than 3,000 days are entitled to a statue, a milestone six premiers have achieved, however only four have had their statues erected. Since the role's establishment in 1855, there have been 49 premiers. The longest-serving premier was Henry Bolte of the Liberal Party, who served for more than 17 years. The shortest-serving premier, George Elmslie, served for only 13 days. The current premier, Jacinta Allan (pictured) of the Labor Party, assumed office on 27 September 2023. (Full list...)

    Bill Newton

    Bill Newton (8 June 1919 – 29 March 1943) was an Australian recipient of the Victoria Cross, honoured for his actions as a bomber pilot in Papua New Guinea during March 1943. Raised in Melbourne, he joined the Citizen Military Forces in 1938 and enlisted in the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) in February 1940. He served as a flying instructor in Australia before being posted to No. 22 Squadron, which began operating Boston light bombers in New Guinea late in 1942. Having just taken part in the Battle of the Bismarck Sea, he was on his fifty-second mission when he was shot down. Newton was still posted as missing when given the Victoria Cross in October 1943. It later emerged that he was captured by the Japanese and beheaded. Newton was the only Australian airman to receive a Victoria Cross for action in the South West Pacific theatre of World War II, and the sole Australian to be so decorated while flying with an RAAF squadron.

    Mos Def

    The Ecstatic is the fourth album by American rapper Mos Def (pictured), released by Downtown Records on June 9, 2009. Singer Georgia Anne Muldrow and rappers Slick Rick and Talib Kweli were guest vocalists. The album has been described by music journalists as a conscious and alternative hip hop record. Mos Def's raps about global politics, love, spirituality, and social conditions are informed by Black internationalism and pan-Islamic ideas. The album's loosely structured, lightly reverbed songs use unconventional time signatures and samples taken from Afrobeat, soul, Eurodance, jazz, reggae, Latin, and Middle Eastern music. The Ecstatic charted at number nine on the Billboard 200 in its first week of release and eventually sold 168,000 copies. A widespread critical success, The Ecstatic was viewed as a return to form for Mos Def and one of the year's best albums. He performed concerts to support the record in North America, Japan, Australia, and the United Kingdom. (Full article...)

    Marasmius rotula

    Marasmius rotula, the pinwheel mushroom, is a fungus in the family Marasmiaceae. Widespread in the Northern Hemisphere, it was first described scientifically in 1772 by Giovanni Antonio Scopoli. The mushrooms are characterized by thin whitish caps up to 2.0 cm (0.8 in) wide that are sunken in the center and pleated with scalloped margins. The wiry black hollow stalks measure up to 8.0 cm (3.1 in) long by 1.5 mm (0.06 in) thick. On the underside of the caps are widely spaced white gills, attached to a collar encircling the stalk. The mushrooms grow in groups or clusters on decaying wood such as moss-covered logs and stumps. Spore release is dependent upon sufficient moisture. Dried mushrooms may revive after rehydrating and release spores for up to three weeks, much longer than most gilled mushrooms. Although the mushrooms are not generally considered edible, they produce a unique peroxidase enzyme that is attracting research interest for use in bioengineering applications. (Full article...)

    Ronald Reagan

    Ronald Reagan (1911–2004) was an American politician and actor who served as the 40th president of the United States from 1981 to 1989. Reagan graduated from Eureka College in 1932 and began to work as a sports broadcaster in Iowa. In 1937, he moved to California, and became a well-known film actor there. From 1947 to 1952, and from 1959 to 1960, Reagan served as the president of the Screen Actors Guild. He was defeated in his run for the Republican presidential nomination in the 1968 election as well as the 1976 election, but won both the nomination and election in 1980 election. As president, Reagan implemented new political initiatives as well as economic policies, advocating a laissez-faire philosophy, but the extent to which these ideas were implemented is debatable. The policies, dubbed "Reaganomics", included substantial tax cuts implemented in 1981. (Full article...)

    Interior of Incapillo

    Incapillo is a Pleistocene-age caldera – a depression formed by the collapse of a volcano – in La Rioja Province, Argentina. It is part of the southernmost volcanic centre in the Andean Central Volcanic Zone (CVZ). Subduction of the Nazca Plate beneath the South American Plate is responsible for most of the volcanism in the CVZ. Volcanism commenced in the Incapillo region 6.5 million years ago, forming the high volcanic edifices of Monte Pissis, Cerro Bonete Chico and Sierra de Veladero. Incapillo is known to have erupted the Incapillo ignimbrite 0.52 ± 0.03 and 0.51 ± 0.04 million years ago; this has a total volume of about 20.4 cubic kilometres (4.9 cu mi). A caldera with dimensions of 5 by 6 kilometres (3.1 mi × 3.7 mi) formed during the eruptions. Later volcanism generated more lava domes within the caldera and a debris flow in the Sierra de Veladero. The lake within the caldera may overlie an area of ongoing hydrothermal activity. (Full article...)

    Oceanic whitetip shark

    A oceanic whitetip shark swimming near a diver

    The oceanic whitetip shark is a large pelagic requiem shark inhabiting tropical and warm temperate seas. It has a stocky body with long, white-tipped, rounded fins. The species is typically solitary, though they may gather in large numbers at food concentrations. Bony fish and cephalopods are the main components of its diet. Females give live birth after a gestation period of nine to twelve months. Though slow-moving, it is opportunistic and aggressive, reputed to be dangerous to shipwreck survivors. Up to the 16th century, mariners noted that this species was the most common ship-following shark. The IUCN Red List considers the species to be Critically Endangered, with a decline in every ocean region they inhabit. Recent studies show steeply declining populations as they are harvested for their fins and meat. As with other shark species, the whitetip faces mounting fishing pressure throughout its range.

    • Main editors: Yomangani
    • Promoted: August 21, 2006
    • Reasons for nomination: Suggesting a fish article since one hasn't run in several months. This would be a TFA re-run from 2007. Seems to be in good shape. No preference on what date it runs or if it is delayed to subsequent months.

    Darkness on the Edge of Town

    Bruce Springsteen in 1981
    Bruce Springsteen in 1981

    Darkness on the Edge of Town is the fourth studio album by the American singer-songwriter Bruce Springsteen, released on June 2, 1978, by Columbia Records. The album was recorded during sessions in New York City with the E Street Band from June 1977 to March 1978, after a series of legal disputes between Springsteen and his former manager Mike Appel. Darkness musically strips the Wall of Sound production of its predecessor, Born to Run, for a rawer hard rock sound emphasizing the band as a whole. The lyrics focus on ill-fortuned characters who fight back against overwhelming odds. Released three years after Born to Run, Darkness did not sell as well as its predecessor but reached number five in the U.S. Critics initially praised the album's music and performances but were divided on the lyrical content. In recent decades, Darkness has attracted acclaim as one of Springsteen's best works and has appeared on lists of the greatest albums of all time. (Full article...)

    • Coordinator comment While I agree that the Trainor album is the last similar album to run, we do have another record album nomination for June 9. I'm not sure I'm justified in running both. I don't consider the June 9 to have dibs because it got here first. I would welcome comments from the community on which should be run.--Wehwalt (talk) 11:10, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
      • Wehwalt, I see that this isn't on your rough draft for June. FWIW, I'd be happy to run it in July. - Dank (push to talk) 15:46, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
    It isn't, but it can easily be rearranged.--Wehwalt (talk) 16:09, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
    • Dank had intended to run Darkness in January 2024 but I asked if it could wait til June, which they said was ok here (for a little background on why I'm nominating it for TFA now). – zmbro (talk) (cont) 18:03, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
    • Support. For what it is worth, I don't see a 1970's rock album and a 2000's rap album to be that much in competition that they could or should not be run in the same month. We have done worse. If it is felt that they should not both appear in the same month - an entirely reasonable view - then to me it is a coin toss as to which to go with. (I realise that this is not very helpful, sorry.) Gog the Mild (talk) 11:31, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

    Hypericum sechmenii

    Flowers of Hypericum sechmenii

    Hypericum sechmenii, or Seçmen's St John's wort, is a rare species of flowering plant in the St John's wort family (Hypericaceae) that is found in Eskişehir Province of central Turkey. It was first described and assigned to the genus Hypericum in 2009, and was later placed into the section Adenosepalum. H. sechmenii is a perennial herb that grows 3–6 centimeters (1–2 inches) tall and blooms in June and July. The stems of the plant are smooth and lack hairs, while the leaves are leathery and lack leafstalks. Its flowers are arranged in corymbs, and each has five bright yellow petals. Similar species to Hypericum sechmenii are H. huber-morathii, H. minutum, and H. thymopsis. Found among limestone rocks, H. sechmenii has an estimated distribution of less than 10 square kilometers, with fewer than 250 surviving plants. Despite containing druse crystals and toxic chemicals that may deter herbivory, the species is threatened by overgrazing, climate change, and habitat loss. (Full article...)

      • I'm sorry, I know this was your first FA but I'm not going to run a flower article at TFA with no image; that wouldn't look right at all. If there's no image available for this species, then let's run a different Featured Article species. (It's possible one of the other coords would be willing to run it in August or September ... I'm not a fan of that option, but it wouldn't be my call. We can ask them if you like.) - Dank (push to talk) 15:35, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
      • Dank, no worries, I'll keep it tabled until I'm able to get someone to release a free image. Haven't had any luck with that so far, but still holding out hope! Fritzmann (message me) 15:53, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
        • Sure. We caught this early enough that we don't need to fail the nomination, I'll just remove it from TFAR. Btw, any image that works for other people here at WP:TFAR will work for me ... could be an image of the habitat or the person honored with the name or any other person associated ... but botany is an intensely visual subject, there has to be some image there. - Dank (push to talk) 15:59, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
    Rocky hills near Kaymaz like these are the habitat of Hypericum sechmenii

    Dank, this may be a long shot, but would something like the image on the right work? It shows a simulacrum of the species' habitat; they aren't in the actual image, but it represents the location and type of habitat the plant is found in. Regardless, I think I'll include it in the article since that illustration helps, so thank you for the idea! And in a happy coincidence, the image was uploaded to commons less than a month ago. Fritzmann (message me) 16:10, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

    So, the habitat of the species has been getting smaller ... I know the species doesn't grow in Kaymaz now, but was it ever growing in or near Kaymaz? - Dank (push to talk) 16:16, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
    Yes, a collection from 2011 stated it was found in "Rocks near Kaymaz", and a cross-reference with the coordinates on Google Maps puts the image's geolocation relatively close to the collection sites, if a few hills over. Fritzmann (message me) 16:20, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
    Works for me, I've reverted myself; this is back at TFAR. Of course, we don't have to go with that image if you find one you like better. - Dank (push to talk) 16:36, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

    Relief of a[ Seated Vishnu at the Badami cave temples

    The political history of medieval Karnataka spans the 4th–16th centuries CE in the Karnataka region of India. In the 4th century, the Kadamba Dynasty of Banavasi were the earliest of the native rulers to conduct administration in the Kannada language. In south Karnataka, the Western Gangas of Talakad were contemporaries of the Kadambas. These were followed by the Badami Chalukya Empire, the Rashtrakuta Empire, the Western Chalukya Empire, the Hoysala Empire and the Vijayanagara Empire, all patronising the Hindu religion while showing tolerance to the new cultures arriving from the west. The Muslim invasion of the Deccan resulted in the breaking away of the feudatory sultanates in the 14th century. The rule of the Bahamani Sultanate of Bidar and the Bijapur Sultanate caused a mingling of Hindu traditions with Islamic culture in the region. The fall of the Vijayanagara Empire in 1565 brought about a slow disintegration of Kannada-speaking regions into minor kingdoms that struggled to maintain autonomy. (Full article...)

  • Support, although the blurb needs to shed 8 - or more - characters. Gog the Mild (talk) 19:54, 6 July 2022 (UTC)
  • Strong oppose, @Sheila1988 and Gog the Mild: What does the medieval precolonial history of a region in India have to do with the Republic of India's independence from Great Britain in 1947? Nothing whatsoever in my humble view. Please find another date. I want to propose Darjeeling instead, which is in the last stages of the FAR. It was first featured in 2006, had a TFA appearance in 2009, was successfully FAR'd in 2010, and it is the last stages of its second FAR, for which it has been entirely re-written. It has relevance to both the colonial history of India, being the paradigmatic example of a hill station, the summer mountain resort town of mature colonial rule in India, also the summer capital of the Bengal Presidency, and the still unfulfilled aspirations of the region's people for separate statehood. It is no contest by any tenet of Wikipedia. The Karnata article has had no FAR since it was promoted in 2007. There is significant overlap with my FA Political history of Mysore and Coorg (1565–1760) (successfully FAR'd last year, but already made a TFA, and I'm not asking for a repeat for that). You can take a look at Darjeeling and see the difference. Fowler&fowler«Talk» 19:05, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
    • PS I have just realized that it was written by a (since retired WPian) who had a history (in my humble view) of boostering that region in dozens of articles. I don't think this medieval history article is at all reliable. Sorry. Fowler&fowler«Talk» 19:18, 11 July 2022 (UTC)

    Mist enshrouded on most days, the world's third highest mountain, Kangchenjunga is unforgettable behind Darjeeling when the mist lifts.

    Darjeeling is a town in the Eastern Himalayas in India on the slopes below which Darjeeling tea is grown as far as the eye can see. Up those same slopes, ascending some 7,000 feet every day, the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway gives tourists the experience of late industrial-age steam travel. Both exist because in the early 19th century during East India Company rule in India, Darjeeling was self-consciously founded as a summer retreat for the British. Not just the cottages, the tea and the train, but residential schools for the children of domiciled British soon came to dot Darjeeling's hills. In order to make this possible, thousands of labourers were brought in from the surrounding kingdoms. Their descendants, who constitute the vast majority of Darjeeling's residents, have given the town a cosmopolitan ethnicity. In their many neighbourhoods which fringe the town at lesser heights and lower incomes, the Nepali language has found a home outside Nepal and the Tibetan language outside Tibet. Their goal for economic well-being and political identity is the unmade tryst with destiny that India self-consciously pondered on its first independence day this day 75 years ago. (Full article...)

    Political history of medieval Karnataka

    Kadamba Empire, 500 CE
    Kadamba Empire, 500 CE

    The political history of medieval Karnataka spans the 4th–16th centuries CE in the Karnataka region of India. In the 4th century, the Kadamba Dynasty of Banavasi were the earliest of the native rulers to conduct administration in the Kannada language. In south Karnataka, the Western Gangas of Talakad were contemporaries of the Kadambas. These were followed by the Badami Chalukya Empire, the Rashtrakuta Empire, the Western Chalukya Empire, the Hoysala Empire and the Vijayanagara Empire, all patronising the Hindu religion while showing tolerance to the new cultures arriving from the west. The Muslim invasion of the Deccan resulted in the breaking away of the feudatory sultanates in the 14th century. The rule of the Bahamani Sultanate of Bidar and the Bijapur Sultanate caused a mingling of Hindu traditions with Islamic culture in the region. The fall of the Vijayanagara Empire in 1565 brought about a slow disintegration of Kannada-speaking regions into minor kingdoms that struggled to maintain autonomy. (Full article...)

    Gill, c. 1910s

    DeLancey W. Gill (1859–1940) was an American drafter, landscape painter, and photographer. When he was a teenager, rather than travelling west with his mother and stepfather, he moved in with an aunt in Washington, D.C. Here, he eventually found himself employed as an architectural draftsman for the Treasury. He created sketches and watercolor paintings of the capital city, with a particular focus on the still-undeveloped rural and poorer areas of the district. While working as an illustrator for the Smithsonian's Bureau of American Ethnology in the 1890s, he was appointed as the agency's photographer without prior photographic training. He took portrait photographs of thousands of Native American delegates to Washington, including notable figures such as Chief Joseph and Geronimo. Although his photographs widely circulated, they have come under modern criticism for his frequent use of props and clothing given to Native American delegates, at times outdated or from a different tribe.

    Thomas Cranmer

    Portrait of Thomas Cranmer in 1545

    Thomas Cranmer was a leader of the English Reformation and Archbishop of Canterbury. He helped build the case for the annulment of Henry VIII's marriage to Catherine of Aragon, a cause of the separation of the English Church from the Holy See. He established the first doctrinal and liturgical structures of the Church of England and published the Exhortation and Litany. When Edward VI was king, Cranmer published the Book of Common Prayer, changed doctrine or discipline in several areas, and promulgated the new doctrines through the Homilies. Upon the accession Mary I, Cranmer was put on trial for treason and heresy. While imprisoned he made several recantations and reconciled himself with the Catholic Church. Mary wanted him executed, so he was burned at the stake and withdrew his recantations. Cranmer's death was immortalised in Foxe's Book of Martyrs and his legacy continues through the Book of Common Prayer and the Thirty-Nine Articles. (Full article...)

    July 2009 Ürümqi riots

    Footage of the first day of the riots

    Riots began on 5 July 2009 in Ürümqi, the capital city of Xinjiang in northwestern China. It started as a protest that escalated into violent attacks mostly targeting Han people. According to Chinese state media, 197 people died with 1,721 others injured and many vehicles and buildings destroyed. Sseveral Uyghurs disappeared during police sweeps following the riots; Human Rights Watch documented 43 cases but said the figure was likely higher. Chinese media coverage of the riots was extensive and compared favourably by foreign media to the unrest in Tibet in 2008. In the weeks that followed, official sources reported that over 1,000 people were arrested while Uyghur-run mosques were temporarily closed. Communication limitations and an armed police presence remained for several months. By November 2009, over 400 individuals faced criminal charges for their actions during the riots. By February 2010, at least 26 had received death sentences. (Full article...)

    • @Mujinga: MOS:CITELEDE doesn't prohibit citations in the lede, although it might be excessive in this article. I think the citations are there because of the controversy surrounding this topic area and the editors who wrote this article wanted to avoid uncited information from being removed from the lede, even if it is cited later in the article. It's also an older article (2010) and since then there has been a heightened expectation to removed citations from the lede when possible.

    • I don't really disagree with what you said, but then I'll move to oppose, because many citations in the lead (perhaps indeed to prevent an edit war 15 years ago) and an aftermath section which doesn't really go beyond 2010 make me think this article isn't ready for the frontpage without a bit of updating.

    Tales of Monkey Island is a graphic adventure video game developed by Telltale Games under license from LucasArts. It is the fifth game in the Monkey Island series, released a decade after the previous installment. The game was released in five episodic segments between July and December 2009. Players assume the role of Guybrush Threepwood who releases a voodoo pox and seeks a cure. The game was conceived in late 2008 due to renewed interest in adventure game development within LucasArts. Production began in early 2009, led by Dave Grossman (pictured). It received generally positive reviews, with praise for the game's story, writing, humor, voice acting and characterization. Complaints focused on the quality of the game's puzzle design, a weak supporting cast in the early chapters, and the game's control system. Tales of Monkey Island garnered several industry awards and was Telltale's most commercially successful project until Back to the Future: The Game. (Full article...)

    Still Reigning is a live performance DVD by the thrash metal band Slayer, released in 2004 through American Recordings. Filmed at the Augusta Civic Center on July 11, 2004, the performance showcases Slayer's 1986 album, Reign in Blood, played in its entirety with the four original band members on a set resembling their 1986 "Reign in Pain" tour. Still Reigning was voted "best live DVD" by the readers of Revolver magazine, and received gold certification in 2005. In the finale, the band is covered in stage blood while performing the song "Raining Blood", leading to a demanding mixing process plagued by production and technical difficulties. The DVD's producer Kevin Shirley spent hours replacing cymbal and drum hits one-by-one. He publicly aired his financial disagreements with the band and criticized the quality of the recording; this caused him to be subjected to threats and insults from people associated with the band.

    Greece celebrating their win

    The UEFA Euro 2004 final was the final match of Euro 2004, the 12th European Championship, organised by UEFA for the senior men's national teams of its member associations. The match was played at the Estádio da Luz in Lisbon, Portugal, and contested by Portugal and Greece. The two defences ensured that goal-scoring opportunities were limited, and the score was 0–0 at half-time. Greece scored the only goal of the match after 57 minutes when Angelos Basinas took a corner kick to Angelos Charisteas, who sent a header past goalkeeper Ricardo. Several pundits labelled Greece's tournament win the greatest upset in the history of the European Championship, with their pre-tournament bookmaker odds at 150–1. Greece subsequently failed to qualify for the 2006 FIFA World Cup and did not successfully defend their European Championship in 2008. Portugal eventually won the European Championship in 2016.

    Automatic tube loader of B Reactor at the Hanford Engineer Works

    The Hanford Engineer Works (HEW) was a nuclear production complex in Benton County, Washington, established in 1943 as part of the Manhattan Project during World War II. Plutonium manufactured at the HEW was used in the atomic bomb detonated in the Trinity test on 16 July 1945, and the Fat Man bomb used in the bombing of Nagasaki on 9 August 1945. DuPont was the prime contractor for its design, construction and operation. The land acquisition was one of the largest in US history. Construction commenced in March 1943, and the construction workforce reached a peak of nearly 45,000 workers in June 1944. B Reactor, the world's first full-scale plutonium production nuclear reactor, went critical in September 1944, followed by D and F reactors in December 1944 and February 1945 respectively. The HEW suffered an outage on 10 March 1945 due to a Japanese balloon bomb. The total cost of the HEW up to December 1946 was over $348 million (equivalent to $4.1 billion in 2023).

    John D. Whitney (1850–1917) was an American Catholic priest and Jesuit who was the president of Georgetown University from 1898 to 1901. Born in Massachusetts, he joined the United States Navy at the age of sixteen, where he acquired a book that had fallen overboard, which began his conversion to Catholicism. He entered the Society of Jesus in 1872 and spent the next twenty-five years studying and teaching mathematics at Jesuit institutions in Canada, England, Ireland, and around the United States. He became the vice president of Spring Hill College in Alabama before becoming the president of Georgetown University. He oversaw the completion of Gaston Hall, construction of the entrances to Healy Hall, and the establishment of Georgetown University Hospital and what would become the School of Dentistry. Afterwards, Whitney became the treasurer of Boston College and then engaged in pastoral work in Philadelphia, Brooklyn, and Baltimore, where he became the prefect of St. Ignatius Church.

    Phoolan Devi (1963–2001), popularly known as the Bandit Queen, was an Indian dacoit (bandit) who later became a politician. She was a woman of the Mallah subcaste who grew up in poverty in the state of Uttar Pradesh, where her parents lost a land dispute. After being married off at the age of eleven and being sexually abused by various people, she joined a gang of dacoits which robbed higher-caste villages and held up trains and vehicles. When she became its leader, she punished her rapists and evaded capture by the authorities, making her a heroine for the Other Backward Classes. She was charged in absentia for the 1981 Behmai massacre, in which twenty Thakur men were executed, allegedly on her command. After this event, the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh resigned, and calls to apprehend her were amplified. She surrendered two years later and spent eleven years in Gwalior prison awaiting trial, then was released in 1994 after her charges were set aside. She was subsequently elected as a member of parliament for the Samajwadi Party in 1996. She lost her seat in 1998 and regained it the following year; she was the incumbent in 2001, when she was assassinated outside her home in New Delhi. Her worldwide fame had grown after the release of the controversial 1994 film Bandit Queen, which she did not approve of. There are varying accounts of her life because she told differing versions to suit her changing circumstances. (Full article...)

    The Aston Martin DB9 is a two-door grand touring car produced by the British automaker Aston Martin from 2004 until it was discontinued on 27 July 2016. Commencing production in January 2004 for the coupe version and February 2005 for the convertible version, the latter termed the "Volante", the DB9 was designed by Ian Callum and Henrik Fisker. The DB9 succeeds the DB7, which Aston Martin produced from 1994 to 2004. The car's chassis is composed of aluminium and composite materials melded together by various different techniques. Aston Martin, in 2008 and 2010, implemented minor alterations to the DB9's exterior and engine. But in 2013, the most significant update was made, with the car's most prominent adjustments lying in its front fascia. The DB9 was adapted for Aston Martin Racing in the form of the "DBR9" and the "DBRS9", both introduced in 2005. To commemorate to discontinuation of the DB9, Aston Martin released the "DB9 GT" in 2015. (Full article...)

    SMS Bodrog on the Danube river in 1914

    The Yugoslav monitor Sava was a river monitor built for the Austro-Hungarian Navy as SMS Bodrog. She and two other monitors fired the first shots of World War I in the early hours of 29 July 1914, when they shelled Serbian defences near Belgrade. During the war, she fought the Serbian and Romanian armies, and was captured in its closing stages. She was transferred to the newly created Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (later Yugoslavia), and renamed Sava. During the Axis invasion of Yugoslavia in April 1941, she fought off several air attacks, but was scuttled on 11 April. Sava was later raised by the Axis puppet state, the Independent State of Croatia, and continued to serve under that name until 1944 when she was again scuttled. Following World War II, Sava was raised again, and was refurbished to serve in the Yugoslav Navy from 1952 to 1962. After that she became a gravel barge, but was later restored and opened as a floating museum in November 2021. (Full article...)

    Today's featured list submissions

    This star symbolizes the featured content on Wikipedia.
    This star symbolizes the featured content on Wikipedia.

    Lists suggested here must be featured lists that have not previously appeared on the main page.

    Today's featured list launched in June 2011, initially on each Monday. In January 2014 it was agreed to expand to appear twice a week. The lists will be selected by the FL director, based on the consensus of the community.

    To submit a list for main page consideration, you simply need to draft a short summary of the list, in approximately 1000 characters, along with a relevant image from the list itself, using the template provided below. Should you need any assistance using the template, feel free to ask for help on the talk page. If you are nominating a list submitted by someone else, consider notifying the significant contributor(s) with {{subst:tfln|NAME OF LIST}} ~~~~

    The community will review submissions, and suggest improvements where appropriate. If a blurb receives broad support, and there are no actionable objections, one of the directors will confirm that it has been accepted for main page submission. Please note there should be no more than fifteen nominations listed here at any one time.

    In rare circumstances, the directors reserve the right to exclude a list from main page consideration, a practice consistent with other main page sections such as Today's featured article and Picture of the day. Should this ever happen, a detailed explanation will be given.

    List of Colorado ballot measures

    A Colorado woman campaigns for women's suffrage
    A Colorado woman campaigns for women's suffrage

    The U.S. state of Colorado has had a system of direct voting since gaining statehood in 1876. Citizens and the Colorado General Assembly both have the ability to place new legislation, those recently passed by the General Assembly, and constitutional amendments on the ballot for a popular vote. Colorado has three types of ballot measures that can be voted on in a statewide election: initiatives, referendums, and legislatively referred measures. The first successful citizen-initiated measures were passed in 1912. Since that time, ballot measures have played a major role in Colorado politics. After Denver was awarded the hosting rights to the 1976 Winter Olympics, citizens moved to block funding the games with a ballot measure in 1972. A 1990 ballot measure instituting term limits for many elected officials helped galvanize a nationwide movement for term limits, and 2000's Amendment 20 legalized the medical use of marijuana. That measure was followed by full decriminalization in 2012 and the decriminalization of psilocybin mushrooms in 2022. (Full list...)

    I would suggest August 1, 2024 to coincide with Colorado's 148th anniversary of statehood. ThadeusOfNazereth(he/him)Talk to Me! 12:19, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

    @ThadeusOfNazereth: Note that August 1 is a Thursday; this could be run on August 2 (Friday) instead, or postponed to next year when August 1 is a Friday since it seems like this is lining up with just a "regular" anniversary instead of a "major" anniversary (like 20 years, 50, 100, etc.). RunningTiger123 (talk) 20:46, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
    @RunningTiger123: Thanks for the ping. I'd rather it run sooner rather than later so I am fine with August 2, 2024. In 52 years I'll make sure to renominate for the 200th anniversary, though! ThadeusOfNazereth(he/him)Talk to Me!

    AC/DC in 2009

    Australian rock band AC/DC have released 18 studio albums, two soundtrack albums, three live albums, one extended play, 57 singles and two box sets. Brothers Angus (lead guitar) and Malcolm Young (rhythm guitar) formed AC/DC in 1973. The band released two albums in Australasia before issuing their first international album, High Voltage (1976); the Youngs had been joined by vocalist Bon Scott, bass guitarist Mark Evans and drummer Phil Rudd. In 1980, Scott died and was replaced by English singer Brian Johnson, with whom the band released their second best-selling album, Back in Black, to which it sold 50 million copies worldwide. Their fifteenth studio album Black Ice (2008), reached number one in 29 countries. In 50 years of their career, AC/DC have sold over 200 million albums worldwide; roughly 100 million in the United States. Their most certified singles in the US are "You Shook Me All Night Long" and "Back in Black" – each have received 3× platinum from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in 2019. In Australia, "Thunderstruck" was accredited 10× platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) in 2022. (Full list...)

    My first featured list ever! I would like to suggest that this list should be listed on July 22, 2024, as it will be their 50th anniversary of their release of their first single "Can I Sit Next to You, Girl". — VAUGHAN J. (t · c) 23:31, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

    List of birds of New Brunswick

    A black-capped chickadee, the provincial bird of New Brunswick
    A black-capped chickadee, the provincial bird of New Brunswick

    The Canadian province of New Brunswick has 441 species of birds. The Maritime province lies within the Appalachian Mountain range and is largely covered by temperate broadleaf and mixed forests, with the northern part of the province also containing boreal forest. These ecosystems contribute to the diversity of birds in the province. Additionally, the Atlantic Flyway passes through New Brunswick's coast, with areas within the Bay of Fundy such as the Shepody Bay significantly contributing to the variety of bird species that breed in or migrate through the province. Of the 441 species, 94 are accidentals, 55 are noted as rare as defined by the New Brunswick Bird Records Committee (NBBRC), eight were introduced to North America, three are extinct and another is possibly extinct. (Full list...)

    First featured list! I'd like to suggest August 5, 2024 (Monday) to coincide with "New Brunswick Day" AKA New Brunswick's Civic Holiday, which is held annually on the first Monday in August. B3251 (talk) 04:42, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

    United States congressional delegations from Connecticut

    United States congressional delegations from Connecticut
    Map of Connecticut's five congressional districts for the United States House of Representatives since 2022

    Since Connecticut became a U.S. state in 1788, it has sent congressional delegations to the United States Senate and United States House of Representatives, beginning with the 1st United States Congress in 1789. Each state elects two senators to serve for six years in general elections, with their re-election staggered. Prior to the ratification of the Seventeenth Amendment in 1913, senators were elected by the Connecticut General Assembly. Each state elects varying numbers of members of the House, depending on population, to two-year terms. Connecticut has sent five members to the House in each congressional delegation since the 2000 United States Census. A total of 292 unique individuals have represented Connecticut in Congress; Connecticut has had 57 senators and 259 representatives, and 24 have served in both the House and the Senate. Nine women from Connecticut have served in the House, the first being Clare Booth Luce, while none have served in the Senate. Two African-Americans from Connecticut, Gary Franks and Jahana Hayes, have served in the House. (Full list...)

    ITN candidates

    Click here to nominate an item for In the news. In the news toolbox
    Shortcut

    This page provides a place to discuss new items for inclusion on In the news (ITN), a protected template on the Main Page (see past items in the ITN archives). Do not report errors in ITN items that are already on the Main Page here— discuss those at the relevant section of WP:ERRORS.

    This candidates page is integrated with the daily pages of Portal:Current events. A light green header appears under each daily section - it includes transcluded Portal:Current events items for that day. You can discuss ITN candidates under the header.

    Glossary

    • Blurbs are one-sentence summaries of the news story.
      • Altblurbs, labelled alt1, alt2, etc., are alternative suggestions to cover the same story.
      • A target article, bolded in text, is the focus of the story. Each blurb must have at least one such article, but you may also link non-target articles.
    • Articles in the Ongoing line describe events getting continuous coverage.
    • The Recent deaths (RD) line includes any living thing whose death was recently announced. Consensus may decide to create a blurb for a recent death.

    All articles linked in the ITN template must pass our standards of review. They should be up-to-date, demonstrate relevance via good sourcing and have at least an acceptable quality.

    Nomination steps

    • Make sure the item you want to nominate has an article that meets our minimum requirements and contains reliable coverage of a current event you want to create a blurb about. We will not post about events described in an article that fails our quality standards.
    • Find the correct section below for the date of the event (not the date nominated). Do not add sections for new dates manually - a bot does that for us each day at midnight (UTC).
    • Create a level 4 header with the article name (==== Your article here ====). Add (RD) or (Ongoing) if appropriate.
    Then paste the {{ITN candidate}} template with its parameters and fill them in. The news source should be reliable, support your nomination and be in the article. Write your blurb in simple present tense. Below the template, briefly explain why we should post that event. After that, save your edit. Your nomination is ready!
    • You may add {{ITN note}} to the target article's talk page to let editors know about your nomination.

    The better your article's quality, the better it covers the event and the wider its perceived significance (see WP:ITNSIGNIF for details), the better your chances of getting the blurb posted.

    Purge this page to update the cache

    Headers

    • When the article is ready, updated and there is consensus to post, you can mark the item as (Ready). Remove that wording if you feel the article fails any of these necessary criteria.
    • Admins should always separately verify whether these criteria are met before posting blurbs marked (Ready). For more guidance, check WP:ITN/A.
      • If satisfied, change the header to (Posted).
      • Where there is no consensus, or the article's quality remains poor, change the header to (Closed) or (Not posted).
      • Sometimes, editors ask to retract an already-posted nomination because of a fundamental error or because consensus changed. If you feel the community supports this, remove the item and mark the item as (Pulled).

    Voicing an opinion on an item

    Format your comment to contain "support" or "oppose", and include a rationale for your choice. In particular, address the notability of the event, the quality of the article, and whether it has been updated.

    Please do...

    Shortcut
    1. Pick an older item to review near the bottom of this page, before the eligibility runs out and the item scrolls off the page and gets abandoned in the archive, unused and forgotten.
    2. Review an item even if it has already been reviewed by another user. You may be the first to spot a problem, or the first to confirm that an identified problem was fixed. Piling on the list of "support!" votes will help administrators see what is ready to be posted on the Main Page.
    3. Tell about problems in articles if you see them. Be bold and fix them yourself if you know how, or tell others if it's not possible.

    Please do not...

    Shortcut
    1. Add simple "support!" or "oppose!" votes without including your reasons. Similarly, curt replies such as "who?", "meh", or "duh!" are not helpful. A vote without reasoning means little for us, please elaborate yourself.
    2. Oppose an item just because the event is only relating to a single country, or failing to relate to one. We post a lot of such content, so these comments are generally unproductive.
    3. Accuse other editors of supporting, opposing or nominating due to a personal bias (such as ethnocentrism). We at ITN do not handle conflicts of interest.
    4. Comment on a story without first reading the relevant article(s).
    5. Oppose a recurring item here because you disagree with the recurring items criteria. Discuss them here.
    6. Use ITN as a forum for your own political or personal beliefs. Such comments are irrelevant to the outcome and are potentially disruptive.

    Suggesting updates

    There are two places where you can request corrections to posted items:

    • Anything that does not change the intent of the blurb (spelling, grammar, markup issues, updating death tolls etc.) should be discussed at WP:Errors.
    • Discuss major changes in the blurb's intent or very complex updates as part of the current ITNC nomination.

    The nominated event is listed on WP:ITN/R, so each occurrence is presumed to be important enough to post. Comments should focus on whether the quality of the article and update meet WP:ITNCRIT, not the significance.

    I couldn't figure out how to phrase the blurb in a brief way (I think the fact that the BJP lost its own majority but still has a path to form a government via alliance is significant), someone else will have to do it. Tube·of·Light 17:46, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

    • Not ready. Although final results were scheduled for today, it seems counting still hasn't been concluded. We can't post this until the final results are in, and the article has been updated with them. The article also needs to have at least a full paragraph of referenced prose describing the outcome, which is currently missing. I've added an altblurb. Modest Genius talk 18:41, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

    • Support AltBlurb 2 Suggested Alt Blurb 2 for clarity, the first Altblurb loses the significance that is referenced ITN about Modi needing coalition support to get re-elected. Article needs work though Schwinnspeed (talk) 21:52, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
    • Neutral on Alt3 I added it because this parliamentary majority business seems like a numbers game, first and foremost, but don't like the way the article looks. InedibleHulk (talk) 22:32, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
      It is very much so a numbers game, and you're right to point out the INC gains. But Alt3 feels like we're missing the forest for the trees. The significance here is Modi was reelected, but had to rely on coalition support, because the BJP lost its majority and 63 seats (this is along the lines of every major news headline) I fear the dynamics and implications of the Lok Sabha numbers game will be lost on the majority of people looking at the main page. Schwinnspeed (talk) 01:44, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
      I figured since the other three options already made Modi the star, shifting to party politics was the "alt" thing to do. And I did say it lost its majority, which more than implies it's now running a minority government. A lot of things will always be lost on a lot of people from a blurb alone, I think, just naturally. A decent one is barely longer than a headline, if that. But yeah, I don't care if Alt3's chosen or not. Just "putting it out there". InedibleHulk (talk) 05:07, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

    • Support the 2024 Mexican general election for notability. Sheinbaum's article needs to be reworked to be bolded. This is the first time a puppet president has been elected since Emilio Portes Gil, and Mexico is descending into a condition of democratic decay, with Sheinbaum herself promising to overhaul the election and legal systems. Her gender is not relevant enough to be described in the blurb beyond the standard reports. She is also the first person of Jewish origin to be elected, the first atheist, and the first person to indirectly earn a Nobel Prize, although these achievements are not highlighted.

      The reason we mention her being female is because she is the first in Mexico's history. Same way we would use a first male head of state. Sharrdx (talk) 00:01, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
      I get how "firsts" work, I just think they're overplayed. And no, it doesn't work for (most kinds of) men.

      I reckon it's most significant that she is an engineer and climate scientist. Politically, she seems very much the protegé of the incumbent Obrador. Andrew🐉(talk) 08:39, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
      South Sudan's first male leader was its first (independent) leader period. And that is the case for most if not all of the world.

      Yes; it’s an ethnicity. It’s like saying "first Hispanic president". BilledMammal (talk) 09:37, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
      I suppose that's technically true, and there's also a political element. But I don't think I'm the only one who infers the religious and cultural parts first when reading "Jewish president". If she's not politically Jewish and some point must be made about something decided before her parents were born, I suggest adding "ethnically" before "Jewish"; I still won't support it, but it'd make more sense. InedibleHulk (talk) 20:13, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

      Agree and have revised my vote after taking a closer look at some of the previous comments.

    • Support we posted massacres in Israel before (i think at least) so why not Sudan? Ion.want.uu (talk) 15:22, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
      You're probably thinking of the October 7 one, which came right before the war (so not yet "covered by ongoing"). InedibleHulk (talk) 16:09, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
      They probably think that one. Also not to forget that we also nominated and posted the Geneina massacre. Vamos Palmeiras (talk) 16:15, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
      If I recall, the deaths in that one were based on more than the say-so of a radio caller, as the Kutum Hospital airstrike (currently) is. InedibleHulk (talk) 16:21, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
      True. The Geneina massacre was caused by the Battle of Geneina itself and killed between 10 to 20,000 people. Not to forget that the blurb about El Fasher and the full nomination is talking about the ongoing offensive on the city and how it is affecting thousands of people. Furtherly, I think if this nomination does in fact get posted that we should expand the Kutum Hospital airstrike article. But for now let's keep it the way it currently is. Vamos Palmeiras (talk) 16:28, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
      The part about the recent offensive talks about how it killed eleven people and wounded 42. I'm not seeing enough updated detail on these thousands of others (or anything at all about 2024 in the lead). Of course, there remain thousands who have been and are affected in myriad ways this whole time (including in El Fasher), but that much remains conveyed by the Ongoing item, I think. InedibleHulk (talk) 16:39, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

    • Support I was wondering how they knew that the landing was successful and the article explains that the Queqiao-2 relay satellite has been pre-positioned to maintain comms. So, the article is quite informative and and useful. As it's ITN/R, we don't need notability votes. Andrew🐉(talk) 06:23, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

    • Kudos to Stephen for noticing that the mission has moved on and that, with sampling completed, the ascender stage has already taken off. The effect was that we only reported the landing for just five minutes but now we're up-to-date.
      There's an interesting detail that the sample hole was left in the shape of the character zhong (中) and so China has engraved its initial on the surface of the Moon. As this pictogram is based on a flagpole, this is literally symbolic. We should see if there's a free picture of this or other shots from the surface. Here's a video to start...

    Aitana Bonmatí
    • Support alt3 (Updated nom re. ITN/R) – there's now a match summary at the Women's final article. There's also this image of Bonmatí there that can be used - probably start by posting one of Carvajal, but it's typical to rotate images after a while and it's a great photo, so can add the Bonmatí one to MP protection.

    • Support though I think we need to point out a minor technicality that may need to be discussed later. The UWCL isn't listed on WP:ITN/R so we may need to discuss that for future years in case they stop coinciding to do a dual nom. That being said, I support this nom but I do think ALT3 has a bit too much WP:OLINK and I also think we should only use the official names. The C of E God Save the King!

      The precidence has already been set @InedibleHulk: as Kamala ran under his wrestling name and we ran Barry Chuckle under his stage name.

    • Support when ready: Although we're still waiting for the official results to get published, and the article needs to be updated with new information, I think there's no doubt about the ANC's loss of parliamentary majority being by far the biggest takeaway from this election, as well as a turning point in the modern history of South Africa. Oltrepier (talk) 11:30, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
    Wait - Until official results and the composition of the National Assembly is finalised. However, last general election, did we wait to post when the president is actually elected by parliament or did we post the NA results? I would be in favour of posting both as this is the most significant election in South Africa since 1994, and basically the only election where one party hasn't been dominant since 1948. This is a big moment in South African history. PrecariousWorlds (talk) 11:51, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
    • Comment we need to phrase this the way we always phrase election results, to avoid seeming partisan. The blurbs above, which phrase it as The ANC loses... are not accurate - the ANC still won the election, only that they're short of a majority.  — Amakuru (talk) 12:15, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
      I concur with this. After the number of seats are released, I will make a second alternate blurb to reflect it. It'll say that the ANC won the most in South Africa's election, but it will mention them losing their majority for the first time since the end of apartheid. CastleFort1 (talk) 12:56, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
      We could also write that the ANC won the plurality of votes but failed to get a majority. That could make it less ambiguous for readers. Scaramouche33 (talk) 15:08, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
    • Support in principle BUT wait until the result is officially announced. I think the proposed wording is accurate but I do agree with the above that it should be something like ALT2 that I've just added as a possibility. The C of E God Save the King! (talk) 16:58, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

    • Support Alt1, oppose Alt2 Alt1 best captures the significance of this electoral event for me. In principle I strongly oppose saying that a party that gets a plurality of seats "won an election" in ITN for parliamentary elections because it implies to anyone unfamiliar that that party will end up in power even if it isn't actually the case (e.g. Spain and Poland, where the plurality party failed to get into or lost power), although in this case it's moot because the ANC is expected to stay in power albeit while being forced to ally with another party. — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi!

The article seems to be in good shape, the only issues I spotted were a) some provinces have separate results tables while others don't; and b) the results map in the infobox needs updating. It would be simpler to just remove those until they're ready. If that's done, I support. At the risk of proliferating the blurb choice, I've adjusted alt3 to produce alt4, which I think is more neutral and uses less jargon. Modest Genius talk 13:14, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

      One of my closest friends going back nearly 20 years—a man who has always been among the least judgmental people you could possibly imagine, who strives to see the good in everybody—said at the time of sentencing (ca. 2007) that he was "disgusted" by what Pickton did. That is the only time I can recall him ever using such a strong word to describe his feelings towards anyone. Kurtis (talk) 11:32, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
      Speaking only for my own usually thick skin and unusually strong stomach, I should maybe be clear that I dropped the D-bomb for more than just Pickton and his multiple unchecked murders most foul. The early life and education here are shit. The drug and sex parties are depraved and harmful as a matter of course. The pig farming methods are casually inhumane. The way the Mounties always seem to shrug off missing and murdered indigenous women (even when they were called worse) is reprehensible. That day parole was even considered makes the whole penal system look broken and that the basic Hammurabic justice devoid in the first place was once again left in the hands of an unelected and unappointed sociopath afforded only the most primitive cleaning supplies is "problematic" at best. There are darker details, still, but they're too much for present company. InedibleHulk (talk) 15:42, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

    • Support alt2 This is very important news. I believe ITN reports when a current/former head of state/government of a nation is convicted of a crime. The alt2 blurb also sounds the most "ITN" out of all of the blurbs.

    Support notability per Bremps, maybe wait a little for article to settle down a bit? Might be worth it to wait for whatever reactions come from Trump and other involved parties before posting. Staraction (talk | contribs) 21:41, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
    We already have a separate article for that: Reactions to the prosecution of Donald Trump in New York. Partofthemachine (talk) 21:47, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
    Concur with this, article will almost certainly have some back-and-forths going on. Traumnovelle (talk) 21:49, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
    • Post-posting support even though I think it shouldn't have been posted this quickly. While I don't think convictions of heads of state/government should be ITNR, I do think they're generally pretty newsworthy. (And didn't we have another one earlier this year?)

    Post-posting support this has made front-page headlines on multiple news sites. JohnAdams1800 (talk) 21:59, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
    I'd just be very amused if we don't put this on the front page for a day or so, and let "Kolkata Knight Riders defeat Sunrisers Hyderabad" stay at the top for a while. What are the odds Sunil Narine would ever be on the front page again? DS (talk) 22:05, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
    • Comment remember that while a likely near majority of us are elated by this news, we still must handle it's writing and application impartially and neutrally, meaning it should not be getting special attention at ITN outside of its posting in the standard ITN process. Masem (t) 22:50, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
    • Blurb missing "all" Seems that most sources headline that he was guilty on all 34 counts.[4]—Bagumba (talk) 23:10, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
    • Support—Obviously. And I agree with Bagumba that we ought to mention the fact that Trump was convicted on every single count for which he stood trial. Kurtis (talk) 23:13, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

    • Post-posting support for the record. Historically important and being covered worldwide. Pawnkingthree (talk) 00:03, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

    • Comment is it typical of ITN to post political court rulings before the appeal phase? 188.26.145.178 (talk) 06:37, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
      • A jury verdict is actually not considered a "court ruling", but with respect to precedent, we posted in December 2010 immediately following the conviction of former President of Israel Moshe Katsav on rape, obstruction of justice, and like charges. BD2412 T 15:38, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
        And in nearly all cases where we have posted a conviction, we know appeals will be attempted and all that. If there is a change of the conviction after the fact (and that depends on the situation) we would likely post that. Masem (t) 16:24, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

        This wikibio currently has only 274 words of prose and could use a sentence or two to make it less stubby and more comfortably in Start class. Perhaps something on her early life and education? It says in the intro that she is of Moroccan Jewish descent, but this needs a mention in the main prose with a REF. I can only confirm that she is of Jewish origin from the El Pais and El Diario REFs, but not the Moroccan part. The intro also mentions that she was "one of the first Latin American filmmakers to ...", which also needs a mention in the main prose with a REF. I could only confirmed which schools she attended from the same REFs and the Cocuyo REF, not the "one of the first" part. Perhaps it says so in another REF? Anyway, listing UCV, Columbia and IDHEC and spelling out the names of these schools, plus dates, etc. should make the wikibio long enough. --PFHLai (talk) 13:38, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
        The wikibio now has 330 words of prose, after the subject's education is added to the main prose, and is long enough to qualify. Can the intro get fixed up, please? Details mentioned in the intro should be backed up in the main prose with REFs. Thanks. --PFHLai (talk) 14:17, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
