Welcome tofeatured list candidates! Here, we determine which lists are of a good enough quality to befeatured lists (FLs). Featured lists exemplify Wikipedia's very best work and must satisfy thefeatured list criteria.
Before nominating a list, nominators may wish to receive feedback by listing it atpeer review. This process is not a substitute for peer review. Nominators must be sufficiently familiar with the subject matter and sources to deal with objections during the featured list candidate (FLC) process. Those who are notsignificant contributors to the list should consult regular editors of the list before nomination. Nominators are expected to respond positively to constructive criticism and to make an effort to address objections promptly.
A list should not be listed at featured list candidates and another review process at the same time. Nominators who have previously successfully nominated a list may have two concurrent featured list nominationsonly if the first active nomination has gained substantial support and reviewers' concerns have been substantially addressed.
The featured list director,Giants2008, or his delegates,PresN andHey man im josh, determine the timing of the process for each nomination. Each nomination will typically last at least twenty days, but may last longer if changes are ongoing or insufficient discussion or analysis has occurred. For a nomination to bepromoted to FL status,consensus must be reached that it meets the criteria. The directors determine whether there is consensus. A nomination will be removed from the list andarchived if, in the judgment of the director who considers a nomination and its reviews:
actionable objections have not been resolved in a timely manner; or
consensus for promotion has not been reached after significant time; or
reviewers are unable to judge whether the criteria have been met.
It is assumed that all nominations have good qualities; this is why the process focuses on finding and resolving problems in relation to the criteria, rather than asserting the positives. Declarations of support are not as important as finding and resolving issues, and the process is not simply vote-counting.
Once the director or a delegate has decided to close a nomination, they will do so on the nominations page. Abot will update the list talk page after the list is promoted or the nomination archived, typically within the day, and the{{FLC}} template should remain on the talk page until the bot updates or adds the{{Article history}} template. If a nomination is archived, the nominator should take adequate time to resolve issues before re-nominating.
Before nominating a list, ensure that it meets all of theFL criteria and that anypeer reviews are closed and archived. It is recommended that the list have no other open discussions.
Place{{subst:FLC}} on the talk page of the nominated list.
From the FLC template, click on the red "initiate the nomination" link. You will see pre-loaded information; leave that text. If you are unsure how to complete a nomination, please leave a post onthe FLC talk page for assistance.
Below the preloaded title, complete the nomination page, sign with ~~~~ and save the page.
Finally, place{{Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/name of nominated list/archiveNumber}} at the top of the list of nominees on this page by first copying the above, clicking "edit" on the top of this page, and then pasting, making sure to add the name of the nominated list. When adding a candidate, mention the name of the list in the edit summary.
Reviewing procedure
Please read a nominated list fully before deciding to support or oppose a nomination.
To respond to a nomination, click the "Edit" link to the right of the list nomination (not the "Edit this page" link for thewhole FLC page).
To support a nomination, write* '''Support''',followed by your reason(s). If you have been a significant contributor to the list before its nomination, please indicate this. Supports are weighted more strongly if they are given alongside justifications that indicate that the list was fully reviewed; a nomination is not just a straight vote.
To oppose a nomination, write* '''Oppose''',followed by your reason(s). Each objection must providea specific rationale that can be addressed. If nothing can be done in principle to address the objection, the director may ignore it. Please focus your attention on substantive issues or inconsistencies, rather than personal style preferences. Reviewers who object are strongly encouraged to return after a few days to check whether their objection has been addressed, and nominators are encouraged to use{{reply to}} or other templates to notify reviewers when replying. To withdraw an objection, strike it out (with<s> ... </s>), rather than removing it.
If a nominator feels that an oppose vote has been addressed, they should say so, rather than striking out the reviewer's text. Nominators should not cap, alter, strike, or add graphics to comments from other editors; replies are added below the signature on the reviewer's commentary. If a nominator finds that an opposing reviewer is not returning to the nomination page to revisit improvements, this should be noted on the nomination page.
Graphics (such as{{done}} and{{not done}}) are discouraged, as they slow down the page load time.
To provide constructive input on a nomination without specifically supporting or objecting, write* '''Comment''' followed by your advice.
The following lists were nominated almost 2 months ago and have had their review time extended because objections are still being addressed, the nomination has not received enough reviews, or insufficient information has been provided by reviewers to judge whether the criteria have been met. If you have not yet reviewed them, please take the time to do so:
In Bruges is a 2008black comedycrime film written and directed byMartin McDonagh in his feature-length directorial debut. The film follows Ray (Colin Farrell) and Ken (Brendan Gleeson), two Irishhitmen in hiding inBruges, Belgium, awaiting orders from their mob boss Harry (Ralph Fiennes). I am nominating this for featured list because I have put in a lot of effort recently to improve the quality. I have added all missing awards and the list is comprehensive, every award/nomination is referenced and I believe it meets all of the criteria. This is my first attempt at promoting a featured list, I have based it off other recently promoted film accolades lists. Any comments or suggestions welcome, and thanks in advance.Cavan121012 (talk)21:22, 15 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Although it is not required that the nominator have contributed to the list, it is greatly encouraged that they do so (as no list is perfect as-is; for example I can see grammar issues in the lede here just glancing over it), and the nomination instructions do state "Those who are not significant contributors to the list should consult regular editors of the list before nomination.", which has not been done here.

Closing note: Thiscandidate has beenarchived, but there may be a delay in bot processing of the close. Please seeWP:FLC/ar, and leave the{{featured list candidates}} template in place on the talk page until thebot goes through.
I started working on this list in October in mysandbox after theArab list passed, to which this is formatted similarly. This is a restoration of the first featured list on world heritage sites (i think), which was the first one covering a continent, not just a country; that's pretty cool. I will work on the Latin American list, then the Asian one, and then the European one. After that, I will reformatLists of World Heritage Sites to have more information and nominate that for FL as well.

Another list of national figure skating champions for your consideration. This one should be easier thanHungarian Figure Skating Championships, which was just promoted, because none of the sources are locked behind a paywall. They are, however, in Norwegian for the most part. While I don’t speak Norwegian, I found these sources easier to navigate because it turns out Norwegian (along with Swedish and Danish) have a lot of similarities to German (I am a German teacher). And while Norway has historically been a winter sports powerhouse, you can see from the tables that competitive figure skating has not been as big in Norway as it has been elsewhere. Special thank you toUser:Migrant for scanning pages from the Norwegian Skating Association’s handbook for me as well as other assistance with Norwegian. Please let me know if you have any concerns or suggestions, and thank you!Bgsu98(Talk)02:56, 8 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
There are few cells like Men's singles - 1897, where Johan Lefstad seems to have won gold but not have enough points to be the champion. The background color there is the same as for "No other competitors". I think it should be different. You do have a footnote added for each of these situations, otherwise a symbol would also be needed for them.
I am nominating this for featured list because this list has good prose, is comprehensive, and meets all requirements for accessibility and FL criteria. This is my third FL nomination and all comments will be appreciated. Regards,🍗TheNuggeteer🍗 (My"blotter")23:48, 7 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
You are correct, Nuggeteer, could you please add this to the article? it should just be alt= and then the sport that they are playing. You may also wish to do this with your previous nominationsUser:Easternsaharareview this16:37, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Exciting to see a Singapore list in FLC! I may conduct a full review in due time since I am a bit busy with IRL stuff, but for now, I note that [2] has a publication date whilst the rest of the Olympic sources don't.Template:Cite web says "if [the publication date is] unknown, use access-date instead".Icepinner07:08, 9 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Icepinner: "[2] has a publication date whilst the rest of the Olympic sources don't" I do not see any issue with this, as I used both publication date (if there is) and access date. I have also added the British ENGVAR template, but I used American English during the creation of this article, and it might raise some issues. Thank you for offering to review this article!🍗TheNuggeteer🍗 (My"blotter")09:52, 9 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for adding the British ENGVAR template,TheNuggeteer. Regarding the publication date, I may have misinterpreted it when I readthis FLC? Dunno, thought that consistent ref formatting is an unspoken rule of the FLC criteria? Anyways, that really isn't a big issue for me. I've some time to kill, and I have conducted a prose review since the article is pretty short. Feel free to disagree with the below if there are any issues.Icepinner14:53, 9 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Joseph Schooling won a gold medal when he succeeded in the Men's 100 meter butterfly. This also caused him to beat Michael Phelps' Olympic record in the event I am not sure if I like the wording here; the source states that "he clocked an Olympic record time of 50.39 seconds to beat swimming legend Michael Phelps to gold", but the article implies that Schooling winning a gold medal was the motivation to beat Philips (maybe I'm tired? Who knows).Icepinner14:53, 9 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Not a lot of issues I can find that impede the article from FL status. I'll take another look once the above issues (including the pictogram concerns) have been addressed.Icepinner14:53, 9 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Unless Singapore has no plans to ever compete at the Olympics again, then "Overall, Singapore won a gold medal, two silver medals, and three bronze medals, gaining a total of six medals." should be "Overall, Singaporehas won a gold medal, two silver medals, and three bronze medals, gaining a total of six medals." --ChrisTheDude (talk)16:28, 9 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
"The delegation won its first medal in the 1960 Summer Olympics " => "The delegation won its first medal at the 1960 Summer Olympics "
Fixed
"Overall, Singapore has won a gold medal, two silver medals, and three bronze medals, gaining a total of six medals." - are those last six words really needed? I would imagine that most readers can calculate 1+2+3.......
Removed
Link Singapore, Olympics, all the individual Olympics, Tan Howe Liang, etc in body as well as lead
I portray this as unnecessary overlinking perWP:LINKONCE: you should only link at most once in the first occurrence. Since the prose is short here, this list should especially follow this rule.
Further up that page it specifically says "But as a rule of thumb, link only the first occurrence of a term inboth the lead and body of the article" --ChrisTheDude (talk)12:35, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
" joined the high jump competition" => " competed in the high jump". "Joined the competition" makes it sound like he was just wandering past and thought "that looks fun, I'll join in" ;-)
Fixed
"Singapore has joined every Olympics edition" => "Singapore has taken part in every Olympics edition"
Fixed
"except in the 1980 Summer Olympics" => "except the 1980 Summer Olympics"
Fixed
"joining a boycott" => "when the country was one of many to boycott the event"
Fixed
Only two sentences in the history section have refs. Are those two refs citing everything in the paragraph?
Yes, they cite everything in the paragraph.
Medalist tables should sort based on surname, not forename
This is especially confusing. Singapore has numerous naming traditions and most of the athletes utilize Chinese naming traditions, likeLi Jiawei: Li is the family name. Some also have normal naming traditions (Joseph Schooling), causing the names to be unconsistent. Hence, I would suggest leaving it as it is.
After 18 years (10 not counting that hiatus) of working on all notable entries in theCrash Bandicoot video game series, it's time to cap things off with the comprehensive list of such. The lead is engaging as a summary of the series, just about every entry covered by reliable sources has been accounted for, all information comes with adequate citations and is laid out in a series of clean and navigable tables. If anything's amiss, please let me know!Cat's Tuxedo (talk)03:49, 2 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
All the tables need captions, which allow screen reader software to jump straight to named tables without having to read out all of the text before it each time. Visual captions can be added by putting|+ caption_text as the first line of the table code; if that caption would duplicate a nearby section header, you can make it screen-reader-only by putting|+ {{sronly|caption_text}} instead.(pleasemention me on reply) -MPGuy2824 (talk)11:26, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I think it is a data table because a data table is anything a layout table isn't. I understand that it doesn't seem like there are many numbers or classifications on it but I'd still think it is. For example, if you look at the World Heritage Site lists that have been promoted to FL, you can see that they don't have much 'data' as in numbers but they still have scope rows perMOS:DTAB: for example,List of World Heritage Sites in Venezuela. You could probably find other examples if you scroll through the FLC nominations right now, and open up their pages.
Also separate concern but if you look atList of genocides (sorry for the grim example, first one I could find), then you can see that the table has layered columns like this list and, accordingly, it has layered !scope="col"s for them. I recommend adding something like that to this list as well. For this list, it it could have "game" and under that "release date". On the right of those could be "release date by system" and under that could be "notes". Alternatively, you can also just change the table to give everything a column of its own.User:Easternsaharareview this02:10, 12 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Easternsahara,!scope="row" is syntax for the wikiengine to ensure that the cell is marked as a header (th instead of td), and it has the row scope in the html. Looking at the raw html for these tables, it has both. The templates that are used to generate the tables already has that logic built into it. -MPGuy2824 (talk)09:33, 13 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The table captions were in the wrong place, but I fixed that. Keep that in mind for your next video game list nom.
"The Crash Bandicoot series sold over 40 million copies worldwide across all titles by 2007" => "The Crash Bandicoot series had sold over 40 million copies worldwide across all titles by 2007"
Why is "Crash of the Titans" (handheld version) listed twice? The platforms are different, but further up you have a single entry for the console version, which was apparently released for four different platforms.....
@ChrisTheDude: The Nintendo DS and Game Boy Advance versions are different games. Unfortunately, the GBA version did not receive enough coverage to qualify for an individual page, so this isn't immediately obvious.Cat's Tuxedo (talk)10:39, 12 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
"Canceled near its completion to avoid competition with Mario Kart DS." and "Canceled due to low sales of Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time and a shift in focus toward live-service multiplayer games." are not sentences so should not have full stops
Hey y'all, mammal list #66 in our perpetual series and rodent list #11: Octodontidae. This is our 7th andfinal list covering the Caviomorpha parvorder, aka "things shaped kinda like guinea pigs", with the degus and rock rats, which look like half-rat, half-guinea pigs with tails. They're down at the bottom of South America, mostly up in the mountains and highlands and generally with relatively small ranges, so you almost certainly have never heard of them. There's 14 species, but the 3 that are trapped on an island or pretty restricted to wetlands are critically endangered, while the rest seem to just hang out in or near central Chile eating plants and not bothering anyone. This list was started byReconrabbit, who has also made several of the maps. As always, the list reflects the scientific consensus as well as the results of prior FLCs. Thanks for reviewing! --PresN03:53, 1 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
No issues at all with the prose. Just two suggestions:
Recommend wikilinking dung, as that (believe it or not) may not a term familiar to a lot of people.
The map showing Mocha Island, Chile doesn't really show us where the island is located. Since Chile is very long, we have no idea where along the coast the island is located.
Since I worked on this pretty heavily in its early stages I don't know how impartial I can be on a review but can at least vouch for the range maps I created being accurate. If there are any needed changes (as above) let me know. --Reconrabbit16:06, 1 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Reconrabbit: Ah, I'm so sorry, I forgot this was the one that you had put together last year, I meant to put that in the nomination statement. Yes, you did a bunch of work on this list, especially making those maps! --PresN16:37, 1 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think the maps from uk.wp could be higher resolution and zoomed in. If you can find replacements that do this, then I'd recommend to use those. Maps don't have alts, thats okay range is described in words. Usually, the recommendation would be to say "see range text" but that comes before the actual map, so I'd say its alr for them to not have alts. Just fix the 2 maps without sources and I'll pass.User:Easternsaharareview this16:49, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Easternsahara: Fixed the dead source, and removed the two maps from uk.wiki as they don't cite the source and are slightly off from the IUCN maps so I can't assume that was it. --PresN20:08, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This page is an attempt at a comprehensive and structured enumeration of the Greek gods, an endeavour which probably requires a fair bit more ambition than common sense. Deities have been grouped in a manner which is in line with authoritative sources, while hopefully still being fairly intuitive to the uninitiated reader.This section of the talk page explains the reasoning behind choices made during the writing of the article (in particular, see the points towards the end, which were made in anticipation of queries about links, dates, and the like). Also, it's worth noting the existence ofList of Mesopotamian deities, the only comparable featured list I'm aware of, andList of Hurrian deities andList of Ugaritic deities, two other well-written articles of a similar nature. –Michael Aurel (talk)05:04, 30 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've experienced the frustration of getting a large list through the FL nomination process so I'll help along by leaving a review (only partial for now, will expand later).

Maybe linkfestivals in "Greekcult, or religious practice, consisted of activities such as sacrifices, prayers,libations, festivals, and the building oftemples."
Yes, the redirect is why I linked that article though I agree that a separate article on Ancient Greek festivals would make more sense.Shwabb1⟨taco⟩09:04, 15 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
For Artemis, can you elaborate on what you mean by "transitions"? Does this mean seasons or all sorts of transitions in general?
The latter. Particularly important is her role in transitions between phases of life, though there are other sorts of "transitions" with which she's associated (Graf, for example, mentions that she is "a goddess of transition between the extremes of wilderness and culture"). I've added "such as coming of age" in brackets as an example of what we mean here. –Michael Aurel (talk)20:39, 14 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Also for Artemis, what's the reason for the addition of parentheses in "she presided over female (and male) initiation rites"? This can be interpreted as either her always presiding over female initiation rites and only sometimes male, or that it's unclear whether she was part of the male rites.
Her association with female initiation rites was more extensive, though you're probably right that these brackets will only cause confusion. Removed. –Michael Aurel (talk)20:39, 14 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
In Nature deities, change "were individually worshipped only in a specific town or area" to "were individually worshipped only in specific towns or areas"
It's a fairly minor point, but I think the original might be a touch less ambiguous. Each river god, for example, generally belonged to a single town; the latter phrasing leaves the semantic door ajar to the possibility that such gods were typically worshipped in certain groups of towns. I've swapped out "individually" for "each", which might make this phrase feel a little more natural. –Michael Aurel (talk)20:39, 14 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
For Gaia, consider capitalizing "the earth". Same for Helios ("The sun") and previously Apollo ("the sun").
Capitalised "sun" (here and elsewhere), as well as "moon". Regarding Gaia, I'm a bit more ambivalent: she undoubtedly personified the physical body on which humans and animals lived, though I hesitate to refer to her as the goddess of "the Earth", which perhaps has more astronomical connotations. Sources don't seem particularly consistent on the matter. –Michael Aurel (talk)20:57, 14 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Template:Transliteration seems more fitting thanTemplate:Lang, e.g., forMegaloi Theoi andTheoi in the Cabeiri section, as well as in other instances of Ancient Greek transliteration

Tables need captions, which allow screen reader software to jump straight to named tables without having to read out all of the text before it each time. Visual captions can be added by putting|+ caption_text as the first line of the table code; if that caption would duplicate a nearby section header, you can make it screen-reader-only by putting|+ {{sronly|caption_text}} instead. This is for the Draft selections table.
If the row header cell spans multiple rows with a rowspan, then use!scope=rowgroup instead of scope=row. This is for all the "protected players" tables. -MPGuy2824 (talk)05:44, 28 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Don't use only italics to convey information (protected player). This is ignored by screen-readers. Use a symbol instead of OR in addition to the italics. Make sure to add a legend/key.
P.S. Looking at the background section, a lot of the details there don't seem warranted: Introduce the Oak valley group and the team name while saying that the NHL BoG approved their addition, in a couple of sentences. Then move on to the last paragraph of that section with appropriate tweaks.
The lead looks very short at just three sentences. There's surely more that can be said.....?
"As general manager, Francis oversees" - the present tense here will eventually stop being accurate, so maybe change to "As general manager, Francis was given responsibility for"......?
"who were under contract for the 2021–22 season and played in at least 27 games in the 2020–21 season" => "who were under contract for the 2021–22 season and had played in at least 27 games in the 2020–21 season"
"The player with an NMC continuing past July 28, 2021, was deemed to have a career-threatening injury and is thus declared exempt from selection and use of a protection slot." => "The player had an NMC continuing past July 28, 2021, was deemed to have a career-threatening injury, and was thus declared exempt from selection and use of a protection slot."
"the 2021–22 salaries of the thirty players selected (as measured in terms of what is counted against the salary cap, had" - the closing bracket is missing
"On July 18, the protected player list, a list of players who the Kraken were not allowed to select during the draft" => "On July 18, the protected player list, a list of players whom the Kraken were not allowed to select during the draft"
"a three-day period where the Seattle Kraken could talk to unrestricted free agents (UFAs) begun" => "a three-day period during which the Seattle Kraken could talk to unrestricted free agents (UFAs) began"

Notes
Nine different candidates sought the Democratic nomination.
The article describes Gore's competition in the primary as "crowded", but did not cite numbers.
McGlamery did not actively campaign and only ran to prevent Gore from winning unopposed. On Election Day, Gore won in a landslide, receiving 94 percent of the vote.
This source verifies the first statement ("McGlamery did not..."). I recommend moving this citation to directly after that statement, as it does not verify that second statement ("On Election Day...").
He was challenged in the general election by Republican James B. Seigneur. Seigneur ran as he disliked the fact that Gore won unopposed in 1978; he criticized Gore's voting record, labeling it as "disgraceful".
This does support these statements. However, this is clearly a paid political advertisement as stated at the bottom of the page. Is this really the best source available?
A debate between Ashe and Gore was held on October 8, 1984.
Republican Representative Don Sundquist felt that Hawkins was a weak candidate and that Republicans would likely have a better chance of taking the seat in the 1996 election.
I do not see any mention of Hawkins being a weak candidate. If I have missed it, please let me know.
After being elected Vice President in the 1992 presidential election, Gore resigned from his Senate seat on January 2, 1993. Harlan Mathews was appointed to replace him by Governor Ned McWherter.
This is going to sound pedantic, but this article describes what would likely happen in the future. The article was written in December 29, 1992; it can't verify events that happened on January 2, 1993.Approved
He hoped to make up for his loss on Super Tuesday.
Following his victory in the 1992 Democratic Party presidential primaries, Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton considered around forty different politicians to be his running mate. His shortlist consisted of Gore, Senators Bob Graham of Florida, Bob Kerrey of Nebraska, Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia, and Harris Wofford of Pennsylvania, as well as Representative Lee Hamilton of Indiana's 4th congressional district.
This source does cites those names. In fact, this source cites everything in the above statement; you don't need source no. 52 here.Approved
Clinton announced his running mate at the Arkansas Governor's Mansion; during his speech, he emphasized Gore's work in protecting the environment and foreign policy.
His loss has also been attributed to the potentially misleading design of the butterfly ballots used in Palm Beach County, Florida, which heavily leans toward the Democrats, causing Gore voters to accidentally vote for Reform Party candidate Pat Buchanan.
Issue 2. No link exists for ref 7, you can download ithere
Recommend adding this link to the citation.
Not done, I'm citing the PDF file not the House page, It would be like linking to an Amazon listing for a book.
Okay, that's fine.Approved
Issue 3. Not from what I can tell
Say what?
What I meant to say was, from what I can tell this is the best source available. The election didn't get much coverage.
Okay, since what's being verified is what the candidate thought of Gore, it should be acceptable.Approved
Issue 6. The article is on two different pages, the link is to B11 while the fact in question is on B13
See the following to link regarding how to format two pages for the same article:Wikipedia:Newspapers.com#Citations across multiple pages/clippings. Also, I re-read the article on p. B13, and Sundquist does not mention Hawkins, nor does he say that Republicans would have a better chance of winning a seat in 1996. He simply notes that Gore's seat would likely be vacated if he chooses to run for president. If you want to use this source, I recommend a slight rewrite to better reflect what the source actually says.
Fixed the citation formatting. However, B13 says: "... the weakness of the Tennessee GOP, as evidenced by their failure to put up strong candidates against Gov. Ned McWherter and Sen. Albert Gore Jr." I did tweak the wording slightly as he says that there was a "very good chance to topple Sasser"Approved

As my current nom already has three supports I figure I am OK to start another one, so here is this year's list of U.S. country number ones. All 81 previous lists are already FLs and I hope this one will be able to join that list. I realise there are still four charts to go this year, but you know you can count on me to update the article :-) Some of the references are not archived but that's because the IABot is having issues again. Hopefully I will be able to archive the rest at some point..... --ChrisTheDude (talk)08:33, 25 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
In the table, the scopes for the "Hot Country Songs", and "Country Airplay" should be "colgroup". This probably needs to be fixed for the previous years as well.
The table caption should probably be "Chart histories" given that there are two charts.
"second artist to top the chart as both a solo artist and as a member of a duo or group." A footnote saying thatTyler Hubbard was the first seems warranted.
"Shaboozey's song held the top spot for the first six weeks of the year, taking its total run at number one to 33 weeks," comparable values should either all be in figures or all in words. -MPGuy2824 (talk)09:33, 25 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This is probably a matter of personal preference, but I would remove the "the"s from phrases such as "the rapper BigXthaPlug", "the country singer Bailey Zimmerman", and "the pop singer Tate McRae".
Other than that, the prose is good and I see no issues with the table. Since my only comment is merely a suggestion, I will go ahead andsupport right now.
Ref 5 appears to be syndicated content from "The Grio" and should be marked as being "The Grio" and "via AOL"
Ref 6 is titled "Chappell Roan's 'The Giver'..." with apostrophe, however, the article cited is titled "Chappell Roan’s “The Giver”" with quotation marks. Is there a reason for this?
Linking is consistent
Dates are consistent

Unrelated, I'd clarify the year of Hubbard's achievement to help give a scale of how rare it is for someone to do.

Some of the sentences in the lead's first paragraph have quite a few parentheses. If possible, I'd recommend trying to move some of this information into the article's main text or otherwise performing some reworking here.
Natural features (consisting ... are defined as natural heritage. – I'd suggest reworking this sentence so that it begins in "Natural heritage includes ..." (or similar) for parallelism and so that the reader understands what we're listing from the outset.
Personally, I disagree, the good thing about parentheses is that the reader can skip over them and they list things very well.
Libya accepted the convention on 13 October 1978 – I would either move this sentence to before the definitions of natural and cultural heritage or I would restate the convention's full name, as "the convention" is here referring to something mentioned a few sentences back.
The reader must know what the convention that Libya signed entails before this sentence has any meaning to them. Also, since we're on a list about World Heritage Sites, it is very obvious that this is the World Heritage Convention.
a further three on the tentative list – Hmm, is "the tentative list" an official title? If so, I would think it should be capitalised.
All five sites are listed due to their cultural significance. – Hasn't this more or less already been said (or at least implied) above?
No, there are three types of World Heritage Sites, natural sites, cultural sites, and mixed sites. This is explained in the first paragraph.
I see what's meant now. This hasn't really been explained, though: we state that World Heritage Sites are "of importance to cultural or natural heritage", and we define those two terms. I think the reader could be forgiven for interpreting the sentence as a generic statement that "The sites are culturally significant", without piecing together that "cultural significance" here refers to specific criteria for a site's inclusion on grounds of cultural heritage. –Michael Aurel (talk)02:47, 1 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
In 2025, the List of World Heritage in Danger – This was linked in the previous sentence. I'd suggest either including the full name there or otherwise removing one of the links.
and came under the Romans in 46 BCE. – "came under Roman control", perhaps?
Changed control to rule, but done
birthplace of the Septimius Severus. – omit "the"
Done
I'd include some dates for Septimius Severus.
After becoming the Emperor – linkRoman emperor, remove "the", and remove capitalisation
Linked roman emperor, kept "the" perWP:FALSETITLE Sure its not a part of MOS, but it improves clarity which the MOS encourages
For a phrase to be a false title, it needs to come before the person's name: "convicted bomber" isn't a false title unless it's part of "convicted bomber Timothy McVeigh". On the use of "emperor" specifically, compareRoman emperor: "When a given Roman is described as becomingemperor in English, ...". –Michael Aurel (talk)02:47, 1 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
he rebuilt and enlarged the city and made it one of the most – Avoid the repetition of "and". Perhaps use a comma after "city" and then start from there with "transforming" or "turning" (or similar).
Founded as ... and then part of – This doesn't work grammatically.
Changed
This is an improvement. I'll put another beat on my drum about including dates, though, and once they're included it might be better to split the sentence. –Michael Aurel (talk)03:19, 1 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Sabratha got absorbed – "was" is preferable in formal writing.
done
absorbed in the Roman province of Africa in 46 BCE. – "absorbedinto"
done
It was prospering in the 2nd and 3rd centuries – "It prospered"
done
the 2nd and 3rd centuries when numerous monuments – "during which"
done
including a theatre with three orders of columns – By "order", are we referring to the subject ofthis article?
Its fortunes turned in the 4th century with the decline in trade. – I'd excise the expression "fortunes turned", and explain where or with whom trade declined.
the Byzantines until – "Byzantines, before"
done
after the Arab invasions between the 7th and 11th centuries. – I'm not sure the use of two temporal indicators ("after", "between") works so well here. Maybe write "of the 7th and ..."?
It was a major city of the Hellenistic and, later, Roman world. – I'd try to include a bit more detail here. "world" should also be plural.
the Jewish revolt in 116 – "of"
done
It's worth noting that the last date mentioned before 116 is 631 BCE. Is there any reason to not write this as "116 CE" (and to perhaps do so across the page), to avoid ambiguity?
The rock paintings and engravings in the Acacus Mountains – Worth noting that the entries up until now haven't relinked the site's name in the "Description" column.
were created over thousands of years, from 12,000 BCE to 100 CE. – "over thousands of years" is probably redundant, given we've supplied dates which convey the same thing with more precision.
removed
They reflect the changes – By "they", do you mean the phases?
during and after the African humid period – PerMOS:NOFORCELINK, I would give some indication of when this was.
Being occupied since at least the late 1st millenium BCE, – "Being" can be omitted.
done
The town has developed its own unique architectural style, adjusted to the harsh desert climate. – What sort of time period are we talking about here? "has" makes it sound as though we might be talking about architecture of recent times.
removed has
next floor is for families, – "is living space", perhaps?
has the nickname "the Pearl of the Desert" from Arab sources. – Which sources? From when?
on the List of World Heritage in Danger, in 2016 – The comma can be omitted.
done
due to the civil conflict, – Which civil conflict?
List of World Heritage in Danger, – I'd try to rework things so we don't need to repeat the full title.
Tentative list – Per above, I wonder if the full term should be capitalised? (This applies below as well.)
no
In addition to sites inscribed on the World Heritage List, – "inscribed" implies physical etching of some nature; I'm not sure it's the right word here.
I see, Oxford Languages marks this as an archaic usage, though the OED apparently doesn't agree (and we'd be better off following the latter). Happy to retract this. –Michael Aurel (talk)02:47, 1 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
list of tentative sites that they may consider for nomination. – The use of "they" makes it sound a bit as though Libya itself is the one considering them for nomination.
Libya maintains three properties – "has three sites", perhaps?
has kinda implies that these are permanent, but they are removed if they fail, if the state party wants to withdraw them, or if they are inscribed. maintain is better here
The remains of the settlement are well–preserved, – hyphen
done
It illustrates the adaptation – "it" doesn't have a clear antecedent here.
with aspects such as water management. – "aspects" of what?
The findings in the two extensive necropolises demonstrate a dynamic interchange between the Romans and the local populations. – If possible, I'd try to be a bit more specific. What was being interchanged between the two groups?
It was one of the five important cities that formed the Pentapolis of Cyrenaica. – I would omit "important", as otherwise it could sound as though there were other, unimportant cities that were part of the Pentapolis.
done
during the Hellenistic and later Roman periods – A bit of a nitpick, but "later" could make it sound as though we're talking about "later Roman periods"as opposed to some earlier Roman periods.
encased in commas to prevent confusion
Actually, to go one step further, I would be explicit about the time periods we're referencing here, as some readers won't know the dates of the Hellenistic period, for example.
periods and in the 4th century surpassed Cyrene that was damaged by earthquakes. – I'd suggest some rewriting here. In what regard did it surpass Cyrene?
The remains of the city illustrate the cohabitation of different faiths and cultures. – "document", or "reveal", perhaps? The word "illustrate" initially led me think we might be leading into a broader point.
Monuments from different time periods have been preserved, including a unique type of a mausoleum. – To what period or culture did this mausoleum belong? I'd cut the first part of the sentence (and include a little more detail), or try to rework it so it's saying something more concrete.
the Middle Paleolithic, stone blades from the Upper Paleolithic, – Similar to some suggestions above, it might be a good idea to give the reader a more precise idea of when these periods were.
includes traces of ... stone flake tools from ... stone blades from ... the beginning of farming – The last item in this list doesn't cohere with the others.
10,000-7000 years ago – endash
done
including the African humid periods ("green Sahara") – Hmm, where is this quote coming from?
It also provides a record of ... which allowed people to cross what is today a desert. – It sounds a bit as though the records were what allowed people to do the crossing.
All in all, it's a pleasant and interesting read. The only concerns are some fairly minor points of grammar and clarity. I'll let you get a handle on these prose suggestions, and then I'll do a few spot checks just to make sure everything's in order in that regard. –Michael Aurel (talk)11:25, 30 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hey all, mammal list #65 in our perpetual series and rodent list #10: Capromyidae. This is our second-to-last list covering the Caviomorpha parvorder, aka "things shaped kinda like guinea pigs", with the hutias, which look like giant guinea pigs with tails. It's an odd list with 10 living species in the Caribbean and 8 extinct ones, largely because, as the extinct species lived on smaller islands, when Europeans brought Old World rats over on their ships starting in the 1500s, the hutias got out-competed and had nowhere to go to get away. 6 of the remaining species are endangered or critically endangered as well, so as a whole this family isn't doing so hot.

Consider having a separate symbol and color for elements that are also on the "Intangible Cultural Heritage of Ukraine" list
I've considered that before but ultimately decided not to do it. If I remember correctly, my reasoning was that this wouldn't cover many items (only three), and if I also have a separate color for the UNESCO list specifically, that would further divide that into two and one. The National Register of Intangible Cultural Heritage doesn't get updated very often (usually once in a few months), and of 117 items currently inscribed, only 3 are also registered as GIs, so I wouldn't expect the overlap to widen significantly as both registers expand. I mentioned this information in the descriptions to show that these items are protected not only as products on the market, but also as traditions. While I believe that this information is worth mentioning, I don't think it's important enough to highlight it with a separate symbol and color. If the overlap was bigger, though, I would consider this important enough. I'm not strongly committed to keeping it as is though, so if you think it still makes sense to mark the ICH elements, I can do that.
since the table is sortable, you'll have to wikilink things multiple times if they appear for different elements, since you aren't sure which of the row will appear on top.
The ref pdfs are images, which means that I cannot copy the text to google translate and check, but there are quite a few uses of "unique" and "distinctive" used throughout the table that would be consideredPUFFERY IMO. If the refs do use similar words, then they might be ok.
Yes, the sources often use words "характерний" and "особливий" (unique/distinctive), "неповторність" (uniqueness), etc. I think this is justified in this case because the entire point of GI labels is to protect products that have special characteristics.

I'm not sure what "sunlight more scattered and intense" means in this context, but to me those two adjectives are near-antonyms.
That's what the sources say... I understand the scattering part, as the light scatters once it is reflected by the water. I'm not so sure about the intensity, but, as I understand, the light can be spread out (scattered) but still bright (intense). I can't comment on the physics behind this, especially considering thedifferent definitions of light intensity.
According to[1] the direct sunlight is scattered, while the reflected sunlight (from water surfaces) is more intense than normal. Only incorporate that if you can find a good way to do it.
At least in the original wording, direct sunlight is not mentioned, and it may be interpreted that both "reflected" and "scattered" refer to the same sunlight, although you may be right that they do not. But I agree that this is confusing, so I removed the mention of scattered sunlight.Shwabb1⟨taco⟩09:57, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I think the list would benefit by having images illustrate each example where possible.
I've tried that in the old versions of the draft but unfortunately there were no images for the majority of the products, so I opted to useTemplate:Multiple image instead. Also, there were some images of dubious copyright (likethe only image of Tavria brandy), as well as some that are hard to categorize (this is obviously a wine from Shabo, but unclear whether it falls under AO Chabag or GI Acha-Abag).
For example,this image is of melitopol cherries on uk.wp,this cheese, etc.
Bryndza can refer to a number of cheeses, and what is shown on the second image is indeed some sort of bryndza, but I can't confirm that that is Hutsul bryndza (and even if it were, it's still unclear whether that's the sheep's milk or cow's milk kind). However, I'm leaning towards it not being Hutsul bryndza because, as far as I can tell, the protected kind is crumbled and sold in jars.
is there relevant information about GIs in the russian occupied territories? you kind of touch on this in footnote d, but I would like some information to be integrated into the body of the article
The most important information regarding GIs in Russian-occupied territories is that many of them (at least Crimean wines and Melitopol cherries, according to the sources) have been appropriated and are sold by Russia despite their Ukrainian GI labels. At the moment, I think the footnote explains everything well, but if you think I can condense the info and add a brief mention in the main text, where would it fit best?Shwabb1⟨taco⟩08:43, 13 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@DrKay If people who have not at all been involved with writing the article want to come by and revert to the old timeline without explanation, then I can't stop them. The two most recent edit summaries have been "let's bring the old timeline chart back" and "old timeline is better. If you want to change it, then I recommend we discuss about it in the talk page." I asked for semi-protection atWP:RPP/I due to what I considered persistent vandalism but the request was declined. Is it fair on me, having put hours into writing the article, that its FLC does not pass because people drive-by revert my work without explanation?

In my opinion the constant changing of the images and timeline warrants semi-protection but that has been denied. I'm waiting for the current deletion discussion to end and if it is deleted we will revert to the image that used to be there.

Oppose onWP:FL?#6 (It is not the subject of ongoing edit wars). I agree with DrKay: it does not matter if the current version is objectively better, we cannot promote a list if it is not stable. FromWP:EW:An editor who repeatedly restores their preferred version is edit warring, regardless of whether those edits are justifiable. As such, I don't think you were reverting vandalism, so believe it isnot covered underWP:3RRNO.

Here is the Grand Prix Final. All of the results have been verified and sourced, the tables should be properly formatted, and the sources should be properly formatted. I look forward to your constructive feedback or suggestions.Bgsu98(Talk)20:39, 8 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Stellar work as ever. The only thing I would suggest is to merge the two paragraphs about COVID together, as the first is only two sentences and doesn't really need to stand alone. Oh, and I think "that is, in a cluster made up exclusively of individuals who have been thoroughly tested and unlikely to spread infection" should just be "that is, a cluster made up exclusively of individuals who have been thoroughly tested and unlikely to spread infection"
Only one problem that I could see: In the "Most gold medals by skater" tables, the scope for the header cells which span multiple rows should be "rowgroup". e.g. 4, 8 and 10 in the women's singles table. -MPGuy2824 (talk)06:54, 19 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The 9th in the Indian constituency series. I've improved the lead, including some history, and brought the table accessibility to FL-standards. Similar, recent FL:Rajasthan. -MPGuy2824 (talk)12:23, 2 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Drive-by comment - Modern featured lists do not start sections with "The following is a list of the", as it is tautological. Consider something like: There are x constituencies of the Jharkhand Legislative Assembly...."Mattximus (talk)15:21, 2 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
"Its seat is at Ranchi, the capital of the state and it sits" => "Its seat is at Ranchi, the capital of the state, and it sits"
"81 single-seat constituencies, who each directly elect a representative" => "81 single-seat constituencies, each of which directly elects a representative"
"Jharkhand was formed in 2000, when the state of Bihar was split, after the passage of the Bihar Reorganisation Act, 2000." => "Jharkhand was formed in 2000 when the state of Bihar was split after the passage of the Bihar Reorganisation Act, 2000."
I am nominating this for featured list because I believe that this list meets all the criteria of FL and that it's a step in promoting articles related to the Maldives on Wikipedia.UnilandofmaTalk09:12, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The second president on the table has no source anywhere in his row. Additionally, if you are using one source for all of the information in a particular row, then there should be a separate column for sources down the far right hand column. Otherwise, the presence of the source in only one cell implies that it is referencing only the contents of that one cell.Bgsu98(Talk)15:12, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
User:Unilandofma: Several of your notes (c through g) are not full sentences, so they therefore shouldn't end with a period. I will try to do your source review later this evening when I get home from work.Bgsu98(Talk)15:14, 8 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Looking at the notes, if the word "president" is used as a title, then I believe it needs to be capitalized (ie. "President Yameen"). SeePresident of the Maldives. Also, in notes C and G, you do not need the "the" in front of "Article 122". PerConstitution of the Maldives, "Constitution" should be capitalized in this context.
In note A, change the comma to a semicolon after "Monarchy restored".
Note D is awkwardly written. "Removed from power... by president Yameen by a vote taken..." Too many phrases starting with "by". Same with note E.Bgsu98(Talk)01:10, 9 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Additionally, the caption of the president does not need the term "the incumbent". Recommend simply "Mohamed Muizzu, President of the Maldives since 2023".Bgsu98(Talk)01:15, 9 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
User:Unilandofma: It looks like you have a few instances of "vice President" as a result of converting lower-case to capital. Correct those to "Vice President" and I'll be happy to support this list.Bgsu98(Talk)12:27, 9 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
To expand on Chris' point above, color should not be the only way to distinguish something: use a symbol (and a legend) too. SeeList of World Heritage Sites in Burkina Faso for an example of this.
Use{{abbr|Ref.|Reference(s)}} as the header of the Ref column.
The name column sortability needs to be based on last name. Use the{{sortname}} template.
Tables need column scopes for all column header cells, which in combination with row scopes lets screen reader software accurately determine and read out the headers for each cell of a data table. Column scopes can be added by adding!scope=col to each header cell, e.g.! Elected becomes!scope=col | Elected. If the cell spans multiple columns with a colspan, then use!scope=colgroup instead.
Please seeMOS:DTAB for example table code if this isn't clear.
Try to use the same wikitext for the names in the Vice-president and president column, That way it is more obvious that there are commonalities between the columns.(pleasemention me on reply) -MPGuy2824 (talk)02:56, 2 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I think you should change the alt text for Ibrahim Muhammad's image. It makes it sound like he's still the acting president.
The{{Multiple image}} template isn't compatible withMOS:UPRIGHT. I suggest that you use separated images, one after the other. Alternatively, since you don't mention either of those buildings in the lead, you can replace these images with one of the incumbent president. -MPGuy2824 (talk)05:39, 2 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The lead image caption is not a sentence so it should not have a full stop
"when president Mohamed Amin Didi was nearly beaten to death.[6] After he died of his injuries....." - so apparently hewas beaten to death.....?
"President Mohamed Amin Didi was the shortest-serving president" => "Mohamed Amin Didi was the shortest-serving president"
Sorting the first column puts the dash value at the top, meaning that it isn't possible to sort the table back into chronological order. Use a hidden sorting template so that the dash sorts between 1 and 2
The vacant/abolished rows also need hidden sorting templates so that they sort in the right place
Hi Chris! I implemented your comments to the article besides the ones you made about the table. Could you specify what you mean by a hidden sorting template as I have no idea what you mean by that. Thanks!UnilandofmaTalk17:17, 3 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The president serves as the commander-in-chief of the Maldives National Defence Force and leads the cabinet of the country.
I have no idea what this source is, because it is written in another language I don't recognize. Wikipedia's article simply calls itMaldivian language. The language code is dv, so I will add it to the citation.
Hi, I've fixed the issue. As for the old.majlis.gov.mv source, it's asitee (letter) by then president Mohamed Waheed to the parliament speaker calling for a vote to OK his appointment of vice president Waheeduddin under Article 122 of the constitution.UnilandofmaTalk00:51, 9 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It is multiple pages of scanned documents and IDs. You could clarify in the citation which page has the document to which you are referring. However, since the second source you cite verifies all of the information, it is not a big deal.Bgsu98(Talk)01:05, 9 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'm nominating this article as it has now undergone a major overhaul by me.
I went through this article and extensively copyedited it, fixing spelling, grammar, punctuation and tone. The next biggest thing I focussed on was stopping names and job titles from being needlessly repeated, for example changing 'President Trump' to simply 'Trump' once the title was introduced (same for Mike Pence). For other people given a job title, I've made it so that their full name is introduced first, then after that their last name is only used.MOS:JOBTITLES was observed, and I've decapitalised titles where necessary.
For Wikilinking, I've ensured that the first instance of something is the only time it is linked, and any subsequent mentions of it are not. In terms of information, every dot point is sourced, with many being supported by multiple citations. There are only two days (Sunday, March 12 and Saturday, March 25) that do not have any events listed. This page is relatively stable; it hasn't been through any recent major edits before mine, though it did go through a couple of name changes earlier in the year.
I'm hoping this can pass the featured list criteria following my edits. Thank you in advance to those who choose to review this!Newbzy (talk)08:24, 28 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Everything after the lead sentence could be moved to "See also"
Done.
The "Economy and employment" image is missing a caption, a source, and alt text
Comment: I ended up removing this image after I merged the 'economy and employment' section into the lead.
Expand the "Public opinion" section
Done.
"[45th] [president of the United States]" and "[48th] [vice president]" are bothMOS:SEAOFBLUE violations
Fixed.
Clarify that Trump and Pence took different oaths of office
Done.
Also Pence should be before Trump as the Veep is sworn in before the President
Fixed.
Under "Tuesday, February 14", "[Governor of New Jersey] [Chris Christie]" is a SEAOFBLUE violation, there is likely more like this on the page.
Fixed, along with other linked 'Governor of [state] [person]' instances.
Under "Friday, February 24", why is the NYT before the others? Also why aren't CNN and BBC italicized?
Partly done: I've made it an alphabetical list. The BBC and CNN's names aren't italicised because the titles of the articles for them do not use italics.
Under "Week 8" disambiguate "Democratic"
Done.
Did nothing happen on "Sunday, March 12"?
Added: I also found something to add for Saturday, March 25.
Under "Sunday, March 26", I'd link "American Israel Public Affairs Committee" instead of "(AIPAC)"
The lead does not fulfill its purpose of providing an overview of the article (it's literally just one sentence, which almost certainly violatesWP:THISISALIST, and then a bunch of stuff which should be at the bottom under "see also"). But then you have an actual "overview" section to start off the body, which isn't an overview, because it only covers two very specific points......? --ChrisTheDude (talk)11:56, 29 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@ChrisTheDude: please see the changes I've made to the lead. It now has a paragraph about Trump's 2017 transition, two paragraphs about the content of the list itself, and a final paragraph merging the 'overview' section's content into one and elaborating on the public opinion of Trump during the quarter.Newbzy (talk)05:31, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'll also add a drive-by comment here: what are the selection criteria for the list? Given how much coverage the American presidency will always receive, we probably need something to weed out the trivial stories from each day.RunningTiger123 (talk)05:04, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
That's a good point, and it's probably a matter that would require consensus, as opposed to just me picking and choosing. I will say, though, that none of the listed events seem that trivial, especially as Trump's term and its actions were so controversial.Newbzy (talk)09:05, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
My thoughts: an event should only be included here if (a) it is notable enough for its own article or (b) it received retroactive coverage, not just coverage at the time (or, if it's an event that wasn't public, not just when the details were made public). So for instance, the inauguration and the executive orders from January 20 would be good, but the changes to FHA premiums would not. But I wouldn't try to enforce that unless other reviewers agreed to similar criteria.RunningTiger123 (talk)23:05, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'll conduct the source review for this behemoth of an article. Given the sheer size of the section (well over 400 references!), I'll break this review into three sections: reliability, consistency/formatting, and spotchecks. Once each section is done, we will move on to the next, before a final check.UpTheOctave! • 8va?14:58, 12 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
What makesBallotpedia a reliable source perWP:BALLOTPEDIA?
Fixed: I replaced Source 4 with aThe New York Times citation.
What makes ref 27 (Google Docs) a reliable source?
Fixed: Turns out this source wasn't even accessible. I found aUSA Today citation to replace it and updated the information.
What makesBusiness Insider a reliable source perWP:BI?
Fixed: I either replaced the citations with more reliable source(s), or else removed them because a successive footnote was adequate. The new citations came fromThe Washington Post, CNBC,The Guardian, CNN and Reuters.
What makes ref 51 (aForbes contributor) a reliable source perWP:FORBESCON?
Fixed: I replaced it with aThe Indian Express citation.
What makes this article from theTimes of India a reliable source perWP:TIMESOFINDIA?
Fixed: I replaced Source 58 with a CNN citation.
What makesFox News a reliable source for American politics perWP:FOXNEWSPOLITICS?
Fixed: Citations removed or replaced with more reliable source(s). New cites came from ABC News,The Guardian,The New York Times, NPR, CNN, C-SPAN andPolitico.
What makes theWashington Times a reliable source for American politics perWP:WASHINGTONTIMES?
Fixed: I replaced Source 126 with an ABC News citation and Source 312 with a CBS News citation.
What makes theBoston Herald a reliable source for American politics?
Fixed: I replaced Source 386 with aUSA Today citation.
@UpTheOctave!: The problem cites have been corrected. Please see my annotations under each point you have raised.
Happy with above; couple extras:
What makesWP:HUFFPOST a reliable source for American politics?
As above, what makes Fox Business a reliable source for American politics?
Completed: Citations replaced with sources byThe Guardian and NPR.
Consistency
Inconsistent citation style: you have a mix of CS1 and CS2 citations, which should be standardised
Done: As I understand it, a CS2 citation uses the{{citation}} template, whereas citations using all the other templates{{cite web}},{{cite news}} etc. are CS1s. There were two citations using{{citation}}, which I changed to use{{cite web}}.
Inconsistent use of archive links
Done (thank goodness).
Politely suggest using a consistent casing for reference titles
Question: there was this one citation whose title used all caps, I changed it to use title case as it was so distracting. Do you mean I should change the sources' titles to all use sentence case or to all use title case, though?
Inconsistent linking of publisher/work
In progress: this is what I'll be fixing next.
Inconsistent use of the url access parameter. Please include for all paywalled or subscription-walled sources
Done: did my best with this.
Inconsistent use of ISSNs for periodicals
Question: would there be some tool I could use to add this information? I don't even know how to manually find ISSNs.
Satisfied with above. I've identified some larger issues with formatting consistency above; will move on to individual comments on sources once these are completed.UpTheOctave! • 8va?19:16, 24 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@UpTheOctave!: I'm finally back. All those archive links! I'm not quite done yet, but I'd like some additional guidance before I continue please. I've put a couple questions under the issues raised.Newbzy (talk)19:45, 13 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Re titling, it istechnically required by the criteria that sources should consistently use either title or sentence case only. It's really no big deal, though, and I would never oppose over this issue only. ISSNs can be found at the ISSN portal <https://portal.issn.org/>.UpTheOctave! • 8va?15:25, 14 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This is the list of governors of Nigeria's state ofImo from when the region was calledEastern then split intoEast Central and two other states, then East Central was splitted intoAnambra andImo states. I have significantly worked on this and it now meets thecriteria for FL. Feedback would be very much appreciated. Thank you already.
You'll need to use the upright param for the locator map image, instead of a pixel size (MOS:UPRIGHT).
For the alt-text of the same map, don't describe what the image is; instead describe what the image shows. For this one it could be something like "Imo state is in the south of Nigeria".
My point was that the imageis a "Map of Nigeria showing Imo State", but what you might have wanted a sighted person to notice is the relative location of the state within Nigeria. But, re-readingMOS:ALTMAP, it looks like "the colour, position, and size of elements are not important" for alt-text. @Easternsahara, since you pointed out this link to me, do you have thoughts on this? -MPGuy2824 (talk)10:45, 21 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yes that is what the alt text should be according to ALTMAP "Imo state is in southern Nigeria" or something similar. Thanks, 🇪🇭🇵🇸🇸🇩Easternsahara 🇪🇭🇵🇸🇸🇩12:23, 21 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Add birth and death date for Sunday Ajibade Adenihun which was 1939 and 2008
"Before 1976, the area lay within the Eastern Region. After the regional system was dissolved on 27 May 1967" - is one of those dates a typo?
Whoops, good catch. It was supposed to be East Central State. Fixed. -VWF
"However, following Nigeria’s first military coup in January 1966, the military abolished the regional system, dismissed civilian premiers, and appointed military administrators, with Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu governing the Eastern Region from January 1966 until its dissolution in May 1967" - if the region existed until 1967 then the regional system can't have been abolished in 1966
Good catch again. Fixed. -VWF
"Administrators were usually appointed to rule a state when there is" - the tenses of the two verbs don't agree
Fixed. -VWF
"as part of a nationwide restructuring executed by the military government of Murtala Mohammed" - almost identical wording appears in the previous section, there's no need to say it twice
Yeah, removed. -VWF
"who initially contested in the 2011 election" => "who initially contested the 2011 election"
Fixed, with thanks. -VWF
Because the "term in office" column isn't sortable, if you sort based on the governor's name then it's impossible to get the table back into date order
I just tried it, and was able to get the sortation back to date order. -VWF
Source 1 does reference directly to Imo State, so how could it be used to verify such. Again, I advise you to remove it as the honorific titles must be cited.
ALL Nigerian State governors are referred to with that honorific title, with that in mind and with the source verifying that honorific prefix, I don’t see how it is a problem. Other lists have used this format and cited this source. -VWF
Is the source 3 fromThe Punch necessary? I doubt the reliability in this context as the author used Wikipedia to do his/her research; it was written in the article, hence there is no need to cite that "Imo State is located in the South East geopolitical zone of Nigeria". You could simply start with "Imo State, a state in Nigeria, ....".
I saw that isvery partly mentioned Wikipedia reporting something; it is evident that the piece was largely and original work and not FULLY Wikipedia-based. -VWF
TheISSN of source 27 Is not showing any data, likewisethat of source 31
A good advice: I suggest taking it to the sources noticeboard, that it may be discussed and subsequently, if possible, be added to the reliable sources of Wikipedia. I am happy tosupport.Safari ScribeEdits!Talk!15:34, 14 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I am nominating this for featured list because... 1. to finish work on a Ken Carson studio albums good topic, and 2. I think I've got everything down? Not sure if I need to include his production work (honestly I don't know where information on that is rn) or would have to put that in a separate page.
Tables need captions, which allow screen reader software to jump straight to named tables without having to read out all of the text before it each time. Visual captions can be added by putting|+ caption_text as the first line of the table code; if that caption would duplicate a nearby section header, you can make it screen-reader-only by putting|+ {{sronly|caption_text}} instead.
In 2019, he signed to Playboi Carti's record label Opium and the following year released two EPs, Boy Barbie and Teen X, the latter which spawned his first hit single "Yale". This feels a little bit runny to me. Consider instead:In 2019, he signed to Playboi Carti's record label, Opium. The following year, he released two EPs, Boy Barbie and Teen X. The latter spawned his first hit single, "Yale".
Following the release of the Teen X: Relapsed EP earlier that year, This doesn't make sense timeline-wise for me. The previous sentence refers to him releasing two EPs in 2020, neither of which areTeen X: Relapsed. Maybe add some more clarification here? I'm assuming you mean 2021, based on what's said later, but reading it is a little confusing.
I understand there are not many free images of Carson to work with. Perhaps add an image of one of the artists he worked with under "Guest appearances", such asYoung Thug?
A quick skim reveals some similar articles that include production work. SeeNas discography for an example. I've noticed some articles split discography and production into two different articles as well; seeKanye West discography. I think the article title may need to change if you intend to split these into two pages. At the very least, I think you should track down an RS that describes some of his production work.Staraction (talk |contribs)18:52, 11 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Refs 13, 14, and 17 seem to have website formatted wrong
Linking is inconsistent, for example "HotNewHipHop" is linked in ref 43 but not 41
Dates are not consistent, some use slash dates some use MDY
I think things like refs 3 and 4 should be EFNs and the sources they cite should be individual entries under references and not just grouped under the one
Of note, many of those EPs and Mixtapes (particularly Lost Files 2-4) are listed as having been released on streaming, yet I didn't see them onSpotify,SoundCloud, orTidal. Is there any information regarding this. Were they released and then "unreleased" for a particular reason. Did they never exist on streaming?
The following nominations do not require comments, but are included for bookkeeping purposes. The discussion of each TV season list takes place at the respective "season 1" nomination below.
Recently these featured lists on seasons have been delisted, seethe recent FLRC log. This was because of aconsensus at the FLC talk page. This was also brought toMOS:TV's talk page (I am not able to find a link to that). Both these discussions stated that season lists should not be lists if they are properly developed. If they are not properly developed, then they can not be featured. I am nominating this to speed up the process, and I recommend to voters in this FLRC that you also nominate some lists of seasons.User:Easternsaharareview this01:32, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Most of the season lists have been delisted per the consensus. I am nominating this to speed up the process, and I encourage those who are participating in the nomination to also nominate one by going toWP:FL and picking a season list of their choice.User:Easternsaharareview this01:16, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I think a larger discussion with more visibility to Wikiproject Astronomy, perhaps a request for consensus may be warranted. However, I have consulted people on the discord, and they don't seem to regard these types of articles as lists, which is understandable. In terms of content, there is only so much that a page can include without becoming an article. So, I woulddelist as the list isn't the main focus of this page. Also, I don't think it would be warranted to split the actual list of moons out, perWP:NOPAGE.User:Easternsaharareview this01:21, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The article is currently in a very disorganized state, with serious mismatches between the table headers and their corresponding content. In the first half of the list, the "Year listed" and "UNESCO data" columns appear to have been swapped, while in the latter part, the "Year listed" column instead displays locations. This seems to be an error caused by an incomplete update to the table format.
In the Tentative list section, only the names of the sites are provided. While that might have been acceptable when the list was promoted in 2010, current standards—following the examples of newer FLs such asList of World Heritage Sites in Italy—require this section to be presented in a proper table with additional details and descriptions.
Therefore, I believe the article no longer meets the criteria for a FL due to its insufficient content and structural issues, and its delisting should be considered.Nebulatria (talk)20:59, 6 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I started working on this list a while ago to bring it up with the recent FL standards, since it was promoted before I started working on these lists systematically (as well as Madagascar, Cuba, Peru, and maybe some other). It definitely need work, which will be done eventually, it is just a question whether it is better to delist and renominate when fixed or wait until it is fixed. I may assist but cannot commit to fix it fully. --Tone13:38, 7 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I've nominated this list because I don't believe it was properly scrutinized during the review process and simply is not up to FL levels as of right now. SeeTalk:List of Iowa tornadoes for more specifics, but what's on the table as I type this are a large table cited to a user-generated source (or one that can't be provednot to be UGC, anyway), a significant lack of comprehension listing of data thatdoes exist in reliable sources and can be put together in an afternoon, arbitrary inclusion candidates, and general weird formatting throughout, especially in image placement and citations in the lede, the sort I wouldn't expect from featured content.Departure– (talk)23:31, 29 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
To clarify a few points:
By "arbitrary", I mean the line in the sand being "intense tornadoes" being the only ones included and all others being completely discarded.No reason for this is given in the article itself.
Typically, lists that include large amounts of tornadoes draw the line at "intense tornadoes" (F3/equivalent), such asTornadoes in Oklahoma, but again, no reason given. The only actual line I could think of a justification for would be "significant tornadoes" (F2/equivalent), as those are what expert of tornado record-keepingThomas P. Grazulis uses in hisSignificant tornadoes line of books.
In addition, this list is missing numerous tornadoes within the "intense" range.
Details about my UGC concern are further detailed atTalk:List of Iowa tornadoes#Tornado Paths source, but the short version is that a source cited in a table is listed as published byArcGIS with no credits. ArcGIS is a software at the end of the day, and while it likely was produced by a reliable source (NWS or NOAA), there's no evidence beyond anecdotal comments about the scale of the source.
In addition, the source is almost certainly a tertiary source to be avoided in favor of a more focused source.
There is some weird formatting right outside the lede. The lede itself also doesn't followMOS:LEDE, with information in the opening not present in the body (though, with a citation).
Sourcing in general has been brought up on the talk page as being far from featured-level. One was revealed to likely be a blog.
Delist per my talk page comments. As much as I hate to delist an article as recent as this, it simply isn’t up to par.EF501:56, 30 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Update - I have been adding tornadoes over the past week from theThomas P. Grazulis source, I am still working on completing the list. I changed the intense tornadoes meaning and put it as F3+ rated tornadoes. I removed both non reliable sources that were mentioned and replaced them with reliable ones. I do still have some work to do with adding tornadoes in the tables, but it is in the right direction.ActuallyElite (talk)17:38, 8 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't care much for some of the comments I've read surrounding this list. "How in God's name...?" Save it. I was one of the reviewers on this FLC and spent a lot of time assistingUser:ActuallyElite with the style and prose, because the original text was pretty rough. I believe the quality was greatly improved. I did not do a source check. Anyone is welcome to challenge the accuracy or appropriateness of sources. Maybe dialing back the histrionics and offering reasonable suggestions for improving the article would be a positive step?Bgsu98(Talk)14:28, 10 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I am nominating this for featured list removal because there's several typhoons that are left unsourced, especially the 2020s typhoons. According toWikipedia:Featured list criteria, it seems like it fails at Number 3, part b; "Statements are sourced where they appear, and they provide inline citations if they contain any of the four kinds of material absolutely required to have citations." Unless the issue gets fixed, these unsourced claims are seriously hurting the FA status of this article.Hoguert (talk)00:19, 26 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Update: I have done a lot of weeding on theList of retired Philippine typhoon names and this list today and am pleased to report that the death/damage totals from the 2020s are all sourced/referenced, while all retired names and intensity information is sourced. On the overall list in particular, the damage totals will need further work to incorporate death/damage totals from outside of the Philippines, but that's a job for another night.Jason Rees (talk)02:14, 28 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Update - Over the last week or so, I have done more and more weeding on the Philippine list and now have all the Philippine death/damage totals from Reming (Durian) in 2006 sourced back to the NCDC. Some of these death/damage totals have already been incorporated into the overall article, while I plan on getting them into the main overall article over the next few days.Jason Rees (talk)10:26, 3 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
"The nameAmuyao was meant to replaceMalakas, but because PAGASA selected the name to replaceAghon, which was stricken off the naming list of 2024 as a local name, the name was then replaced byAmuyag." Still unsourced. Roy, Mireille, Rananim, Xangsane, Durian are unsourced. There are typhoons in the 1990s, 2000s, and Linfa in 2020 that don't have damage/death toll estimatesHoguert (talk)11:00, 11 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Hoguert: Patience is a virtue since as a part of the FLC, I am trying to ensure that all death/damage totals presented are sourced, accurate and do not include economic losses.Jason Rees (talk)11:29, 11 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Update: I currently feel like I have brought the majority of the death/damage totals to a point where they are sourced, verifiable and more or less correct. Over the next few days, I will be going over the naming history to ensure it is correct.Jason Rees (talk)12:13, 21 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, I was about to pull back from my FLC until I realize there's some duplication source issues with the article, specific sources 4, 78 and 59, 60GrenadinesDes (talk)02:23, 17 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Easternsahara @Jason Rees There's still some areas of unsourced, including "At the 46th session of the Typhoon Committee, it was noted the nameVicente appears on both the tropical cyclone name lists for the Western North Pacific and Eastern North Pacific. In response to this duplication the nameLan was chosen as replacement forVicente on the Western North Pacific name list to avoid potential confusion." paragraph and Roy's section in pre 2000s. Once those are addressed ill withdrawGrenadinesDes (talk)05:16, 28 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Over the last few weeks, when time has allowed, I have been doing some research through various newspaper archives to try and tell the story of typhoon naming over the WPAC better. As a result, it has emerged that the names Hazen and Pamela were also retired, but it seems to have been lost to history.Jason Rees (talk)13:41, 14 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Approved
Fixed: it's been expanded.
Done.
Comment: I ended up removing this image after I merged the 'economy and employment' section into the lead.
Partly done: I've made it an alphabetical list. The BBC and CNN's names aren't italicised because the titles of the articles for them do not use italics.
Added: I also found something to add for Saturday, March 25.
Completed: Citations replaced with sources byThe Guardian and NPR.
Question: there was this one citation whose title used all caps, I changed it to use title case as it was so distracting. Do you mean I should change the sources' titles to all use sentence case or to all use title case, though?
In progress: this is what I'll be fixing next.
