The Albona class were mine-warfare ships used by the Italian Regia Marina and the Royal Yugoslav Navy (KM). Fourteen ships were originally laid down between 1917 and 1918 for the Austro-Hungarian Navy. The end of World War I and the dissolution of Austria-Hungary left them incomplete until 1920, when three ships were finished for the Regia Marina. An additional five ships were completed for the KM in 1931. All the completed ships could carry 24 to 39 naval mines. The five ships in KM service were captured by Italian forces during the Axis invasion of Yugoslavia and commissioned in the Regia Marina. Three of the ships were returned to the KM-in-exile in late 1943 until they were transferred to the Yugoslav Navy in August 1945. The three surviving ships were stricken in 1962 and 1963.

    The Hugo Award for Best Professional Editor is one of the Hugo Awards given each year for science-fiction or fantasy stories published or translated into English during the previous calendar year. The award is presented to editors of magazines, novels, anthologies, or other works related to science fiction or fantasy. The Best Professional Editor award was first presented in 1973. Since 2007, the award has been split into two categories: Best Editor (Short Form) and Best Editor (Long Form). The Short Form award is for editors of anthologies, collections or magazines, while the Long Form award is for editors of novels. Since 1996, retrospective Hugo Awards (Retro Hugos) have been occasionally awarded for years 50, 75, or 100 years prior in which no awards were given. During the 60 nomination years, 92 editors have been nominated for the original Best Professional Editor award, the Short Form or Long Form categories, or the Retro Hugos. Gardner Dozois (pictured) has received the most Best Professional Editor awards, with fifteen wins from nineteen nominations for the original award, and one win from two nominations for the Short Form category.

    KiMo Theater is a theater and historic landmark located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on the northeast corner of Central Avenue and Fifth Street. It was built in 1927 in the extravagant Pueblo Deco architecture, which is a blend of adobe-style Pueblo Revival building styles (rounded corners and edges), decorative motifs from indigenous cultures, and the soaring lines and linear repetition found in American Art Deco architecture. The name Kimo, meaning 'mountain lion', was suggested by Pablo Abeita in a competition sponsored by the Albuquerque Journal. The theater opened on September 19, 1927, with a program including Native American dancers and singers, a performance on the newly installed $18,000 Wurlitzer theater organ, and the comedy film Painting the Town. According to local legend, the KiMo Theatre is haunted by the ghost of Bobby Darnall, a six-year-old boy killed in 1951 when a water heater in the theater's lobby exploded. The tale alleges that a theatrical performance of A Christmas Carol in 1974 was disrupted by the ghost, who was supposedly angry that the staff was ordered to remove donuts they had hung on backstage pipes to appease him. This photograph shows the facade of the KiMo Theater, seen from across Central Avenue.

    Liza Soberano (born January 4, 1998) is an American and Filipino actress. Her accolades include a FAMAS Award, a Star Award, and six Box Office Entertainment Awards. She began her career as a model, before her television debut in the fantasy anthology series Wansapanataym (2011). She achieved wider recognition for starring in the second season of Got to Believe (2014) and Forevermore (2014), the latter of which marked the first of her collaborations with actor Enrique Gil. Soberano found commercial successes in several romantic films, winning the Box Office Entertainment Award for Box Office Queen for My Ex and Whys (2017). Attempting to shed her image as an on-screen couple with Gil, she sought roles in other genres, before pursuing an acting career in Hollywood with Lisa Frankenstein (2024). Soberano has been described by media publications as one of the most beautiful Filipino actresses of her generation. She is vocal about gender equality, women's rights, and mental health.

    The Mediterranean moray (Muraena helena), also known as the Roman eel, is a species of fish in the family Muraenidae, the moray eels. It has a long eel-like body and is found in the eastern Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. The species prefers rocky bottoms and lives at depths between 1 and 800 metres (3 and 2,620 ft), with the 100–300-metre (330–980 ft) range being the most common habitat. It is a territorial species and is more active at night, spending most of the day in cavities and clefts between rocks. It hunts fish, crabs and cephalopods, and its bite can be dangerous to humans. This Mediterranean moray was photographed off the coast of the Maltese island of Gozo.

    Cyfeilliog (died c. 927) was a bishop in south-east Wales. The location and extent of his diocese is uncertain, but lands granted to him are mainly close to Caerwent, suggesting that his diocese covered Gwent, possibly extending into Ergyng (now south-west Herefordshire). He is recorded in charters dating from the mid-880s to the early tenth century. In 914 he was captured by the Vikings and ransomed by Edward the Elder, King of the Anglo-Saxons, for 40 pounds of silver. Edward's assistance is regarded by historians as evidence that he inherited the overlordship of his father, Alfred the Great, over the south-east Welsh kingdoms. Cyfeilliog is probably the author of a cryptogram (encrypted text) which was added as a marginal note to the ninth-century collection of poetry known as the Juvencus Manuscript. The twelfth-century Book of Llandaff records his death in 927, but some historians are sceptical as they think that this date is late for a bishop active in the 880s. (Full article...)

    Maria Trubnikova (6 January 1835 – 28 April 1897) was a Russian feminist and activist. From a wealthy family, she was orphaned at a young age and raised by her aunt. She married Konstantin Trubnikov at the age of 19; they had seven children. Trubnikova hosted a women-only salon which became a center of feminist activism. Alongside Anna Filosofova and Nadezhda Stasova, whom she mentored, Trubnikova was one of the earliest leaders of the Russian women's movement; the three women were referred to as the "triumvirate". They founded several organizations designed to promote women's cultural and economic independence, as well as pushing for higher education for women. Trubnikova maintained international connections to fellow feminists in England, France, and other countries. Over time, her once-liberal husband grew implacably opposed to her activism, and they separated. Trubnikova later experienced severe illness; she died in an asylum in 1897. (Full article...)

    Djoudj National Bird Sanctuary

    There are seven World Heritage Sites in Senegal as of 2025, with a further eight on the tentative list. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Sites are places of importance to cultural or natural heritage as described in the UNESCO World Heritage Convention, established in 1972. The first site in Senegal to be inscribed to the list was the island of Gorée, in 1978. The most recently designated site is the Bassari Country, in 2012. Five sites in Senegal are listed for their cultural properties, and two for their natural properties. The Djoudj National Bird Sanctuary (pictured) was twice placed on the List of World Heritage in Danger, from 1984 to 1988 and from 2000 to 2006; the first time because of the risks posed by the planned construction of a dam downstream, and the second time because of the spread of the invasive plant Salvinia molesta.

    The Cathedral of La Laguna is a Roman Catholic church in San Cristóbal de La Laguna, on the Spanish island of Tenerife in the Canary Islands. The church was designated a cathedral in 1818 and is the seat of the Diocese of San Cristóbal de La Laguna, which includes the islands of Tenerife, La Palma, La Gomera and El Hierro. The current building was constructed between 1904 and 1915 to replace an earlier building begun in 1515. The cathedral is located in the historic centre of La Laguna and was declared a World Heritage Site in 1999 by UNESCO. It contains elements of several architectural styles and is noted for its Neoclassical facade, inspired by Pamplona Cathedral, as well as its dome, which stands out prominently in the city landscape. In the cathedral lie the remains of Alonso Fernández de Lugo, the conqueror of the island and founder of the La Laguna. This photograph shows one of the side chapels of the Cathedral of La Laguna, with a 6-metre-tall (20 ft) gilded reredos behind the altar. Constructed in the Baroque style in the first half of the 18th century, the reredos is the largest in the Canary Islands. The chapel is dedicated to the Virgin of Los Remedios, whose statue is in the central niche behind the altar. The reredos features seven paintings, attributed to Hendrick van Balen, depicting scenes from the lives of Jesus and Mary.

    Gerald Durrell (7 January 1925 – 30 January 1995) was a British naturalist, writer and zookeeper. He was born in British India and moved to England in 1928. In 1935 the family moved to Corfu, but the outbreak of World War II forced them to return to the United Kingdom. In the 1940s he began animal-collecting trips for zoos, and published well-received accounts of these, starting with The Overloaded Ark. His account of the years in Corfu, titled My Family and Other Animals, appeared in 1956 and became a bestseller. He founded the Jersey Zoo in 1959, intending it to be an institution for the study of animals and for captive breeding. Durrell and his second wife, Lee McGeorge, made several television documentaries in the 1980s, including Durrell in Russia and Ark on the Move. They co-authored The Amateur Naturalist, which became his most successful book, selling well over a million copies. His ashes were buried at Jersey Zoo. (Full article...)

    Elvis Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977) was an American singer and one of the most important figures of 20th-century popular culture. Often referred to as the "King of Rock and Roll", Presley began his career in 1954 and became the leading figure of the newly popular sound of rock and roll in the late 1950s. Conscripted in 1958, he relaunched his recording career two years later with some of his most commercially successful work. In 1968, after seven years away from the stage, he returned to live performance in a television special that led to an extended Las Vegas residency and a string of tours. In 1973 he staged the first concert broadcast globally via satellite, seen by around 1.5 billion viewers. Prescription drug abuse severely affected his health, and he died suddenly in 1977. With wide success in many musical genres, Presley is the best-selling solo artist in the history of popular music. He won three Grammys, and received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award at the age of 36. (Full article...)

    Meghan Trainor

    Title is the debut major-label studio album by American singer-songwriter Meghan Trainor (pictured), released on January 9, 2015. Initially a songwriter for other artists in 2013, Trainor signed with Epic Records the following year and began recording material she co-wrote with Kevin Kadish. They drew influence from retro-styled music as they were tired of chasing radio trends. Title includes "All About That Bass", which reached number one in 58 countries, and two other US Billboard Hot 100 top-10 singles: "Lips Are Movin" and "Like I'm Gonna Lose You". Reviewers criticized the album's repetitiveness and doubted Trainor's longevity, though some appreciated her wit and audacious attitude. It debuted at number one on charts in the US, Canada and the UK, and spent multiple weeks at the summit in Australia and New Zealand. Title was the ninth-best-selling album of 2015 worldwide. It was supported by the 2015 That Bass Tour and MTrain Tour. (This article is part of two featured topics: Title and Meghan Trainor albums.)

    The Ferrari FF is a grand touring car made by the Italian carmaker Ferrari. Suceeding the 612 Scaglietti, the FF—whose name is an acronym for "Ferrari Four"—was produced between 2011 and 2016 in Ferrari's manufacturing facility in Maranello, Italy. Featuring the body style of a shooting brake, the vehicle made its first public appearance at the Geneva International Motor Show in 2011.

    Burial chamber of Kha and Merit as discovered in 1906

    The tomb of Kha and Merit is the funerary chapel and burial place of the ancient Egyptian foreman Kha and his wife Merit, in the northern cemetery of the workmen's village of Deir el-Medina. Kha supervised the workforce who constructed royal tombs during the reigns of the pharaohs Amenhotep II, Thutmose IV and Amenhotep III (r. 1425 – 1353 BC) in the mid–Eighteenth Dynasty of the early New Kingdom of Egypt. He died in his 60s, while Merit died before him in her 20s or 30s. The couple's pyramid-shaped chapel has been known since at least 1818. The tomb was cut into the base of the cliffs. This position allowed the entrance to be quickly buried by debris deposited by landslides and later tomb construction, hiding its location from ancient robbers. Almost all of the contents of the tomb were awarded to the excavators and were shipped to Italy soon after the discovery. They have been displayed in the Museo Egizio in Turin since its arrival, and an entire gallery is devoted to it. (Full article...)

    When modifying a hook in a queue or prep area (other than minor formatting fixes), please notify the nominator by including a link of the form [[User:JoeEditor]] in your edit summary. (Ping templates like {{u|JoeEditor}} don't work in edit summaries.)

    Administrators: Please ensure that there is always at least one queue filled at all times, to prevent overdue updates to the Main Page.

    This page gives an overview of all DYK hooks currently scheduled for promotion to the Main Page. By showing the content of all queues and prep areas in one place, the overview helps administrators see how full the queues are, and also makes it easier for users to check that their hook has been promoted or to find hooks for copy-editing. Hooks removed from queues or prep areas for unresolved issues should have their nominations reopened and retranscluded at the nomination page.

    You may need to purge this page to get it to display the latest edits.

    The next update will be produced from Queue 5. After performing a manual update, please update the pointer to the next queue.

    All-American Bitch

     
    Rodrigo performing "All-American Bitch"

    "All-American Bitch" is a song by American singer-songwriter Olivia Rodrigo from her second studio album, Guts. Lyrically, it is satire and explores Rodrigo's concerns about society's double standards and contradictory expectations for women. Rodrigo co-wrote the song with its producer, Dan Nigro, and believed it captured feelings she had repressed since the age of 15. It begins as a folk song and transitions into pop-punk during the chorus, incorporating influences of punk, rock, grunge, and pop rock. "All-American Bitch" was viewed as a successful opening track that appealed to Generation Z by music critics, who praised Rodrigo's vocals and the production. The song reached number 13 in the US and the top 10 in Australia, Ireland, and New Zealand. Rodrigo performed it on Saturday Night Live, where she stabbed a red-colored cake at a tea party and splattered it on her face; the performance received positive reviews. She also included the song on the set list of the 2024–2025 Guts World Tour. (Full article...)

    Coordinator comment I confess to feeling a bit dubious about this one because of the name. If I am to run it, I'd like to see a strong consensus. Wehwalt (talk) 17:40, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
    While this is a fine article for some other day, I am not comfortable with the song article for that particular day. I remember that SusunW had a suggestion closer related to women's rights and international relevance. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:12, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
    How about this song for 20 February, the singer's birthday, NØ, Gog the Mild? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:15, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
    MF has just pulled it from a February slot, but - right now - I could reinstate it on the 20th. Gog the Mild (talk) 11:36, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
    I will let you three take a call. I mean, it doesn't necessarily need to go on on a special occasion since the last Rodrigo TFA was a long long time ago. WP:TFAP for March looks largely empty, so I am fine with it getting the day prior to Women's Day.--NØ 11:49, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
    I think a similar objection would attend running it on March 7 or 9, given time zones. I can offer another March date if February 20 is no good.--Wehwalt (talk) 14:39, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
    Based on my understanding, Gerda Arendt just prefers the article SusunW had suggested for IWD. It is not because of an issue with the song title being inappropriate for the occasion. This is a feminist song, so that would not make sense imo.--NØ 14:51, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
    It may be "a feminist song", but there are plenty of women who feel uncomfortable with the label "bitch", given how often it is used as an insult. - SchroCat (talk) 08:38, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
    The line in the song is "I'm a perfect all-American bitch" and it is clearly reclaimed and used in a positive context by Rodrigo, who is a woman herself. It would be an insult to the intelligence of our readers for us to assume they are going to be offended by it. Anyways, I will take Wehwalt up on the offer of a random March date and withdraw this. Please close it. Thanks.--NØ 09:48, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
    I'll leave it open on a non-specific date so I know where to find it. Further comments are welcome, and what is the article that SusunW thinks would be good for March 8? I'm starting to put together the March schedule.--Wehwalt (talk) 14:56, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
    No-one is insulting anyone's intelligence. It's a contentious term, end of story. Same way that other terms that have been reclaimed by a group or community are still offensive to many while being acceptable to others. It doesn't matter if this is claimed to be "a feminist song" or not: some people will be offended that we've decided to mark International Women's Day by using an article whose title includes the word "bitch", however supposedly positive the message behind it.
    No problem running it on another day in the month, as long as it's a few days away from the 8th. - SchroCat (talk) 15:10, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
    I am not sure what putting it in direct quotes again and again is supposed to accomplish, but this is most certainly a feminist song. I only emphasize this so no one misunderstands my initial intentions in nominating it for IWD. Another date in March sounds good to me, though, Schro.--NØ 16:08, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
    I put it in quotes because I was quoting your words. - SchroCat (talk) 16:12, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
    What article is that?--Wehwalt (talk) 20:26, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
    • Oppose - Run literally any other article for that day. Harizotoh9 (talk) 19:01, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
    Coordinator comment Right now I'm planning on running this on March 3 (subject to change) and Sally Ride on March 8.--Wehwalt (talk) 21:02, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

    • Comment After an unsuccessful TFA nomination last year, the article underwent a FAR throughout 2024 (see here), which resulted in retaining its FA status. The following options on when this article can appear on the Main Page.
    • March 15, 2025 - 20th anniversary of the release of her 2005 single "We Belong Together"
    • June 12, 2025 - 35th anniversary of her musical debut with her 1990 album Mariah Carey
    • September 26, 2025 - 30th anniversary of the release of her 1995 album Daydream
    • November 1, 2025 - Coinciding Carey's release of her "It's Time!" video, signaling the start of Christmas season
    • December 4, 2025 - 5th anniversary of the recording of "Oh Santa!", which also features Jennifer Hudson and Ariana Grande
    Note: April 12, 2025 (20th anniversary of The Emancipation of Mimi) was not included to avoid conflict with a potentially scheduled article (Dolly de Leon) for TFA, as seen on WP:TFAP. Kindly vote below this line on when you want this page to appear. Thank you. ScarletViolet tc 12:20, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

    Leroy Chollet

     

    Leroy Chollet (March 5, 1925 – June 10, 1998) was an American professional basketball player. Chollet enrolled at Loyola University New Orleans and led the Loyola Wolf Pack to their first championship, but Louisiana schools were segregated. Chollet had an African American great-grandparent, and when this was revealed, he was pressured into leaving Loyola. He moved to New York and played three seasons for Canisius College. Chollet played for several professional teams, including the Syracuse Nationals. During the inaugural season of the National Basketball Association (NBA), Syracuse made it to the 1950 NBA Finals. An ankle injury limited Chollet's second year in the NBA. He married Barbara Knaus, and, after retiring from professional basketball in 1952, he moved to her hometown, Lakewood, Ohio. They had three children: Lawrence, Melanie, and David. In Lakewood, Chollet worked on the construction of St. Edward High School and became a teacher and varsity head coach. (Full article...)

    History of infant schools in Great Britain

     
    Which is your Right Hand?, illustration of an unidentified infant class, drawn by Paul Renouard [fr] and published in The Graphic (1898)

    The history of infant schools in Great Britain began in 1816, when the first infant school was founded in New Lanark, Scotland. It was followed by other philanthropic infant schools across Great Britain. A theory of infant teaching developed which included moral education, physical exercise and an authoritative but friendly teacher. Infant schools served to maximise the education children could receive before they left school to start work and were valued by parents as a form of childcare. State-funded schools in England and Wales were advised in 1840 to include infant departments within their grounds. Infant education came under pressure to achieve quick academic progress in children and shifted towards rote learning. Beginning in 1905, infant lessons in England and Wales shifted towards more child-centred methods of teaching, where education was meant to reflect the preferences of children. The child-centred approach reached its peak following a report in 1967. In 1988, a more centralised curriculum was introduced. The term "infant department" for the early years at school was used widely in Scotland in the 1960s but is no longer generally used there. (Full article...)

    Hughie Ferguson

     

    Hughie Ferguson (2 March 1895 – 8 January 1930) was a professional footballer. He was one of Scotland's most sought-after young players before signing for Motherwell F.C. to begin his professional career. He played as a centre forward and finished as the top goalscorer in the Scottish Football League on three occasions. His 284 league goals remains a club record and, by 1925, he was the highest-scoring player in the history of the Scottish League. In 1925, Ferguson moved to Cardiff City F.C.; he was the club's top goalscorer for four consecutive seasons. He scored the winning goal in the 1927 FA Cup final and scored in the 1927 FA Charity Shield. Ferguson returned to Scotland with Dundee F.C. in 1929, but struggled to reproduce his goalscoring form. Six months after his arrival, he lost his place in the team and committed suicide. He is one of only seven men in the history of the English and Scottish Football Leagues to have scored 350 league goals. (Full article...)

    Les Holden (6 March 1895 – 18 September 1932) was a fighter ace of World War I. He joined the Australian Light Horse in May 1915, serving in Egypt and France. In December 1916 he volunteered for the Australian Flying Corps and qualified as a pilot. As a member of No. 2 Squadron he gained the sobriquets "Lucky Les" and "the homing pigeon" after a series of incidents where he limped back to base in bullet-riddled aircraft. He was awarded the Military Cross, achieved five aerial victories, and finished the war as an instructor with No. 6 (Training) Squadron in England, earning the Air Force Cross. After leaving the Australian Flying Corps in 1919, he became a manager at Holden's Motor Body Builders. He joined the part-time Citizen Air Force before establishing an air service as a commercial pilot. In 1929, he located Charles Kingsford Smith and Charles Ulm in the north-west Australian desert after the pair were reported missing. He was killed in a passenger plane crash in Australia.

    Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number is a 2015 top-down shooter game developed by Dennaton Games and published by Devolver Digital. A sequel to Hotline Miami, it focuses on the prelude and aftermath of that game's protagonist's actions against the Russian mafia in Miami. The player takes on the role of several characters throughout the game, witnessing the game's events from their perspectives. In each level of the game, the player is tasked with defeating every enemy through any means possible. The game was released on 10 March 2015 for Linux, OS X, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, and Windows. The game received positive reviews, with critics praising the soundtrack, though had divisive thoughts on its gameplay, level design and narrative. The game featured a scene depicting sexual assault, which triggered a mostly negative response from media outlets and led to the game being refused classification in Australia. (Full article...)

    2020 Seattle Sounders FC season

    The 2020 season for Seattle Sounders FC was their twelfth in Major League Soccer (MLS), the top flight of professional club soccer in the United States. It was the 37th season played by a professional team bearing the Sounders name. Seattle were the reigning MLS Cup champions and were expected to play 34 matches during the regular season, which began on March 1. The regular season was suspended on March 12 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which had already caused reduced attendance at an earlier match. MLS play returned with a special tournament in July hosted at a bubble site; teams then hosted matches behind closed doors. The Sounders only played 22 regular season matches after several were canceled; the 2020 U.S. Open Cup was also canceled. Seattle qualified for the playoffs as the second-placed team in the Western Conference and won a second consecutive conference championship. They lost 3–0 in the MLS Cup against Columbus Crew SC.

    Brendon Chung, the developer of Flotilla

    Flotilla is a 2010 turn-based strategy space combat video game developed by Brendon Chung (pictured) and his studio, Blendo Games. The game was released in March 2010 on Steam for Microsoft Windows and on Xbox Live Indie Games for the Xbox 360. Flotilla was designed with Microsoft's XNA tools, and its development was influenced by animals as well as board games such as Axis & Allies and Arkham Horror. The game takes the player on an adventure through a randomly generated galaxy. Chung began developing Flotilla after the closure of Pandemic Studios, where he had worked as a designer. The new game used assets imported from Chung's early space combat prototype Space Piñata. Flotilla incorporates pieces of classical music in its score such as Frédéric Chopin's "Raindrop" prelude. It received mixed reviews from video game media outlets, scoring 72 out of 100 on review aggregate website Metacritic, and was included in Mike Rose's book 250 Indie Games You Must Play.

    Your Girl

     
    Mariah Carey, the artist of Your Girl

    "Your Girl" is a song recorded by American singer Mariah Carey (pictured) for her tenth studio album, The Emancipation of Mimi. She wrote the track with Marc Shemer, who also produced it with her under the name Scram Jones. The lyrics of "Your Girl" are about confidently approaching a potential lover. To convey this sentiment, Carey employs belting in her vocal performance. The track was influenced by disco, gospel, jazz, pop, and soul, while sampling vocals and an acoustic guitar from the 2003 Adeaze song "A Life with You". Some reviewers considered "Your Girl" one of the best tracks on The Emancipation of Mimi; others criticized the vocals. Regretful that it was not issued as a single from the album, Carey later released two remixes featuring rappers Cam'ron, Juelz Santana, and N.O.R.E. as part of a 2021 digital extended play. She has performed the song live during the 2006 The Adventures of Mimi concert tour and the 2024 Celebration of Mimi concert residency in Las Vegas. (Full article...)

    Today's featured list submissions

     
    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.

    Outline of the Marvel Cinematic Universe

    The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is an American media franchise and shared universe created by Marvel Studios. Beginning in 2008 with the release of the film Iron Man, the franchise has since expanded to include various feature films and television series produced by Marvel Studios, television series from Marvel Television, and other media based on Marvel Comics characters. The franchise's most recent release is the film Thunderbolts*. Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige (pictured) oversees the main MCU productions. The MCU, similar to the original Marvel Universe, was established by crossing over common plot elements, settings, cast members, and characters. It has been commercially successful, becoming one of the highest-grossing media franchises and the highest-grossing film franchise. This includes Avengers: Endgame, which concluded its theatrical run in 2019 as the highest-grossing film of all time. The franchise's success has influenced other studios to attempt similar shared universes. (Full list...)

    I would like to suggest this for May 2, 2025, as it is the 17 year anniversary of the release of the first MCU film, Iron Man, to a tee. I know 2025 is a ways away, though I felt it was best to get this submitted sooner rather than later. Trailblazer101 (talk) 05:46, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

    I have made a few modifications to this blurb since I originally submitted it, including swapping the image and mentioning what the most recent release of this franchise will be by the time of the date I have requested, because that film's release coincides with the intended date.

Actor Chris Rock hosted the show for the first time. Million Dollar Baby won four awards including Best Picture and Best Director for Clint Eastwood (pictured). Other winners included The Aviator with five awards and The Incredibles and Ray with two. The telecast garnered over 42 viewers in the United States. (Full list...)

    United States congressional delegations from Arizona

     
    Map of Arizona's nine congressional districts for the United States House of Representatives since 2022

    Since Arizona became a U.S. state in 1912, it has sent congressional delegations to the United States Senate and United States House of Representatives, beginning with the 63rd United States Congress in 1913. Before becoming a state, the Arizona Territory elected a non-voting delegate at-large to Congress from 1864 to 1912. Each state elects two senators to serve for six years, and varying numbers of members of the House, depending on state population, to two-year terms. Arizona has sent nine members to the House in each delegation since the 2010 United States Census. A total of 57 people have served Arizona in the House and 14 have served Arizona in the Senate. The first woman to serve Arizona in the House was Isabella Greenway. Seven women have served Arizona in the House, including Kyrsten Sinema and Martha McSally, who also served Arizona in the Senate, the only women to do so. (Full list...)

    List of cities in Donetsk Oblast

     
    View of Donetsk, capital and most populous city in the oblast

    In Ukraine's eastern Donetsk Oblast, there are 52 populated places officially granted city status by the Verkhovna Rada, the country's parliament. Settlements with more than 10,000 people are eligible to become cities although the status is also typically given by parliament to settlements of historical or regional importance. According to the country's last official census in 2001, the most populous city in the oblast was the regional capital Donetsk, with a population of 1,016,194 people, while the least populous city was Sviatohirsk, with 5,136 people. Following fighting during the Donbas war, 21 of the oblast's cities were occupied by pro-Russian separatists. After the enactment of decommunization laws across the country, ten cities in both Ukrainian-controlled and separatist-occupied territory were given new names in 2016 which were unrecognized by de facto pro-Russian officials in the occupied cities. During the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Russian troops have occupied an additional eleven cities, of which two (Lyman and Sviatohirsk) were recovered by Ukraine. (Full list...)

    List of Johnson solids

    The Johnson solid is a convex polyhedron in which all of the faces are regular polygons. Here, polyhedron means a three-dimensions object containing flat faces that are bounded by the edges, and a polyhedron is said to be convex if the faces are not in the same plane and the edges are not in the same line. There are 92 Johnson solids, and some of the authors exclude uniform polyhedrons from the definition: Archimedean solids, Platonic solids, prisms, and antiprisms. The set of solids was published by American mathematician Norman Johnson in 1966. The list was completed and no other examples existed was proved by Russian-Israeli mathematician Victor Zalgaller in 1969. (Full list...)

    List of Liechtenstein general elections

    General elections in Liechtenstein have been held since the ratification of the 1862 constitution in which the Landtag of Liechtenstein was established. Political parties did not exist in Liechtenstein until they were formed in 1918. Before the ratification of the 1921 constitution, the head of government was not elected, but rather appointed by the prince of Liechtenstein, thus elections were only held to elect members of the Landtag. Under the constitution general elections are held for the members of the Landtag of Liechtenstein, who then elect the prime minister. As of 2021, there have been 48 general elections held in Liechtenstein. (Full list...)

    Bear McCreary

    The International Film Music Critics Association Award for Best Original Score for Television is an annual award given by the International Film Music Critics Association (IFMCA). Established in 2004, the award is given to the composer of a television score based on two criteria: "the effectiveness, appropriateness and emotional impact of the score in the context of the film for which it was written; and the technical and intellectual merit of the composition when heard as a standalone listening experience." As of 2024, 70 composers have been nominated for the award. The first award was given to Steve Bartek and Danny Elfman for their work on the television series Desperate Housewives. The most recent recipient was James Newton Howard for his work on the series All the Light We Cannot See. Bear McCreary (pictured) has been nominated twelve times and won four. Three composers have been nominated multiple times in a year: Ramin Djawadi, Robert Lane, and Bear McCleary. (Full list...)

    I recommend either Feburary 14, 2025 or Febuary 28, 2025. If tradition holds, those dates will be right after the nominations and winners are announced, respectively. ~ Matthewrb Talk to me · Changes I've made 17:11, 23 October 2024 (UTC)
