Nominating featured lists in Wikipedia

This star, with one point broken, symbolizes the featured candidates on Wikipedia.

Welcome to featured list candidates! Here, we determine which lists are of a good enough quality to be featured lists (FLs). Featured lists exemplify Wikipedia's very best work and must satisfy the featured list criteria.

Before nominating a list, nominators may wish to receive feedback by listing it at peer 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 not significant 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 nominations only 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 and Hey 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 be promoted 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 and archived 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. A bot 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.

The 1997 Atlantic hurricane season produced Hurricane Danny, the wettest tropical cyclone in Alabama's history. The season began at a breakneck pace, clocking six tropical or subtropical cyclones—including the then-earliest fifth storm on record—in just the first two months, when things usually are only slowly heating up. Then it came to an abrupt halt, with no systems for the entirety of August, one of the basin's peak months. September, the climatologically busiest month of the season, only spawned one system—though a powerful one. A pair of weak storms in October capped off a very strange, quiet year for Atlantic hurricane activity.

I did the bulk of the work on this timeline last winter, and have been giving it another couple run-throughs to ensure its readiness for the bronze star. A previous iteration of this timeline was deleted in 2011. I recall the timeline as it stood then, and it bears almost no resemblance to the version being nominated today.

[edit]
  • "Since then, Liechtenstein has participated in every Olympics edition except the 1952 Winter Olympics, and the 1956 and 1980 Summer Olympics." => "Since then, Liechtenstein has participated in every Olympics edition except the 1952 Winter Olympics and the 1956 and 1980 Summer Olympics."
  • "besides the 1952 Winter Olympics due to financial constraints,[2] and the 1956 Summer Olympics" => "except for the 1952 Winter Olympics due to financial constraints[2] and the 1956 Summer Olympics"
  • "Wenzell earned two gold medals" - name should only have one L
  • "He would win a bronze medal in the same event" => "He won a bronze medal in the same event"
  • "As of 11 August 2024" - showing the date looks a bit odd and at first I thought "why has that random date been selected?" until I realised. It would be easier to just say "As of the conclusion of the 2024 Summer Olympics"
  • "The delegation is also the least populated nation to be represented to have won an Olympic gold medal" => "Liechtenstein is also the least populated nation to have won an Olympic gold medal" ("to be represented" is redundant as obviously a nation that hasn't been represented can't have won any medals)
  • In the first table, why do all the athlete names have a sort key of "Tan"?
  • In the second table, "Boy's monobob" should be "Boys' monobob"
  • That's what I got! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:04, 2 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hey y'all, mammal list #69 in our perpetual series and rodent list #14: Sminthidae. We continue through the Myomorpha suborder, aka "things shaped like mice", with the birch mice. There's 16 species of these little guys, jumping and climbing on things in Eurasia, and their little grippy paws are part of why they're in a different family from other mice. As always, the list reflects the scientific consensus as well as the results of prior FLCs. Thanks for reviewing! --PresN 23:39, 1 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

That mouse is too cute! 🄰 I’ll come back to review this tomorrow. Bgsu98 (Talk) 00:20, 2 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I like computing and I'm thinking of focusing more on content work, hopefully, this year, though I mostly worked on this article in late 2024 to trim all the releases' entries' fat after reading a discussion on bloat in version history lists. I'm mostly nominating this because I want to improve my content work. (I did try peer review, but I'm here now because the peer review didn't receive any interest after half a month of asking around. Hopefully that's fine.)

Also, I'd appreciate feedback on whether the summaries of Linux kernel updates should be removed since it's not really Ubuntu's development work. Aaron Liu (talk) 13:58, 28 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Source review (Newslinger)

[edit]

Hi Aaron Liu, thank you for working on this article. The free and open-source software topic area has many sources that are highly regarded by the FOSS community, yet either don't meet Wikipedia's sourcing requirements or are group blogs of borderline reliability. However, since Ubuntu is a high-profile subject, I think it should be possible to find strong or acceptable sources for all of the information in this article, which may require using non-English reliable sources for some specific claims. From a scan of the cited sources, I believe the following needs to be carefully evaluated and possibly replaced:

  1. Ubuntu Wiki: The HelpOnEditing page states: "To edit the Ubuntu Wiki, join the Ubuntu Wiki Editors team on Launchpad." The Launchpad page states that the team is composed of "1529 active members" and "27 proposed members", which gives me the impression that this wiki should be considered user-generated content.
  2. WebTrickz: Self-published blog by Mayur Agarwal, who does not appear to be a subject-matter expert as defined in WP:SPS
  3. MoPedia: Self-published blog by Mohammed (no last name provided), who does not appear to be a subject-matter expert as defined in WP:SPS
  4. Phoronix: Self-published blog by Michael Larabel, whom I personally consider a subject-matter expert, but who does not meet the requirements defined in WP:SPS; see the WP:RSN discussions from December 2019 and September 2024 that I participated in, as well as your May 2024 comment
  5. OMG Ubuntu: Self-published blog by Joey Sneddon, who I believe is knowledgeable about the topic area but does not appear to meet the requirements defined in WP:SPS
  6. Tech Source (junauza.com): Self-published blog by Jun Auza which currently claims to be a group blog, but published a 2019 post implying sole authorship and does not include bylines in articles
  7. Web Upd8: Self-published blog by Andrew (Alin Andrei), who does not appear to be a subject-matter expert as defined in WP:SPS
  8. Desktop Linux Reviews: Self-published blog by Jim Lynch, who might be considered a subject-matter expert per WP:SPS because he has written reviews for other technology news publications, but for a featured list, I would cite a review that is not self-published
  9. DistroWatch Weekly: Newsletter from DistroWatch that has unclear level of editorial oversight and is likely to be self-published
  10. Hectic Geek: Self-published blog by Gayan (no last name provided), who does not appear to be a subject-matter expert as defined in WP:SPS
  11. Dedoimedo: Self-published blog by Igor Ljubuncic, who might be considered a subject-matter expert per WP:SPS because he has authored a couple of reputably published technical books, but for a featured list, I would cite a review that is not self-published
  12. It's FOSS: Self-published blog by Abhishek Prakash, who I believe is knowledgeable about the topic area but does not appear to meet the requirements defined in WP:SPS
  13. FOSS Bytes: Self-published group blog with questionable Editorial Policy ("please contact us at [Insert Contact Email]")
  14. ZDNet: This particular article is dated April 2022, which is when ZDNet (RSP entry) had been owned by LLM-authored content publisher Red Ventures (RSP entry). I don't think this article is problematic, but for a featured list, I would cite a review from a different source.
  15. 9to5Linux: Self-published blog by Marcus Nestor, who I believe is knowledgeable about the topic area but does not appear to meet the requirements defined in WP:SPS

On a more general level, the article relies heavily on primary sources to the extent that it might not satisfy WP:PSTS: "Wikipedia articles should be based on reliable, published secondary sources, and to a lesser extent, on tertiary sources and primary sources." For basic information such as release dates, it should be fairly straightforward to find reliable secondary sources that cover Ubuntu releases. Technical details might be harder to independently source, but when there are no independent sources covering an aspect of an Ubuntu release, I would reconsider whether it constitutes due weight. Also, I just noticed Wikipedia:WikiProject Software/Free and open-source software task force/List of reliable sources exists, but it has not been edited since it was created in 2022; this list is probably worth maintaining.

Thanks again for spending a great deal of time improving this article and keeping it up to date. I only check the WP:FOSS article alerts infrequently, so I wasn't aware of the peer review, but I would not have left it unanswered if I had noticed it. — Newslinger talk 14:56, 1 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Another figure skating national championship list since Germany was just promoted. This may be the most recent list that I have finished. Figure skating was a big deal in the Soviet Union, and their national championships were definitely covered in their media, so there was no lack of sourcing. I don't speak Russian; and unlike the Hungarian, Romanian, or Polish that I'd managed to muddle through, the Cyrillic alphabet of the Russian language had me at a total loss, so this article may have been the most challenging for me to finish. Russian Figure Skating Championships is also ready to go, but I think this one is more interesting because of the historical aspects. As always, I look forward to any constructive feedback or suggestions, and thank you! Bgsu98 (Talk) 16:00, 29 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]
  • I may be wrong, but I don't think "Russia and the other twelve Soviet republics emerged as independent nations" is quite right. There were 15 republics for most of the USSR's existence. The three Baltic republics broke away early, so when the USSR finally collapsed, there were 12 left. That means it should be "Russia and the other eleven".....
  • I changed it to eleven. Since it specifies December 1991 as the date of the USSR's collapse, and the Baltic states had already split, it seems most logical to go with Russia+11 and not Russia+14. Agree?
  • I think in the two image captions the semi colons should be commas

Are the years correct? The ref for 1992 pairs is a newspaper/magazine where the caption under the image translates to "The national champions of 1991 were a couple from St. Petersburg, Elena BECHKE and Denis PETROV.". I checked because it seemed a bit odd to have a 1992 Soviet champion when USSR itself didn't exist after 26 December 1991 -MPGuy2824 (talk) 06:01, 31 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
MPGuy2824: A skating season runs from fall to spring. Thus, a competition held in December 1991 is considered part of the 1992 season. The same thing happened with Czechoslovakia; their national championships took place mere weeks before the country ceased to exist. šŸ˜‚ Bgsu98 (Talk) 08:02, 31 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, understood. One last point: The sentence beginning "The figure skating competitions at the 1958 Spartakiad of the RSFSR (Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic) " is a bit repetitive. You can keep the first part and then say something along the lines of "This happened in 1974 and 1978 as well". -MPGuy2824 (talk)

Comments

[edit]
  • "what we now call modern architecture." - not mad on this. Maybe "what is now referred to as modern architecture."
  • "in which he designed buildings in Europe, Japan, India, as well as North and South America" => "in which he designed buildings in Europe, Japan and India, as well as North and South America"
  • "La Roche-Jeanneret house, is a pair" - no reason for that comma
  • "Villa "Le Lac" Le Corbusier, is a residential building" - same here
  • "and his cousin, Pierre Jeanneret between 1923 and 1924" => "and his cousin, Pierre Jeanneret, between 1923 and 1924"
  • "Maison Guiette also known as Les Peupliers, is a" => "Maison Guiette, also known as Les Peupliers, is a"
  • "designed starting from 1928" => "designed from 1928 onwards"
  • "It consists of three storeys" - earlier you spelt it "stories". The article seems to be written in American English based on the use of "-ize" verbs and "center", so spell it consistently however the Americans spell it
  • That's what I got! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:34, 29 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@ChrisTheDude: Thanks for the quick review. France has the highest number of entries in the list, but there is no "French English" (I'm sure the French would scoff at that concept). Given that there was only one instance of an -ize, standardising the whole article to British English seemed easier. I've done this and the fixed the other points that you had. Please would you do another pass on the prose looking only for any instances of American English? -MPGuy2824 (talk) 09:17, 29 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Lead
  • Is The Architectural Work of Le Corbusier, an Outstanding Contribution to the Modern Movement is official name of the site?
  • You might consider explaining what makes Modernist architecture unique.
    Added, but I'm open to shifting its location within the lead section. -MPGuy2824 (talk)
  • You might think about shuffling up the lead a little bit. As it reads now, you start off talking about LeCorbusier, then you talk about modernism, then you go back to LeCorbusier, and then you go back to modernism. I don't have a definitive suggestion, though. You could consider consolidating the two paragraphs into one and shuffling around the order of the sentences, or keep two paragraphs, but have one focus more on the architect and the other on the architecture, even though I get that they are intertwined. I would be interested in seeing what others think of this. Bgsu98 (Talk) 23:37, 30 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Sites
  • I recommend listing the locations as CITY, COUNTRY as opposed to COUNTRY (CITY). I would also then not repeat the country in the description. For example, you use "Antwerp" for one site, but "Bordeaux, France" for another. You also don't need to wikilink cities twice in the same row.
    Fixed. I've also removed the links from major capitals like Paris and Tokyo. -MPGuy2824 (talk)
  • Is "masterplan" one word or two? āœ“
  • "The listing comprises two buildings of the Weissenhof Estate..." --> Recommend slightly rephrasing with "This listing..." āœ“
  • What is a "gatelodge", and is it one word or two?
  • "Immeuble ClartĆ© is an apartment building in Geneva designed starting from 1928 and built in 1931–32." I had to read this a few times to figure out what you are trying to say. I have boldfaced the part that reads awkwardly. āœ“
  • "The building has different types of apartment..." --> "apartment" should be pluralized. āœ“
  • "The three-storeyed structure" --> Is it "three-storeyed structure" or "three-storey structure"? Genuinely asking as I'm not sure.
    • I felt both were correct, but 2 of the 3 grammar checkers that I just tried had a problem with "storeyed". I've now used "x-storey" everywhere. -MPGuy2824 (talk)

  • should the "id" in "UNESCO id" be capitalized?
  • is the Hiroshi Watanabe in the article, one of those on the disambiguation?
    • Among the ones in that disambiguation page, only the photographer seemed likely, but the photographer's official site does not list this book. -MPGuy2824 (talk)
  • The location map for the world looks pretty silly, can you make it "excluding those in europe" and remove the ones for france?
    • I've excluded only the French sites from world map as not all the European sites show up in the France-centered map. -MPGuy2824 (talk)
  • a link to List of World Heritage Sites in France should be worked in, in the prose or in the see also section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by EasternShah (talk • contribs) 16:46, 29 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    • I've added this in the see-also section for now, but if someone can think of an organic way to work it into the lead without interrupting the flow, I'm ok with that too. -MPGuy2824 (talk)

  • I would also link World Heritage Committee
  • I think you did not include a picture for the first site because it is technically multiple. in world heritage sites lists, for sites that comprise multiple sub-sites, we still have images. So, I would still include one, the one on the infobox of Villa La Roche looks good.

  • The sortability of the location column doesn't work (should be keyed to sort by country first).
  • The interactive map in the infobox is just a single pin for Villa Le Lac, should be fixed to have all of them. Perhaps add the template that creates a map of all coordinates on the page.
    • This has been bugging me too. The infobox adds the map by default, taking the single set of coordinates that is mentioned for this page in Wikidata. I asked if it is ok to add a param to the template to hide the default map. There are already two maps for all the sites at the end of the list though, which is why once the template changes go through, I think it is better to hide the map and will replace it with Corbusier's photo. -MPGuy2824 (talk)
  • The first sentence is redundant – there's no need to give both a short name and full name that duplicates the main title (and we already know the short name from the article title).
    • I've moved the full, official name to an extended foot note. -MPGuy2824 (talk)
  • Why not say seven countries instead of "several" in the first sentence? āœ“
  • "His career spanned five decades, in which he designed buildings all over the world" would read better as "He designed buildings all over the world over a five decade-long career" or similar. Not sure that's really an important fact to include anyway, most peoples' careers last four or five decades, so I suggest rewriting. āœ“
  • "acquired French nationality by naturalisation" is redundant, an acquisition of nationality is by definition naturalisation āœ“
  • Was there any relevant news coverage about the WHS inscription in 2016? Or anything since? As an FL this should be an article about the World Heritage Site as whole, not merely a list of sites that are part of it – it lacks any further description, discussion, or reception. The UNESCO page has a lengthy description that inludes things like protection of sites and why these ones were selected for the set, so that can be a start.

Drive-by comments

[edit]
  • UNESCO criteria in the infobox should be listed as i, ii, vi rather than (i)(ii)(vi) for consistency with other articles (all/most WHS FLs, examples at Template:Infobox World Heritage Site, etc.)
  • Consider adding the plainrowheaders parameter to the table. A lot of WHS FLs do this though it's just a matter of preference.

I would've left a full prose review if I noticed the nomination earlier though there's enough now and I don't see any major issues that haven't been pointed out. Good job! Shwabb1 ⟨taco⟩ 08:51, 2 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I've had this on the bench for a bit, I feel its pretty good. This is a renomination, the first nomination was a mistake as I nominated two lists before getting two supports on one. Also to deal with the backlog, I pledge that for every review on this nomination; I will review two others (or at the very least support) with preference for older ones, if you wish for me to look at a specific list I will do so.

I'll have a look at the sources. I've never done a source review before so if you disagree on something then let me know.

  • I'd recommend archiving all sources (by my count 61/84 sources are archived), but I don't see it as a requirement in WP:FLCR so it won't stop me from supporting it if the other concerns are addressed.
  • Ref 3 doesn't have a publication date
  • Checks of sources
    • Checked all references in lead section, all good there
    • Spot-checked references in the tables (Refs 24, 29, 33, 39, 45, 50, 56, 61, 67, 75, 78, 83), all good
    • Checked all four references for ratings graph, found nothing
    • Just a note that Season 3 Episode 6 has a different rating on each source (Refs 53 and 59), 0.602 on one and 0.62 on the other. Probably a minor typo from one of the sources and I'm happy enough just thought it was worth noting

Hey y'all, mammal list #68 in our perpetual series and rodent list #13: Dipodidae. This is our first list in the Myomorpha suborder, aka "things shaped like mice", which includes about 80% of all rodents and over 1800 species, far more than any non-rodent order. This is our final suborder, but we're going to be in here for 11 lists, so strap in. The dipodids are the jerboas, and have giant feet and legs for jumping around- they're kangaroo rats with big ears, basically, except for the pygmy dipodids which are fluffballs with big fat tails. There's 33 species of these guys, mostly bouncing around African and Eurasian deserts and shrublands. As always, the list reflects the scientific consensus as well as the results of prior FLCs. Thanks for reviewing! --PresN 22:51, 25 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Here's my second nomination of a Hot 100 number ones list. I decided to randomly jump forward a few years because I knew this would be an interesting year to write about. Around Thanksgiving of 1963, not many people in America had heard of the Beatles. Just over a year later, they'd had six number ones and the whole country had lost its mind over them (and to a lesser extent British pop music in general).

Lead
  • I Want to Hold Your Hand is wikilinked twice in the second paragraph.
  • "Vinton and the Supremes were the only other acts with more than one number one in 1964." --> That's going to need a source.
    • It's self-evident from the table so I don't believe it needs a specific source
      • That is true.
  • " The Beatles' total of 18 weeks in the top spot during 1964 was more than twice that achieved by any other act." --> There is something a little awkward about the comparative in this sentence ("twice that achieved") that I can't quite put my finger on. Let me think about this one...
  • "Prior to 1964, there had only been two Hot 100 number ones by British acts." Since you bring it up, you might mention who these two acts are.
  • Doubly wikilinked are the Animals, the Supremes, and the Shangri-Las.

[edit]
Lead
  • "Vice-Presidential nominee Minnesota Governor Tim Walz" --> I'm not sure about the formatting here?
Gave it a tweak
2003
  • I would expand the wikilink to encompass District Attorney of San Francisco. Done
  • "Harris finished second to Hallinan, but did received more votes than Bill Fazio" Done
  • "...while he noted that Harris exceeded the voluntary spending cap she had promised to stay under" --> this reads a little awkwardly, but I'm not sure how I would fix it?
Took a stab
  • "Nonpartisan" is repeatedly wikilinked on these tables. I'm also not sure you need the Party column since there's no party. Done
2010
  • The wiki article for Attorney General of California shows it as lower-case (despite the title being capitalized). Done
  • Again, repeated wikilinking of "Democratic" and really no need for the column since it's the Democratic primary and all of the candidates were Democrats.
  • Recommend wikilinking "pension" since that's not a very common term. Done
  • I believe "Election Day" is a proper noun. Done
  • "She became the first woman to serve in the role, a feat she would later repeat with her election to the vice presidency." --> I would slightly rephrase the first half of that sentence and then remove the second half, since that had nothing to do with the Attorney General election. Done
2014
  • "where the top two candidates advanced to the general election for most non-presidential elections, including Attorney General" --> The conditional is not required as this is not hypothetical. Done
Primary
  • "announced she would not seek a fifth term in the Senate" --> The progressive tense is not called for. Done
  • "Harris announced she planned to run to replace her" --> Recommend something along the lines of "she planned to run for her Senate seat" Done
  • "In the primary election, Harris, who received just over 3 million votes, and Representative Loretta Sanchez of California's 46th congressional district (1.4 million votes) advanced to the general election." --> The structure of this sentence is not quite balanced. Perhaps something like "Harris, who received just over 3 million votes, and Representative Loretta Sanchez of California's 46th congressional district, who received 1.4 million votes, advanced to the general election." Done
General election
  • "The election was not particularly competitive, with Politico's Will Kane characterized the race as one of the "least-exciting races in California history" --> either "with Politico's Will Kane characterizing" or "; Politico's Will Kane characterized" Done
  • "calling a poor implementation of the jungle primary system due to Sanchez and Harris holding similar positions" --> This needs rewritten. Also, what is a jungle primary system?
Done, jungle primary is just another term for open primary, I just wanted to mix up the nouns
  • Election Day is a proper noun. Done
  • That map caption doesn't need a period. Done
General election
  • Again, Election Day Done
Nomination
  • "Biden announced that both he and Harris would seek a second term" --> The progressive tense is not called for.
  • "In her book, 107 Days, Harris revealed she heavily considered Buttigieg. However, she opted against him due to his sexuality." --> Personally, I would join those two sentences together with a semicolon. Done
General election
  • Again, Election Day Done
  • You might consider wikilinking "swing states". Done

  • "She was reelected" - can I confirm that it's normal to write "reelected" without a hyphen in US English? It looks really weird to me, as here in the UK we write it with a hyphen, but maybe it's standard in the US.....?
    • It's usually not hyphenated, though both are used
  • "and Ohio Senator JD Vance." - earlier, "senator" was written with a lower case S
  • "the two-term incumbent District Attorney of San Fransico of San Francisco" - stray extra words Done
  • "she stated she would give herself a spending cap" => "she stated that she would give herself a spending cap" Done
  • "400 thousand dollars of taxpayer money" - wht not just $400,000? Done
  • "claimed he won the election" => "claimed he had won the election" Done
  • " A total of 29 major candidates entered the primaries; the largest field of presidential candidates for any American political party since 1972" - semi-colon should be a comma Done
  • "faced the Republican ticket of Trump and Ohio Senator JD Vance." - same comment as earlier

This article's first (2025) featured list nomination failed due to a lack of support, despite having most of the issues addressed. Now, with additional fine-tuning done on the article, I believe this page satisfies the requirements of a featured list. Also, granting this page FL standing would help the 2014 Atlantic hurricane season overall to become recognized as a good topic. Currently, there are six storm articles, of which four are good articles and two are featured articles. Also, the season article itself is a good article.

checkY Sentence clause removed. Drdpw (talk) 16:35, 22 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

checkY Mention of knots removed. Drdpw (talk) 16:35, 22 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Tropical Storm Arthur transitions into an extratropical cyclone about 25 mi (40 km) northwest of Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, and subsequently dissipates" - five days later. Are you not mentioning extratropical dissipation dates in the article?
checkY Mention of dissipation enhanced for all systems. Drdpw (talk) 16:35, 22 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Shouldn't the dissipation dates be their own date, since it is a timeline? ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:18, 22 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
No, these timelines do not have separate event entries for extratropical cyclone dissipations, landfalls, or strengthening/weakening.
Is there a reason that Arthur's dissipation date isn't listed under July 9th, instead of July 5th? ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 20:55, 22 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Because it became an extratropical cyclone on July 5. Drdpw (talk) 21:56, 22 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, so why isn’t there an entry for July 9? The Hanna remnant low/trough shows that there’s some level of detail on the list for not just tropical cyclones. Hurricanehink mobile (talk) 00:02, 23 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Trimmed entries for Hanna remnant "zombie" phase, based on treatment of such systems in other TL articles. Drdpw (talk) 01:21, 23 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure that's an improvement, not when we now have this phrase - "The remnants of the tropical depression regenerate into a tropical depression". I wasn't opposed to mentioning the low opening up into a trough, I'm just wondering why there isn't also an entry for Arthur's dissipation date, ditto Bertha's dissipation date, and any of the extratropical storms. The lead even says "This timeline documents tropical cyclone formations, strengthening, weakening, landfalls, extratropical transitions, and dissipations during the season." But the dissipations seems more of an afterthought if they occurred after a storm became extratropical? ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 02:52, 23 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
"Dissipations" in that sentence refers to tropical cyclone dissipations. I can see how mentioning the dissipation of a system after it becomes extratropical this way can seem like an afterthought. Some FL timelines do not mention them at all. Those where they are mentioned, however, do so in this fashion.
I think extratropical dissipation should also get its own entry, both here and in other timelines. I recognize other timelines might not do that, but I'm reviewing this article. I guess my question is, is there any reason not to do it other than consistency with other timelines? ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 03:45, 23 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  • In the publisher fields, NOAA sub-agencies are handled inconsistently. Some instances are prefixed with 'NOAA' (eg. NOAA Climate Prediction Center in ref 1) while others are not (eg. National Hurricane Center in ref 4). This should be remedied so all sub-agencies are referred to in one way or the other.
checkY NOAA removed from citations Drdpw (talk) 18:56, 2 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
  • Some publishers are wikilinked, while others are not. This should be consistent across all refs—either all linked, all unlinked, or the first use linked.
checkY Publishers now linked at first mention only Drdpw (talk) 18:56, 2 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

This ran into some issues last time at FLC, mainly due to edit warring on the page that then ceased. However, we ran out of time and the nomination kind of fizzled into nothing. I don't think there's much to do and I'm hoping this can run fairly smoothly; we just need the momentum to get comments. This would also complete a FT of British monarchs so it would be quite the achievement! Many thanks in advance, JacobTheRox(talk | contributions) 21:03, 16 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

No one seems to be commenting – pinging @Dajasj, @PresN, @Bgsu98, @DrKay, @UpTheOctave! who helped last time. Any comments or just a support if you think no more is needed after the last FLC would be hugely appreciated JacobTheRox(talk | contributions) 19:35, 27 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Comments by Dajasj

[edit]
  • Why are the values of the House in bold?
    • Erm good question. MOS:BOLD says it can be used in table headers, and the house names are somewhat headers. They used to be rows but that is not accessible, but they are still headers which group the monarchs together even if they are in a column. Let me know your thoughts but if you think they shouldn't be bold I'll remove it.
  • Would it be possible to use {{sfn}} in the Ref column, so the column wouldn't be so wide?
    • Done for ref and house columns
  • I think the portrait should also be smaller. It's somewhat annoying that it's too wide, even for my wide screen.
    • Done
  • The Acts of Union 1707 link is a bit of an easter egg if you ask me.
    • You may need to be a bit more specific as to what you want me to remove; it has already been trimmed quite a bit so I'm slightly wary of removing more.
  • I think the last sentence of the first paragraph is too long, and might be suitable for splitting.
    • Done

That's it for me! Dajasj (talk) 19:50, 27 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your comments
  • Hmm, they are no longer headers (which would have made them bold automatically), so I see no reason. It highlights a column, while it is not necessary.
  • This was already done by DrKay and I am not planning on reverting it.
  • I have reworded it to "There have been 13 British monarchs since the political union of the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of Scotland, which occurred on 1 May 1707 upon the commencement of the Acts of Union."
Fix these two things, and you'll have my support :) Dajasj (talk) 18:44, 31 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

@JacobTheRox: My only involvement in your previous nomination dealt with the layout of the table. I'll examine the table now, and the prose later.

  • It seems odd to have only sortable column (House). I would just set the entire table to unsortable.
    • Fixed
  • You might consider shrinking the sizes of the portraits and coats of arms in order to help narrow the width of the table. A reader can always click on the image for a more detailed view.
    • Standardised at 150px for table portraits and 75px for coats of arms
  • In the Ref. column, I would put a space after each comma. That would also help narrow the width of the table.
    • Columns have been thinned anyway due to replacing rp with sfn.

I finished this list over the summer at roughly the same time I finished the Norway list that was just promoted. I enjoyed researching this list, because I speak both German and French, and while most of the sources I found were in German, many were in French. None of the sources are behind a paywall, so anyone doing a source review should be able to access them. I have personally verified all of the results, the source citations should be formatted properly, as should the tables. Please let me know if you have any feedback or suggestions, and thank you so much! Bgsu98 (Talk) 16:19, 16 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Mmberney

[edit]

As with the points above, there is very little to critique — it's a well‑constructed article, and the comments below are genuinely minor:

  • Introduction — the phrase "medals are awarded … at the senior, junior, and novice levels" may benefit from clarification on age limits for the senior and junior categories, particularly for readers unfamiliar with the topic. The novice level isn't mentioned again in the article — are there no available records for it?
  • The novice level is for kids. The decision was made several years ago to not bog down skating articles with details about novice-level events. This prose was left over from the original formatting before I undertook the renovation of all of these articles. I have removed mention of the novice-level, but now I'm going to have to go back and fix all of the articles in this series. šŸ˜‚
  • Introduction — shouldn't the Johner pair be mentioned before the Dubois pair, given that the former have standalone articles?
  • They're in alphabetical order; I've never heard of wikilinked names preceding nonwikilinked names.
  • Senior medalists image — swap the names of Oxana Vouillamoz and Tom Bouvart so they match their positions left and right. I'd keep Gina Zehnder and Beda Leon Sieber as they are; although his head is on the left, his legs are on the right in that pose.
  • It took me a minute to figure out what you meant. The standard with paired teams is to list the woman's name first, but I went ahead switched them here because they are so clearly spaced apart with Bouvart on the left.
  • Forgive my ignorance here, do the tables in these types of articles not need to be sortable?
  • The template that we use for the paired teams does not allow for sorting by last name, and the user who designed the template could not figure out how build a sort capability (by the woman's last name) into it. Since we can't sort the pairs and dance tables, I went ahead and rendered the men's and women's tables as well.
  • MOS:DATERANGE notes that non‑abbreviated years are generally preferred, so I would expand the dates mentioned in the Note under 'Records'. However, given the need for conciseness in the tables, I'd leave those as they are. That's all I can come up with!
  • It's my understanding that abbreviated ranges are acceptable on tables, but you are correct that they would need to be printed in full in prose.

The article looks to be in good shape. I’ll be doing a prose review later tonight, but ping me if I have not added any by Friday. Crystal Drawers šŸŒ (wanna talk?) 23:22, 28 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  • "Competitions were held" — The previous sentence uses similar phrasing, could this instance be changed to something else?
  •  Done Slightly modified.
  • "The Swiss Championships have been cancelled only once since 1931: in 2021, owing to the COVID-19 pandemic" — I’d move "since 1931" to the beginning so the two years aren’t right next to each other
  •  Done That's a good suggestion!
  • "although not every discipline is held every year due to a lack of participants" — A bit oddly worded, consider something along the lines of "although some disciplines may be excluded when the minimum number of participants is not met."
  • It has nothing to do with a minimum number of participants. "Lack of participants" means zero. As you can see from the tables, they will hold an event even with only one entrant.

@Bgsu98: Overall, not a lot of work needed, it seems to be close to FL quality

Lead
  • "Not until 2019 would another Christmas song top the Hot 100,[3] albeit for much of the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s holiday-themed songs were excluded from the chart." --> I would use "although" instead of "albeit".
  • "The Fleetwoods and Frankie Avalon were the only acts to have two number ones in 1959, but neither act topped the Hot 100 again." since it is not a hypothetical
  • "The latter song won the awards for Best Country & Western Recording and Song of the Year at the same Grammy Awards ceremony (the latter presented to its writer, Jimmy Driftwood)" --> recommend somehow slightly rephrasing this as you have two uses of "latter", the latter of which should be avoided. ;)
  • "but it would similarly prove to be the only pop number one for Horton, who died in a car accident in 1960." --> recommend also rephrasing the beginning of this to remove the "would", since it is not a hypothetical. Perhaps something like, "it was Horton's only pop number one, because he died..."

Accessiblity review

  • The row-scope cells need to start with a "!". Also if they span multiple rows then the scope needs to be rowgroup. So | scope="row" bgcolor=#EDEAE0 align=center rowspan=2|8 becomes ! scope="rowgroup" style="background:#EDEAE0; text-align:center;" rowspan=2|8
  • The text at the beginning of the chart history - maybe you could incorporate that as a footnote
  • For the "Number-one artists" table, I would suggest eliminating the position column and making it look like the tables in 76th Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards#Nominations and wins by network. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 08:29, 18 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@MPGuy2824: - done. I am still hopeless with scopes -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:34, 18 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Chris, since this is the first of a (long) series, it will be used as a template for the rest; so I consider it an apt time to nitpick. The "re" cells are a bit bothersome to me: Sorting on the column doesn't work like I expect and they may not always be unique within their column.
  • I think you should switch the header cell of every row to the date column like in the Adult Contemporary FLs.
  • For the "re" cells in the "No." column, I'd suggest that you change the sorting value to 20.5 (in this case) so that all weeks when that song placed at #1 will sort together.
  • Also, you can replace the "re" with "(20)" like I've seen in a few head of government lists (e.g. Austria). I don't have strong feelings about this suggestion though, so I'll leave it up to you. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 11:55, 18 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Accessibility notes, no action needed:

  • When you're using a table to organize things not as a row-column data table but just as a layout thing to save space, like in Squads, according to WP:LTAB you should add |role="none" to the table (so, {| class="wikitable" style="text-align:left; margin:auto" role="none") so that screen-reader software won't treat it as a data table. (Done for you)
  • I got lost for a bit in the module code, but when you're using Sports table, as you do at {{2023 Men's T20 World Cup Africa Qualifier Regional Final}}, you have to set the "title" attribute to add a caption (now done for you)
  • The way {{Single-innings cricket match}} uses subtables for positioning is extremely suspect, but I've adjusted it to be an LTAB as well rather than rewrite the whole thing.

Accessibility review (MOS:DTAB)

[edit]
  • 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.
  • 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. ! Year becomes !scope=col | Year. If the cell spans multiple columns with a colspan, then use !scope=colgroup instead.
  • Tables need row scopes on the "primary" column for each row, which in combination with column scopes lets screen reader software accurately determine and read out the headers for each cell of a data table. Row scopes can be added by adding !scope=row to each primary cell, e.g. | 1987 becomes !scope=row | 1987 (on its own line). If the cell spans multiple rows with a rowspan, then use !scope=rowgroup instead.
  • Color/bolding should not be used as the sole visual means of conveying information; use a symbol in addition.
  • Please see MOS:DTAB for example table code if this isn't clear.

@MPGuy2824, I did not know about {{sronly}}, thank you for pointing this out. All headers and scopes added.

MB2437 11:49, 19 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
  • In the first key table there is a section about tyres that should be removed since none of those are used in the rest of the page.
  • By my point about color, I also meant tables like "Senior direct-drive classes" and others which are no-nos from the accessibility lens (See Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility/Data tables tutorial#Color). This includes both the main (red-blue spectrum) as well as the gold-bronze spectrum.
    • The first multi-column cell "CIK-FIA senior direct-drive class timeline in kart racing" also needs to be converted to the caption of the table.
  • You can eliminate the right-side year column if a table only has a few columns. Even where you are keeping this column, the cells should not be the header cells of that row. (Remove the "!" and the scope from those cells)
  • You should seriously give thought to splitting this list. Maybe by the four classes (senior, junior, gearbox and other). Choose whichever class is the highest first and nominate that for FL. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 13:02, 19 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    @MPGuy2824: good spot on the key—fixed. Also fixed the table captions. With regards to those 'tables', they serve as infographics rather than data tables; I will have a look at improving them, although I am unsure on how to retain the information while simultaneously keeping it within an accessible height and width. Removed the ! from the year column of the short tables. The list itself is already split from 1964–2006 and other (non-FIA) international categories. MB2437 03:32, 21 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  • "both the First and Second Republic." I think republics should be plural. If it is plural then i am not sure if it should be capitalized, leaning towards no
  • "happened during the First Republic of the Maldives in 1952."→"happened in 1952, during the First Republic of the Maldives." more clear
  • Otherwise, prose is understandable and good
  • If you look at Gayoom and Nasir's rows then you can see that the independent is split up, I think this is unnecessary
  • Standardize where you put page numbers, sometimes it is inside the caption sometimes it is next to it.
  • I agree with MB2437 (who you should ping since you've resolved his requests, reviewers usually do not watch pages. so they do not see when nominators fulfill their requests without a ping) that the five unknown entries are probably known
    • you could contact a library, or archive perhaps. I don't think it is a super big issue but yeah
@Easternsahara: I've fixed it! I think the page numbers should be the same as It's only in the caption if that reference is only used once while if that reference is used more than once and if it has different page numbers then I put it next to it.

This is done by Easternsahara, I split the header because it was after my initial review. Please consider reviewing any of the World Heritage Sites nominations right now, either mine or Tone's User:Easternsahara 01:37, 26 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Easternsahara: Added the link to Psychology Press, added scope, and fixed the ref layout. I kept the 2008 election the same as it only requires two sources while the others were way more. Let me know if you need me to make any more additional changes! UnilandofmaTalk 07:13, 26 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I think this is fine, but it does make the reference column empty most of the time. EasternShah (talk) 19:14, 28 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@EasternShah: I'm open to any recommendations! UnilandofmaTalk 08:34, 29 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think that this is a data table, so it should follow MOS:DTAB, could you add "!scope=row" on the candidates' names?
  • The current ref layout is imprecise, and it suffers from WP:REFBOMB
    • To fix this, could you add the refs to the result section? ie. ref 21 only verifies the 1978 for Gayoom, so you put that there
    • For the ones with multiple candidates, you can just repeat the citation if one verifies multiple candidates
  • I will randomly check 10 citations, I will WP:AGF for the citations in Divehi, as I can not read it
  • Are "Maldivian Government Gazette" and "Gazette of the Maldivian Government" the same publication? If so, please use the same name for them
  • link "Psychology Press" it redirects to Taylor and francis
  • I will continue soon
  • pass source 1, 4, 19, 26, 28
  • hate to be pedantic but source 8 only verifies that 6 people different people ran, not that those people were from different political parties
  • first and third use of 12 is okay, but what section am I supposed to click on for the second use? could this be specified in the reference title? there's a policy somewhere, i forget what it is called but basically you can put the title of the web page, an en dash, and then the title of the section.

You have been resolving the problems I have raised quite diligently, I will be happy to support after you resolve the references issues. Looking forward to reviewing more Maldives-related lists in the future! Sahib-e-Qiran 04:11, 30 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@EasternShah I've fixed it and thanks! UnilandofmaTalk 05:54, 30 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Accessibility review (MOS:DTAB)

[edit]
  • 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.
  • 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. ! Year becomes !scope=col | Year. If the cell spans multiple columns with a colspan, then use !scope=colgroup instead.
  • Tables need row scopes on the "primary" column for each row, which in combination with column scopes lets screen reader software accurately determine and read out the headers for each cell of a data table. When such a cell spans multiple rows then use !scope=rowgroup.
  • Please see MOS:DTAB for example table code if this isn't clear.
  • All the images in the table seem to have different sizes. Standardize them, ideally with a round figure in pixels (e.g. 100px or 125px).
  • You can consider using the {{Party name with color}} template which gives the color and the short form of the name
  • There are 2 spans within the table code that are set to display=none. They don't seem to be necessary, so remove them.

@MPGuy2824: I've fixed everything you mentioned. As for the Party name with color template, I added them to the table but since that template doesn't abbreviate Independent to IND, I've left that part as is. UnilandofmaTalk 06:32, 30 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because this list includes all formations of tropical cyclones as well as the strengthening, weakening, landfalls, extratropical transitions, and dissipations during the 1996 Pacific hurricane season FrizzBTalk 15:43, 9 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I'm co-signing this, having been invited to do so by the nominator and having contributed a substantial amount to the timeline being nominated. The 1996 season was marked by a contradiction: activity was near record-low, but of the systems that did form, an unusually large portion affected land. Five of the season's nine nameable storms made landfall in Mexico, one of which, Hurricane Alma, killed 20 people. Dylan620 (he/they/she • talk • edits) 19:53, 10 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Well, this was a failure of due diligence on both our parts. File:1996 Pacific hurricane season summary.jpg is missing the entire Central Pacific, and with it the tracks of both One-C and Seventeen-W. I am going to ask at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Tropical cyclones for assistance in rectifying this. Dylan620 (he/they/she • talk • edits) 22:17, 13 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this as my first featured list because:

  • I believe this list to meet the criteria, namely: having good prose, a complete and engaging lead, comprehensive and well-sourced coverage, and good structure and style.
  • It seems that it is more appropriate to nominate it for Featured List than Good Article.

Thank you. ~Darth StabroTalk ā€¢ Contribs 17:42, 31 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]
  • "As of February 2025, there have been 3,536 Medals of Honor awarded" - Feb 25 was nearly a year ago, do we have any more up to date numbers?
  • "among the recipients are nine chaplains of the Army and Navy Chaplain Corps." - if these are separate, should the Navy one not also be mentioned at the start along with the Army one?
  • "All five chaplains awarded the honor since the Civil War have been Catholic priests;" - this sentence seems to end with a semi-colon
  • In some cases in the table, the battle is linked in both the place of action column and the notes but in others it is only linked in the former. Apply linking consistently
  • The notes against Haney and Whitehead do not need full stops per MOS:CAPFRAG
  • No need for the "see also" as it was already covered in the lead
  • That's it, I think! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 18:07, 31 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    • Updated to May 2025. No Medals of Honor have been awarded since then that I can tell.
    • The initial sentence is more about establishing the chaplain corps in general than the specific branch corps; I'm open to reworking it, thought.
    • I am guilty of loving semi-colons. Changed.
    • Changed.
    • Fixed.
    • Removed.

Not a review but I have been teaching people that {{Legend table}} exists for a more eye-appealing option for using a key on articles. It's not required but it does help it being its own spot instead of it just being a template and plain text. Cowboygilbert - (talk) ♄ 01:05, 4 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Source review (HurricaneZeta)

[edit]

As of this revision:

  • 1 -  Pass. My suggestion is to add the exact page number, which is 106, to make it easier to find within the book.
  • 2 -  Pass, it's an acceptable usage of a primary source.
  • 3 -  Pass
  • 4 -  Pass, confirms what is stated in the article within the first sentence and is dated to the same "as of" date in the article.
  • 5:
    • 5a -  Pass, as it clearly states that 9 chaplains have been awarded it and lists them. However, I'd like to see something more leaning towards or emphasizing the fact that these are the only chaplains to be awarded this, since it isn't immediately clear when I'm reading it. Feel free to ignore this though, this is really just a nitpick.
    • 5b - This doesn't actually explicitly say "Salem Church". However source 15 does, and it can be replaced here with that.
    • 5c -  Pass
    • 5d -  Pass. However, the sentence right before the ref is missing a period at the end.
    • 5e -  Pass
    • 5f -  Pass. Same thing as 5d, it's missing a period at the end.
  • 6 -  Pass
  • 7:
    • 7a -  Pass
    • 7b -  Pass
    • 7c - Typo, the article says April 11, 2023, (when Obama wasn't president) when the source says April 11, 2013. The source doesn't specifically mention Obama, so the phrasing could be changed a bit to remove the mention of him.
  • 8 -  Pass
  • 9 -  Pass
  • 10 -  Pass
  • 11:
    • 11a -  Pass
    • 11b -  Pass
  • 12 -  Pass
  • 13 -  Pass
  • 14 -  Pass
  • 15 -  Pass and my suggestion to replace 5b.
  • 16 -  Pass, also works to replace 5b.
  • 17 -  Pass
  • 18 -  Pass
  • 19 -  Pass
  • 20 -  Pass
  • 21 -  Pass
  • 22 -  Pass
  • 23 -  Pass
  • 24 -  Pass
  • 25 -  Pass
  • 26 -  Pass
  • 27 -  Pass
Overall, most sources are reliable and affirm what is in the sources. The notes and the prose were engaging and an image review has been done above. I'll support when the few concerns are addressed here Darth Stabro. HurricaneZetaC 23:30, 4 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@HurricaneZeta: All suggestions taken, except: ChrisTheDude recommended to me that those sentences not have periods at the end per MOS:CAPFRAG: Most captions are not complete sentences, but merely sentence fragments, which should not end with a period or full stop, though I could see that only applying to standalone image captions and not table image captions; please advise. ~Darth StabroTalk ā€¢ Contribs 16:20, 5 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]
  • Military chaplaincy in the United States traces its origins back to the American Revolutionary War, being formally established on July 29, 1775, just two weeks after the formal establishment of the Continental Army. – If possible, I'd try to avoid repeating the phrase "formal/formally established/establishment".
  • July 29, 1775, just two weeks after the formal establishment of the Continental Army. – I'm not sure "just" adds anything here.
  • and is awarded to recognize American military servicemembers – The OED appears to give this as two separate words: "service members". Cf. also these Ngrams.
  • Created during the American Civil War, the Medal of Honor is the United States Armed Forces' highest military decoration – I'd consider adding some dates to "American Civil War". It's common knowledge in the US I imagine, and in most other English-speaking countries, but might not be for readers from further abroad.
  • the United States Armed Forces' highest military decoration and is awarded to recognize American military servicemembers who have distinguished themselves in combat situations by acts of valor. – I think this could be tightened just a little: how about something like "highest military decoration, awarded to service members ..."? I think "American" and "military" are already implied, and I think "recognition" is part and parcel of being an award.
  • As of May 2025, there have been 3,536 Medals of Honor awarded; – It might be possible to avoid repeating "Medals of Honor" here. Perhaps "As of May 2025, it has been awarded 3,536 times"?
  • This mightn't be an issue, but have any been awarded since May 2025? I only ask because 3536 is a fairly large number, and would seem to imply that a dozen or so are handed out each year.
  • among the recipients are nine chaplains of the Army and Navy Chaplain Corps. – Pretty minor, but I assume all members of the Army and Navy Chaplain Corps are chaplains, and there's a lot of "chaplain"ing happening here. Perhaps something like "nine recipients are members of the ...".
  • One Army chaplain assistant has also received the award. – As this sentence is fairly short, I'd try combining it with the previous one.
  • Francis B. Hall of the 16th New York Volunteer Infantry Regiment was the first chaplain to be awarded the Medal of Honor, – "to receive"?
  • for actions at the Battle of Salem Church. – I would give some dates, and perhaps a very brief explanation. I'm assuming this was part of the American Civil War?
  • Four of the chaplains served in the Union army during the American Civil War, – As this is a new paragraph, I would specify "the chaplains who received the award" (technically "the chaplains" isn't referring back to anything here).
  • during the American Civil War, – Linked above
  • one served in the US Navy during World War II, – Similarly to above, I don't think "US" needs specifying here.
  • Four of the chaplains served in the Union army during the American Civil War, one served in the US Navy during World War II, one served in the Army in the Korean War, and the remaining three served in the Vietnam War; – Other than the first one, I think we can get away with omitting all instances of "served" here.
  • three served in the Vietnam War; two for the Army, and one for the Navy. – A semicolon should be followed by a full sentence; I think a regular colon would work here. I'd also write "two in the ...", as I think that's a bit more idiomatic.
  • All five chaplains awarded the honor since the Civil War have been Catholic priests. Two, Emil Kapaun and Vincent Capodanno, are in the process of canonization as saints. – As these are two closely related and fairly short sentences, I'd try combining them.
  • One chaplain, Charles Liteky, returned his Medal of Honor eighteen years after being awarded it, – As above: "receiving it"? Better still: unless the period of eighteen years is particularly important, it might be ideal to say "returned his Medal of Honor, leaving it at the ...", as I don't think anyone's ever returned an award before receiving it.
  • the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in an enveloped addressed to Ronald Reagan. – Typo
  • Liteky is believed to be the only recipient of the award to renounce it for political reasons. – Perhaps "the only recipient to renounce the award ..."?
  • The Four Chaplains' Medal, sometimes called the "Chaplain's Medal of Honor", was created – I'd say when.
  • sometimes called the "Chaplain's Medal of Honor", – You'll have to excuse my Australian-English-speaking self if I'm wrong here, but doesn't the punctuation go inside the quotation marks in American English?
  • was created for chaplains George L. Fox, Alexander D. Goode, John P. Washington, and Clark V. Poling, – A bit picky, but "chaplain" is used three times in this sentence. I would remove it before the four names, as I think their status as chaplains is probably implied.
  • who were nominated for the Medal of Honor but ineligible as they had not made contact with the enemy. – I think "were" is probably needed before "ineligible".
  • A lavender color along with the † symbol indicates that the Medal of Honor was awarded posthumously – This seems to be a full sentence, so I'd add a full stop.
  • Hmm. What's the order of the entries in the table? It seems to be mostly chronological by date of action, but not quite.
  • What are the sources for the information in the first six columns? For example, if I want to find a source that describes Hall as Presbyterian, where would I look?
  • This one's optional, but I'd consider adding links for the entries in the "Religion" column other than Catholicism, for those of us who can't remember our Presbyterianisms from our Methodisms.
  • Carried wounded men to the rear under heavy enemy fire – As I don't think it's likely to have been his allies who were firing at him, I'd omit "enemy".
  • Refused pay during his time of service. – I think it's fine for the first part in these entries to be a sentence fragment, but I'd probably switch to full sentences after that. (This applies below as well.) Then again, I'm not a regular at FLC, so let me know if this is standard practice in this sort of article.
  • There's nothing wrong with the description of Haney, but it does feel quite short. Do you think it'd be possible to add a little more?
  • American chaplains were formally not forbidden from carrying weapons until 1989. (in the note): "not formally forbidden"?
  • Only became the regimental chaplain after his award. – I'd write "after receiving his award"
  • Carried soldiers from the front lines to safety in the rear several times throughout the Battle of Stones River – Regarding "throughout": we list the "date of action" as the 31st of December, 1862, but the article on the battle seems to suggest it went on until the 2nd of January.
  • Served aboard the USS Franklin (CV-13) when attacked by Japanese aircraft. – I'd write "when it was attacked by"
  • As someone without any knowledge of ships or guns, "flooded the magazine" confused me at first. (It sounded as though we were about to say he "flooded the magazine with stories of his heroism" or something of the sort!) I'd link Magazine (artillery), and possibly include a brief explanation of what this is.
  • The Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA – Comma after "USA"
  • Pope Francis declared him "Venerable" in 2025. – Maybe "gave him the title ..."?
  • Served with the Marine Corps. – As I don't think it's been mentioned above, you could link United States Marine Corps.
  • attempting to minister to a corpsman approximately 15 yards from an enemy machine gun. – I'd include some form of conversion here.
  • during the Battle of Dak To, ministering to soldiers and rescuing soldiers – I'd omit the first "soldiers"
  • Awarded the Medal of Honor for rescuing 23 wounded men without protective gear during an ambush in 1967. – As I think all of the cells in this column are describing the actions that led to them receiving the award, I'd remove "Awarded the Medal of Honor for".
  • Renounced his Medal of Honor in 1986 as an act of protest against American foreign policy – In the lead, we mention Reagan. Unless there's a reason not to, I'd do so here as well and perhaps give a bit of explanation of what in particular he was protesting.
  • Bugler to E Company of the 14th Infantry Regiment. – What does "E" mean here? Is it the name of a particular company?
  • Provided music for religious services in the unit, and became – I'd remove the comma here.
  • Scaled a wall along the eastern side of Peking to lay down suppressing fire on the enemy above. – Hmm. I'm having trouble picturing this: he scaled a wall to "lay down" fire on an enemy who was above him?
  • Became an official chaplain assistant in the year they were introduced. – Maybe "in the year the position was introduced"?
  • On my screen, the first table is being pushed down a bit by the sidebar, which creates a gap between the "Chaplains" section heading and the table. There might not be anything you can do about that, though.
  • The section heading is repeated at the top of each of the tables. I think the table captions can be hidden using "|+ {{sronly|caption_text}}".

This was a pleasant read, and most of these are fairly minor prose points. Looking forward to your responses. – Michael Aurel (talk) 07:29, 13 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

My first FLC in a while! Gu Yanwu was a scholar during the last days of the Ming dynasty. Upset at the very violent Qing conquest, he wandered around China for most of his life, compiling and commentating on historical works. He had a very negative perspective on essentially all Chinese philosophy since the time of the Confucian classics, but ended up laying the groundwork for future generations of scholars, leading to the concept of Hanxue - Han studies.

The list here draws from Ian Johnston's listing of his bibliography, which itself is based off lists by Jean-FranƧois Vergnaud and Jan Hagman. Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 13:35, 30 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

If you have any questions, feel free to ask away. It might seem like a lot of changes, but most are really minor (like adding a comma, "the", "a" or "and). Other changes are also pretty minor, like changing tense. Good work, as always.

  • Um er-Rasas is spelled "Umm ar-Rasas" on the map, please fix the spelling
    • It also has 2 sites, can you add this to the map?
      • I am going with the Unesco source here, but I made sure that the piped link is correct. And yes, two sites, but very close together so the markers would overlap. Maybe better a single one in this resolution.
  • "Umm Al-Jimāl is spelled "Umm el-Jimal" on the map, please fix it
    • Same here. Awkward, though.
  • "as far as to"→"as far as"
  • "of Roman Empire"→"of the of Roman Empire"
  • "system that"→"system, which"
  • " Al-Khazneh, or the treasury, is pictured." move this after the citation, it is not covered by that citation and it doesn't need to be, it is a fairly conservative application of WP:SKYBLUE
    • "or the treasury"→"transliterated the treasury" or something similar. "or" is used in these cases but it is confusing+weird in this one
  • "monks The"→"monks. The"
  • "illustrating several"→"similar to several"
    • I don't think that's what the source says.
  • "landforms including"→"landforms, including"
  • "different languages of the region"→"various local languages"
  • "region and reached"→"region, and reached"
  • "communities who"→"communities, who"
  • "Merchants and craftsmen from the region settled in As-Salt" specify which region
  • "creating a distinct city built with yellow limestone that had European Art Nouveau and Neo-Colonial styles combined with local traditions"→"creating a distinct city, built with yellow limestone, that incorporated European Art Nouveau and Neo-Colonial styles with local traditions"
  • "site of Roman"→"site of a Roman"
  • "It represents a typical settlement of the agricultural communities of the Hauran region of the period."→"It is a typical settlement of the Hauran region's agricultural communities of that period." If the sources say which period it is (ie. Byzantine, Greek, Later Roman) then you can specify what "that period" is
  • "Numerous inscriptions in different languages found on site demonstrate the changing "→"Numerous inscriptions, located on the site, in different languages demonstrate changing"
  • "Al Qastal is one of the oldest Umayyad settlements in the region" specifying what "the region" allows the reader to better understand the significance of this statement
  • "during the Abbasid period, abandoned, and resettled"→"under Abbasid rule until being abandoned, and was later resettled" period appears 13 times in this article but rules does not appear at all. changing it here varies the prose.
    • However, the exact wording depends on what the sources says. if it means that it was both abandoned and later resettled under the Mamluks then you can rephrase it as "under Abbasid rule, until being both abandoned, and resettled". However, if it means it was abandoned after abbasid rule, then the mamluks came in to resttle it, then you can use the first rephrasing
  • "bathhouse, and water reservoirs and cisterns"→"bathhouse, cisterns, and water reservoirs" there is no need to use two "and"s in this case
  • "Early Islamic tombstones found and remains of mosaics found"←"Early Islamic tombstones and remains of mosaics found" you don't need to repeat "found"
  • "church dating from"→"church, dating from"
  • "Byzantine Greek inscription" link "Byzantine Greek" and should inscription be plural? It usually is, but not always which is why I am asking
  • "1115 to strengthen the control of the land and to control the desert road."→"1115, to strengthen the control of the land and desert road." which desert road, should specify
  • "by Saladin until"→"by Saladin, until"
  • "periods, the"→"periods. The"

[edit]

Good work as always, so my comments are only nitpicks

  • Please put dmy dates and nigerian english tags
  • could there be more citations for "father of modern African literature", i agree with the statement but it seems like a big title to give someone. I would say 2 more high quality sources are okay
  • I am not very experienced with writing the lead of articles but i think the second paragraph would work better as a embedded list. Not sure if this is allowed in the lead
  • Either redlink "Oxford Research Encyclopedia of African History" or link to Oxford Research Encyclopedias
  • James Currey should be linked on mention as a publisher in the references
  • link Weaver Press, Mkuki na Nyota, Ohio University Press, Wits University Press (only a redirect currently)

Pass image review, there is only 1 (the covers of the books wouldn't qualify for fair use), the alt is good, licensing is good, used appropriately. User:Easternsahara 07:28, 30 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

TheNuggeteer

[edit]
  • Why is this list format different from other featured bibliographies (like most here)? I believe it should be a table.
    It is not a must to have them as table since they are going to be short. In fact, I chose this format and it is acceptable here.
  • In my opinion, instead of having an entire section for just one work, you can list it in a Miscellaneous section.
    I am afraid it will "sort of" confuse readers since it's listed singly in the lede, hence having it under a certain section, lets say "Non fiction", then the lede needs to be rewritten, and it won't follow the source (which didn't say nonfiction).
  • Another suggestion, but I think, instead of listing the sources grouped up, you should place them after the specific works instead.
    That's a great suggestion but I prefer the former since it wouldn't waste anyone's time. It'sore convenient for me.SafariScribeEdits! Talk! 09:02, 3 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    The one I suggested does not waste anyone's time since you can easily check and access the source at the end of the specific book instead of grouping them. šŸ—TheNuggeteeršŸ— (My "blotter") 10:25, 3 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    done all
Source review
[edit]
  • "Achebe's works have been extensively studied by academics and scholars, and won him several awards. His legacy is celebrated annually during the Chinua Achebe Literary Festival." This is neither neutral nor cited, please cite this and try to make this sentence less biased.
  • White 2017 is okay, but there are some issues:
  • "Nigerian author Chinua Achebe (1930–2013) wrote fiction, nonfiction, short stories, essays and poems" is not said in the source
  • The source does not say Things Fall Apart was published in 1958.
  • Fredrick 2013 is okay.
  • Parkes 2009 is okay.
  • Showalter 2009 is okay.
  • I sadly can't access the rest of the books, but I will accept them in good faith.

    I'm not insisting that you merge the two sections. All I'm saying is that you should mention something about it in the lead section. You can incorporate it into the current prose somehow. e.g. "Seon-ho has appeared in 1 film, x tv show (unscripted entertainment), y tv series (scripted entertainment), z radio, ....." If there is a wikilink to explain the difference, then all the better. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 06:54, 19 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Was originally targeting GA for this, but realized thanks to the nom for 2021 NHL expansion draft that FL would be a more appropriate target. I've spent the last few days overhauling the article, significantly improving the refs. I've also turned the long list of concession trades into a table, and prose-ified the "Post-draft" section. I've also made various updates to bring it in line with the 2021 article, currently under FL consideration as well. The Kip (contribs) 07:33, 23 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Section links aren't allowed in section headers per MOS:NOSECTIONLINKS
  • Why does 2017 NHL expansion draft#Trades not have any columns? To the average reader (like myself), this makes no sense.
  • In the same section, colors need a key or need to be removed if they do not convey information.
  • Scopes are needed in the Draft results section for both the columns and rows. Put the row scopes on the players name, not the number.
  • For the keys, if you want that is (I won't hold it against you), you could create a key table that some articles use.
  • Image accessibility is good.

Comments from Bgsu98

[edit]

There is also a situation with the table under Trades. You cannot use <br> to simulate another row within the same cell. For example, you have Buffalo Sabres concession and 6th-round pick in 2017 (#161 overall) within the same cell with a pseudo line dividing them. That whole table is very difficult to follow. Perhaps you should have three columns ("Other team", Concession, and Vegas selection) plus the column for References. This is just a rough mock-up:

"Other team" Concession Vegas selection Ref.
Buffalo Sabres 6th-round pick in 2017 (#161 overall) William Carrier [Insert reference here]

Bgsu98 (Talk) 02:17, 4 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Bgsu98 The table format is pulled from the trade tables we use at transaction pages (ex. 2025–26 NHL transactions#Trades) - I disagree that there's an issue with the colors (there to visually differentiate each row) or <hr> lines. Never heard of there being problems with using <br> in tables, either. I can add column headers, however, and I'll take care of the rest of the concerns as well. The Kip (contribs) 06:13, 5 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
User:The Kip: I apologize; that was from an earlier draft of my comment. I was having trouble following this table, and the pseudo lines in each cell made it appear as if the information on the top of one cell corresponded to the information in the top half of the adjacent cell. There is nothing wrong with using <br> as long as it's not used to simulate artificial rows across cells. I still maintain that the current layout is poor and I still encourage you to reformat it. For example, there is no reason to have "Vegas selection" repeated over and over. As for the use of gray, that wasn't my comment, and as long as it is not conveying information, which it's not, it shouldn't be a problem. I don't think it's necessary, but that is purely a personal opinion and not grounded in any policy. Bgsu98 (Talk) 14:59, 5 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@Bgsu98 I've opted to reformat based on the table you suggested. Please take a look and let me know if it's up to par. Borrowed the row scopes from another of my FLs at List of Vegas Golden Knights draft picks so they still look normal rather than like headers. The Kip (contribs) 08:37, 6 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
User:The Kip: That is such a good improvement! However, you will still need rowscopes. You can use the code ! scope="row" style="text-align:left;font-weight:normal" so the text doesn't appear in bold if that's what you want. Stylistically, it's up to you. All of the tables will need rowscopes; it looks like some of them already do. Bgsu98 (Talk) 14:49, 6 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@Bgsu98 I believe it was just the concessions one lacking it, which I've taken care of - the protection lists seem to already have it. The Kip (contribs) 22:16, 6 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Lead
  • The standard is to not have any citations in the lead. Anything stated in the lead should theoretically be restated elsewhere in the article. So you have two citations (sources no. 1 and 2) that should be brought down into the main body of the text, and if that information is not there, it should be added. I wouldn't copy word-for-word; I would slightly rephrase it.
Background
  • "The Vegas bid would make the NHL the first "Big Four" major professional sports league to place a franchise in Las Vegas, though the league previously had a limited presence in the city with annual pre-season games, beginning with an outdoor game in 1991 and the Frozen Fury series held each year since 1997." Is this sourced anywhere?
  • What is currently source no. 5 requires a subscription or an account; it should reflect that in the citation.
  • "the Golden Knights signed Canadian center Reid Duke to a three-year, entry-level contract, making him the franchise's first player." This needs a source.
Rules
  • You have some instances of numbers larger than 10 being spelled out and others where they are rendered as numbers. Whichever style you choose, they should be consistent.
Tables
  • The tables look great now and appear to be properly structured per MOS:ACCESS.
Post-draft
  • "Not all players selected by the Golden Knights in the Expansion Draft remained with the team."

User:The Kip: I swear, I've reviewed a similar article to this in the past. Did you submit another hockey draft article through FLC recently? Anyway, please let me know if you have any questions about my comments or suggestions. Bgsu98 (Talk) 07:24, 7 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Bgsu98 Sorry for the delay:
  • Moved the info to two different sections, along with the citations.
  • Frozen Fury and the 1991 outdoor game are sort of self-sourced to their respective articles (1991 one wasn't previously linked, I added it), but I've added a cite for them being the first major pro team in Vegas.
  • Opted to go for numbers for anything over ten.

Round three of me nominating a list for FL! As you might be able to tell from my userboxes that the Buffalo Sabres are my favorite hockey team, I decided to take a stab at finishing off some of the lists for the Sabres. They have had a wide variety of picks that they have made, ranging from some all-time greats to some... questionable first round picks that busted in quick fashion. Hope you enjoy!

As of this revision:

  • 1 -  Pass
  • 2 -  Pass
  • 3:
    • 3a -  Pass
    • 3b -  Pass
  • 4 -  Pass. However, I recommend moving this after move up to the first overall pick. since source 5 is the one that mentions From 1995 to 2012, the winner of the draft lottery was allowed to move up a maximum of four positions in the entry draft.
  • 5 -  Pass
  • 6:
    • 6a -  Pass
    • 6b -  Pass
    • 6c -  Pass, took a while but spot checks check out for the table
  • 7 -  Pass
  • 8 -  Pass but is there a better source than NYP?
  • 9 -  Pass
  • 10 -  Pass
  • 11 -  Pass, but by the way his article's titled Gilbert Perreault but it's spelled as "Perrault" throughout this article.
  • 12 -  Pass
  • 13 -  Pass
  • 14 -  Pass
  • The 2 general references are relevant to the article and complement the table.
  • There's only one image that checks out, so pass on that as well.

Support on sourcing, but the few concerns do need to be addressed Kline. HurricaneZetaC 21:05, 5 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  • Why is "VancouverIsAwesome.com" a reliable source?
  • Both "NHL.com" and "National Hockey League" are used in the sources
  • Ref 13 should be marked as subscription needed

  • It's one of those sites where it's more of a hyperlocal news website, similar to ones I've used before for topics related to a single event. It's operated by Glacier Media which doesn't seem to be unreliable from what I can tell.
  • Fixed.

  • I picked Pominville as he had the most recent image with a Sabres uniform on, but I won't object to changing to Perreault.

In Bruges is a 2008 black comedy crime film written and directed by Martin McDonagh in his feature-length directorial debut. The film follows Ray (Colin Farrell) and Ken (Brendan Gleeson), two Irish hitmen in hiding in Bruges, 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.

  • "[black comedy] [crime film]" is an MOS:SOB violation
  • Add citations to the EFNs
  • I spotted two doubles spaces, ("at the 81st Academy Awards" in paragraph 2, "films of 2008" in paragraph 3) weirdly these are only present in editing mode, I suspect this is a Mediawiki thing. Regardless, fix them and make sure there aren't others
  • The Hollywood Reporter article doesn't source either the "crime film" or "black comedy" labels
  • "two Irish hitmen in hiding in Bruges" -> "two Irish hitmen hiding in Bruges" this ones optional but I think it would improve the flow

[edit]
  • 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.
  • consists of monuments – Perhaps link monument?
    • Monument is a very basic concept, it is expected that someone knows what that it is and we do not link obvious things
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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).
    • Don
  • of the Roman world. – link Roman Empire
    • Done
  • Sabratha got absorbed – "was" is preferable in formal writing.
    • done
  • absorbed in the Roman province of Africa in 46 BCE. – "absorbed into"
    • 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 of this article?
  • the Byzantines until – "Byzantines, before"
    • done
  • 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?
  • with the massive 365 earthquake – "the" seems to imply we're using a proper name or that the reader should already be familiar with this event.
    • done, unpiped link to be more descriptive
  • the city include 6thāˆ’ and 7th–century – use hyphens
  • 6thāˆ’ and 7th–century Greek temples, – link Ancient Greek temple
  • 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
  • during and after the African humid period – Per MOS: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
  • 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.
  • Libya maintains three properties – "has three sites", perhaps?
  • 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?
    Hm, seems to be another case of the source being a bit vague. I suppose this is fine. Slightly rephrased the "that" part, which didn't quite work. – Michael Aurel (talk) 02:50, 31 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • 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.
  • 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.

Note: these comments have been moved to the bottom so that they can be more easily addressed. – Michael Aurel (talk) 00:46, 16 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  • 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.
  • 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]
  • was founded as a Phoenician settlement LPQ – What does "LPQ" mean here?
    That makes sense. You could write "known in Punic as LPQ" in brackets, though I'd probably just remove it here, as I'm not it's crucial information for our purposes. – Michael Aurel (talk) 02:19, 31 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • After becoming the Emperor – link Roman emperor, remove "the", and remove capitalisation
    • Linked roman emperor, kept "the" per WP: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, compare Roman emperor: "When a given Roman is described as becoming emperor in English, ...". – Michael Aurel (talk) 02:47, 1 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
        • Done, sorry for misunderstanding
  • It was pillaged in the 4th century, – By whom?
  • was pillaged in ... reconquered by ... and was finally abandoned following – no "was" for parallelism
  • Founded as ... and then part of – This doesn't work grammatically.
  • 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.
  • 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 ..."?
  • They reflect the changes – By "they", do you mean the phases?
    Makes sense. I'd go for "These phases reflect", to make clear we aren't referring to the "motifs and artistic styles". – Michael Aurel (talk) 02:21, 31 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • 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.
    • I changed it to "it was no longer considered by UNESCO to be endangered"
  • 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.
    • State parties keep a tentative list, if the tentative listings are determined by UNESCO to be suitable for nomination (including the nomination paperwork itself, not just the site) then the state party may nominate it. Usually about 10-20 sites are nominated every year but many more sites that are deemed suitable for nomination are not. UNESCO itself convenes only for 3 days, so state parties may not nominate one thing every year (technically not required, just to be equitable) and they only nominate the things that they think have the highest chance for inscription (because of the short duration of UNESCO meetings). In other words, Libya considers whether to nominate these sites to the UNESCO World Heritage Committee for inscription.
  • 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.
    That's better. I'd try to reorient the last point so that it refers to concrete finds, to match the other items ("traces", "stone flake tools", "stone blades"). Maybe something like "evidence of the transition to farming, 10,000–7000 years ago"? – Michael Aurel (talk) 02:46, 31 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Source review (1/2/26)

[edit]

I will do your source review since reviews of the prose seem to have been thorough. The source review template does not seem to like tables, so I do it manually.

  • The lead appears to (justifiably) use boilerplate wording, the same as similar lists. I love consistency among article series like this!
  • Source no. 2 – Checks out.
  • Source no. 3 – Checks out.
  • Source no. 7 – Checks out. I know there have been questions raised in the past about the almost exclusive use of UNESCO sources. Are there other historical references that could also be used as a source here, perhaps from the Leptis Magna wiki article? Just curious. This same question could apply to any of these, honestly.
  • Source no. 11 & 12 – The historical information in the prose is supported by source no. 12.
  • Source no. 15 – Checks out.
  • Source no. 18 – Checks out.

The following are comments I have as I'm examining the sources.

  • What does it mean, LPQ? (Archaeological Site of Leptis Magna)

User:Tone: Source review passed. My other comments are merely suggestions. Bgsu98 (Talk) 02:25, 3 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! We've discussed UNESCO vs. other sources at previous nominations and my opinion is that the list states why something was listed as WHS, for which all other sources than UNESCO would be derivative. I sometimes use other sources if key information is missing (some older tentative sites are missing the text, for example). As for LPQ, that is the name in the Punic language.

Fails WP:FLCR#3 and WP:MINREF. Multiple statements with citation needed templates. cookiemonster755 (talk) 16:31, 18 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

To be honest, the whole introduction is a mess. Bgsu98 (Talk) 09:06, 21 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Notified: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Skyscrapers

I am nominating this for featured list removal because it has not aged well and has many critical issues, primarily citations.

  • Major citation needed, some are indicated with tags, but many statements lack citations. For example much of the history section is unreferenced, many notes.
  • Some fluffy words were added: "Downtown Detroit has been undergoing revitalization in the 21st century...bringing with it many significant restoration projects and new high-rises." - uncited (current citation doesn't talk about skyscraper restoration as far as I can tell) but also not backed up by the table itself (only 1 building is under construction).
  • Subheading called "proposed" but includes no proposed buildings
  • Outdated wording "this is a list of..."
  • Notes that should be in notes but instead are in the heading (the year column represents...)
  • Could use more linking (standard height measurements, pinnacle height)
  • Heavily reliant on SkyscraperPage as a source, but it's considered inappropriate. from this previous discussion
  • I did a spot check for the statement "Fully renovated in 2012 as a mixed-use, primarily residential building". But the links did not contain this information. Also this isn't a complete sentence. Another spot check failed for the David Broderick Tower: the text says lower 4 floors are offices and the citation says "office space on floors 5 and 6".
  • One note on estimated height isn't in the notes section, and is unexplained. Why would a building made in 2024 not have a known height?
  • No images have alt-texts, which is a mandatory accessibility issue.
  • Notes B-E do not have citations.
  • "several buildings in Detroit", why not list exact number with a citation?

I tried to make some of these changes, but have nearly entered a edit war so I bring this here to get other's opinions. Mattximus (talk) 16:21, 1 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Bgsu98 and @Mattximus, en masse FLRC nominations would overload FLRC, the nominators, and the wikiprojects in question. Please nominate them one at a time. Accessedgrant (Epicgenius mobile alt) (talk) 18:16, 1 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
  • Agree, this one will take quite a bit of work to save, and work has begun. 02:38, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
Agree that the SkyscraperPage citations could be removed as all of these buildings have a CTBUH citation instead; when it was promoted in 2007 citing Emporis and SkyscraperPage was the norm and no one had an issue with that somehow. Some other citations can be improved or added, just tag cn on those if there is an unsupported statement.
Alt texts can be added, and citations could be improved. I will work on that.
Re: "several buildings in Detroit ... " I wrote that phrase after you insisted on rephrasing the text before the table to include the number, then added a 'citation needed' tag to it. The thing about lists of tallest buildings is that there is *no* single or consistent reliable source reporting buildings above a certain height - absolutely none.
Are you certain none? Municipal planning documents? Zoning documents? Tax or property records? City building permit databases? Have you tried [data.detroitmi.gov] Mattximus (talk) 02:42, 2 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

CTBUH will have buildings missing, SkyscraperPage will have buildings missing, and these two are the only databases for this sort of information. The list includes building verified to exist whose heights are verifiable, which is why it can be confidently said to have the number of entries in the table, that being 39. I think people are unaware of just how spotty building height data is when organizations like the CTBUH don't even seem to care as much.

In addition, there is no guideline that says the text can not say "this table includes" or "this list ranks ...", which is indeed how it was phrased when this list was promoted in 2007. You suggest that the only alternative is to write the exact number of entries instead, which (having checked many other featured lists) is not something they do at all, and is untenable for reasons I cited above.
The proposed subheading is simply to show that there are no proposed buildings.
This doesn't make sense unfortunately, we can't have a heading that says proposed buildings then include no proposed buildings (this is independent of the fact we shouldn't even be including proposed buildings on a list of tallest buildings). Mattximus (talk) 02:39, 2 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I'd be fine with removing the pinnacle height table entirely.
I do take some offense to saying it hasn't "aged well", considering this list was in much poorer shape that a year ago, before I made any edits to it. The average reader interested in Detroit's skyline will find the current list very useful. LivinAWestLife (talk) 18:01, 1 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@Mattximus You supported promoting List of tallest buildings in Spokane a few years ago, which directly states "Spokane has 24 high rises that stand at least 145 feet (44 m) tall based on standard height measurement ..." without a source stating that there are 24. This is fine since every entry does have a citation for the height, such that I know it is reasonably comprehensive. So I doubt this is an issue. In comparison, the Detroit article is more detailed and informative.
The only valid critique is the inclusion of proposed, non-approved buildings alluding to WP:CRYSTAL, which I am fine with removing. LivinAWestLife (talk) 18:16, 1 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Also, regarding "Why would a building made in 2024 not have a known height", there are many, many, MANY new skyscrapers and high-rises whose heights are unknown because the developer doesn't bother to release them. It's way more likely that an older building has a known height because an organization like CTBUH has bothered to measure it. This is unfortuately true as I have come to known over years of dealing with this stuff. LivinAWestLife (talk) 18:01, 1 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@Mattximus If you prefer, I can reformat the table heading to clarify "year of completion" or any other long headers as a footnote. LivinAWestLife (talk) 23:02, 1 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I'm happy with the note feature already used in the table, or add year of completion in the table, whatever you think looks good. Just shouldn't be in the heading for the table, which is a summary of the contents of the table, not the table itself (which is why it shouldn't start with "this is a table of").

Per recent changes to WP:FLCR #3c, FLs are required to have at least 8 entries. This list has 7 entries (duplicate entries in a second 20–20–20–20 table shouldn't count twice) and doesn't seem likely to expand soon. This is not a judgment against the page's quality – perhaps this should be resubmitted at GAN. RunningTiger123 (talk) 17:54, 16 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Support per above. ~2026-36939-5 (talk) 17:10, 23 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
While I am fine with 7 entries, as the 8 is rather arbitrary cutoff, I do have an issue with the 20–20–20-20 table, seemingly out of nowhere, and not explaining what the extra 20 means. Mattximus (talk) 01:00, 25 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@Mattximus: The extra 20 is for stolen bases, and explained at Furthermore, four players amassed 20 or more stolen bases during their 20–20–20 season. These players are collectively referred to as the 20–20–20–20 club.[4] —Bagumba (talk) 01:08, 25 January 2026 (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. See Talk: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 proved not to be UGC, anyway), a significant lack of comprehension listing of data that does 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 as Tornadoes 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-keeping Thomas P. Grazulis uses in his Significant tornadoes line of books.
    • In addition, this list is missing numerous tornadoes within the "intense" range.
  • Details about my UGC concern are further detailed at Talk:List of Iowa tornadoes#Tornado Paths source, but the short version is that a source cited in a table is listed as published by ArcGIS 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 follow MOS: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.
  • More details than I can provide quickly here can be found on the article's talk page at the anchor Talk:List of Iowa tornadoes#What in the heck?. Departure– (talk) 23:45, 29 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
One more note: List of Iowa tornadoes is currently scheduled to appear as Today's featured list starting October 6. Departure– (talk) 23:48, 29 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
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. EF5 01:56, 30 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Update - I have been adding tornadoes over the past week from the Thomas 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]
Wait ActuallyElite is actively working to address these problems so I think we should give them a chance to work on it. I admit I was somewhat careless with the source review but it had improved much since this nomination was started.

User:Departure–: What is your take on the quality of this article at this point? It has been three months since this FLR was proposed, which should have been more than enough time to correct any issues. Pinging User:ActuallyElite. Bgsu98 (Talk) 01:50, 3 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Delegate note - ActuallyElite has been steadily overhauling this list, and is up to 1990 as of a couple days ago. I'm leaving this open until that's done, but I think we're good here once they get to today. --PresN 16:19, 16 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Bgsu98 (10/10/25)

[edit]

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 assisting User: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]
