Handbook cover
Handbook cover

La Salute è in voi! ("Health/Salvation is in you!") was an early 1900s bomb-making handbook associated with the Galleanisti, followers of anarchist Luigi Galleani, particularly in the United States. The anonymously written, Italian-language handbook repackaged technical content from encyclopedias and applied chemistry books into plain directions for non-technical amateurs to build explosives. It wrapped this content in a political manifesto advocating for impoverished workers to overcome their despair and commit to individual, revolutionary acts. American police and historians used the handbook to profile anarchists and imply guilt by possession. It figured prominently in the prosecution of the Bresci Circle, a case that revolved around the anarchists' right to read. Successful political bombers of this era ultimately had career backgrounds in explosives and were not the self-taught amateurs the handbook sought to create. (Full article...)

Rock Springs massacre

The Rock Springs massacre occurred in 1885 in the present-day United States city of Rock Springs, Wyoming. The riot, and resulting massacre of immigrant Chinese miners by white immigrant miners, was the result of racial prejudice toward the Chinese miners, who were perceived to be taking jobs from the white miners. The Union Pacific Coal Department found it economically beneficial to give preference in hiring to Chinese miners, who were willing to work for lower wages than their white counterparts, angering the white miners. When the rioting ended, at least 28 Chinese miners were dead and 15 were injured. Rioters burned 78 Chinese homes, resulting in approximately $150,000 in property damage (equal to $5.09 million in 2020 terms). The massacre in Rock Springs touched off a wave of anti-Chinese violence, especially in the Puget Sound area of Washington Territory.

Western Chalukya Empire in 1121
Western Chalukya Empire in 1121

The Western Chalukya Empire ruled most of the western Deccan, South India, between the 10th and 12th centuries. This Kannadiga dynasty is sometimes called the Kalyani Chalukya after its regal capital at Kalyani, today's Basavakalyan in the modern Bidar District of Karnataka state, and alternatively the Later Chalukya from its theoretical relationship to the sixth-century Chalukya dynasty of Badami. Prior to the rise of the Western and Eastern Chalukyas, the Rashtrakuta Empire of Manyakheta controlled most of the Deccan and Central India for over two centuries. In 973, seeing confusion in the Rashtrakuta Empire after a successful invasion of their capital by the ruler of the Paramara dynasty of Malwa, Tailapa II, a feudatory of the Rashtrakuta dynasty ruling from Bijapur region, defeated his overlords and made Manyakheta his capital. The dynasty quickly rose to power and grew into an empire under Someshvara I who moved the capital to Kalyani. (Full article...)

    A plan of the cities of London and Westminster, and borough of Southwark

    A Plan of the Cities of London and Westminster, and Borough of Southwark is a 1746 map of the City of London and surrounding area, surveyed by John Rocque and engraved by John Pine. Rocque combined two surveying techniques: he made a ground-level survey with a compass and a physical metal chain – the unit of length also being the chain. Compass bearings were taken of the lines measured. He also created a triangulation network over the entire area to be covered by taking readings from church towers and similar high places using a theodolite made by Jonathan Sisson (inventor of the telescopic-sighted theodolite) to measure the observed angle between two other prominent locations. The process was repeated from point to point. This image depicts all 24 sheets of Rocque's map.

    John Oliver, comedian

    Our Lady of Perpetual Exemption was a legally recognized church in the United States established by the comedian and satirist John Oliver (pictured). Announced on August 16, 2015, in an episode of the television program Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, the church's purpose was to highlight and criticize televangelists, such as Kenneth Copeland and Robert Tilton, who Oliver argued used television broadcasts of Christian church services for private gain. Oliver also established Our Lady of Perpetual Exemption to draw attention to the tax-exempt status given to churches. During his show on September 13, 2015, Oliver announced that the church had received "thousands of dollars" and a variety of other items from viewers, and stated that the Church would be shutting down. All monetary donations were given to Doctors Without Borders. Oliver set up spinoffs of the Church in 2018 and 2021. The segments and later spinoff segments featured the comedian Rachel Dratch as Oliver's fictional wife, Wanda Jo. (Full article...)

    Alan Brooke, the first commanding officer of the Mobile Division
    Alan Brooke, the first commanding officer of the Mobile Division

    The British 1st Armoured Division had eight permanent commanders, or general officer commanding (GOC). The 1st Armoured Division was an armoured division of the British Army. It was formed in 1937 and disbanded in 1945. The division was commanded by a GOC, who received orders from a level above him in the chain of command, and then used the forces within the division to undertake the mission assigned. In addition to directing the tactical battle in which the division was involved, the GOC oversaw a staff and the administrative, logistical, medical, training, and discipline concerns of the division. On 24 November 1937, after several years of debate on such a formation, the division was founded as the Mobile Division. It was then renamed, in April 1939, as the 1st Armoured Division. Following the start of the Second World War, subordinate units and formations were withdrawn from the division to reinforce others. It was eventually deployed for combat, in May 1940. (Full list...)

    Dorothy Olsen

    Dorothy Olsen (1916–2019) was an American aircraft pilot and member of the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASPs) during World War II. She developed an interest in aviation at a young age and earned her private pilot's license in 1939, when it was unusual for women to be pilots. In 1943, Olsen joined the newly formed WASPs as a civil service employee. After training in Texas, she was assigned to the Sixth Ferrying Group in Long Beach, California, where she worked ferrying new aircraft from the factories where they were built to U.S. airbases. She flew more than 20 types of military airplanes, including high-performance fighters – such as the P-51 and the twin-engine P-38 – which she favored over larger aircraft such as bombers. After the war, Olsen retired from flying and moved to the state of Washington, where she married, raised a family, and lived for the rest of her life. In 2009, she was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal honoring her service during the war. (Full article...)

    Nazca lines

    The Nazca lines are a group of geoglyphs made in the soil of the Nazca Desert in southern Peru. They were created in two major phases – the Paracas phase (from 400 BC to 200 BC) and the Nazca phase (from 200 BC to 500 AD). The combined length of all the lines is more than 1,300 km (800 mi), and the group covers an area of about 50 km2 (19 sq mi). Most lines run straight across the landscape, but there are also figurative designs of animals and plants. Scholars differ in interpreting the purpose of the designs, but in general, they ascribe religious significance to them. The lines were designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994. This is an aerial view of the geoglyph known as the "monkey", one of the most well-known in the Nazca lines.

    Adele
    Adele

    "Can I Get It" is a song by English singer Adele from her fourth studio album, 30 (2021). Adele wrote the song with its producers, Max Martin and Shellback. It was released by Columbia Records as the album's sixth track on 19 November 2021. A pop song with pop rock and country pop influences, "Can I Get It" has acoustic guitar, drum, and horn instrumentation and a whistled hook. The song is about moving on from a breakup and desiring a committed relationship, exploring Adele's search for true love and a new relationship. Music critics were generally positive about its acoustic portion and lyrics but highly criticised its whistled hook. They thought the brazen pop production of "Can I Get It" catered to the tastes of mainstream radio, which made it an outlier on 30, and compared it to Flo Rida's single "Whistle" (2012). The song reached the top 20 in Sweden, Canada, Switzerland, Australia, Finland, and Norway and entered the top 40 in some other countries. (This article is part of a featured topic: 30 (album).)

    Kajioka Sadamichi commanded the convoy.

    The Take Ichi convoy was a Japanese convoy of World War II. The convoy, under the command of rear admiral Sadamichi Kajioka (pictured), left Shanghai on 17 April 1944, carrying two infantry divisions to reinforce Japan's defensive positions in the Philippines and western New Guinea. United States Navy submarines attacked the convoy on 26 April and 6 May, sinking four transports and killing more than 4,000 soldiers. These losses caused the convoy to be diverted to Halmahera, where the surviving soldiers and their equipment were unloaded. The failure to bring the two divisions to their destination without loss contributed to the Japanese Imperial General Headquarters' decision to move Japan's defensive perimeter back by 1,000 km (600 mi). The divisions' combat power was also blunted by their losses, and while they both saw action against United States Army forces, they contributed little to Japan's attempt to defend its empire.

    The Structure of Literature is a 1954 book of literary criticism by Paul Goodman, the published version of his doctoral dissertation. It proposes a mode of formal literary analysis in which Goodman defines a formal structure within an isolated literary work, finds how parts of the work interact with each other to form a whole, and uses those definitions to study other works. Goodman analyzes multiple literary works as examples with close reading and genre discussion. Goodman finished his dissertation in 1940, but took 14 years to publish it. In mixed reviews, critics described the book as falling short of its aims; engaging psychological insight and incisive asides were mired in glaring style issues and jargon that made passages impenetrable or obscured his argument. Though Goodman contributed to the development of the Chicago School of Aristotelian formal literary criticism, he neither received wide academic recognition for his dissertation nor was his method accepted by his field.

    Anna Blackburne (1726 – 30 December 1793) was an English botanist and collector. She was born at Orford Hall in Lancashire into a family of landowners and after her mother's death she remained there with her father, John Blackburne, who had hothouses for exotic plants and an extensive library. Anne taught herself Latin so she could read the Systema Naturae of Carl Linnaeus and created a natural history museum where she collected insects, shells, minerals and birds. She knew the naturalist Johann Reinhold Forster who instructed her in entomology, and corresponded with other naturalists, including Linnaeus. Her brother Ashton, who lived in New York, sent her specimens of North American birds. The naturalist Thomas Pennant described these birds in his Arctic Zoology. After her father's death, Anna and her museum moved to nearby Fairfield Hall. After her death, her nephew John Blackburne inherited her collection. Several species are named for her, including the Blackburnian warbler. (Full article...)

    The horned sungem (Heliactin bilophus) is a hummingbird native to Brazil, Bolivia and Suriname. It prefers open habitats such as savanna, grassland and garden, and expanded its range into southern Amazonas and Espírito Santo, probably due to deforestation. It is a small hummingbird with a long tail and a short, black bill. The sexes differ in appearance, with males having two shiny red, golden, and green feather "horns" above the eyes, a shiny blue head crest and a black throat with a pointed "beard". The female is plainer, with a brown or yellow-buff throat. It is a nomadic species, responding to the seasonal flowering of its food plants. If a flower's shape is unsuited to the bird's short bill, it may rob nectar through a hole at its base. It also eats small insects. Only the female builds the small cup nest, incubates the two white eggs, and rears the chicks. The species is currently classified as least concern, and its population is thought to be increasing.

    The Felix M. Warburg House is a mansion at 1109 Fifth Avenue on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in New York City. It was built from 1907 to 1908 for the German-American Jewish financier Felix M. Warburg, in the Châteauesque style, and designed by C. P. H. Gilbert. After Warburg's death in 1937, his widow sold it to a real estate developer. When plans to replace it with luxury apartments fell through, ownership reverted to the Warburgs, who donated it in 1944 to the Jewish Theological Seminary of America. In 1947, the Seminary opened the Jewish Museum in the mansion. The house was named a New York City designated landmark in 1981 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. In 1993, Kevin Roche constructed an annex to the house in Gilbert's style, built with stone from the same quarry that supplied the original mansion. Critical reviews of the original house's architecture have generally been positive while the extension received a mixed reception. (Full article...)

    Oceanic whitetip shark

    A oceanic whitetip shark swimming near a diver

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

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

    Darkness on the Edge of Town

    Bruce Springsteen in 1981
    Bruce Springsteen in 1981

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

    • Coordinator comment While I agree that the Trainor album is the last similar album to run, we do have another record album nomination for June 9. I'm not sure I'm justified in running both. I don't consider the June 9 to have dibs because it got here first. I would welcome comments from the community on which should be run.--Wehwalt (talk) 11:10, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

    • Dank had intended to run Darkness in January 2024 but I asked if it could wait til June, which they said was ok here (for a little background on why I'm nominating it for TFA now). – zmbro (talk) (cont) 18:03, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
    • Support. For what it is worth, I don't see a 1970's rock album and a 2000's rap album to be that much in competition that they could or should not be run in the same month. We have done worse. If it is felt that they should not both appear in the same month - an entirely reasonable view - then to me it is a coin toss as to which to go with. (I realise that this is not very helpful, sorry.) Gog the Mild (talk) 11:31, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

    Planet

    The Solar System
    The Solar System

    A planet is a large, rounded astronomical body that is neither a star nor a stellar remnant. The archetypal examples are eight planets in the Solar System: the four terrestrials Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, and the four giant planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The term was initially used to denote the Sun, the Moon, and the five naked-eye planets that move across the background of the stars: they historically were seen as having associations with the gods. As scientific knowledge advanced, human perception of the planets changed. Copernicus suggested that the planets orbited the Sun and that the Earth was itself a planet, and the development of the telescope led to a broadening of the definition to accommodate other discoveries within and beyond the Solar System. Many extrasolar planets display features unseen in the Solar System. The International Astronomical Union defines a planet in the Solar System to have cleared its neighbourhood of other bodies, and that extrasolar planets should orbit stars and not be large enough to support deuterium fusion; however, many planetary scientists continue to apply the word "planet" more broadly, including dwarf planets, planetary-mass moons, rogue planets, and brown dwarfs.

    • Support as a main editor. With that said, I don't like the proposed lede that much. "Planet" means different things to different groups of scientists, and different ones would argue with you about the clauses about clearing the neighbourhood, orbiting a star, and undergoing thermonuclear fusion. Here's one I like better.

    Death of Kevin Gately

    Conway Hall, where the National Front planned to meet, and which demonstrators blocked the entrance to.

    Kevin Gately died on 15 June 1974 as the result of a head injury received in the Red Lion Square civil disorder in London while protesting against the National Front, a far-right, fascist party. Gately, a 20-year-old student, was not a member of any organisation. On the day, the National Front held a march through central London in support of the expulsion of immigrants. A counter-demonstration was planned by Liberation, an anti-colonial pressure group. When the Liberation march reached Red Lion Square, the International Marxist Group twice charged the police cordon blocking access to Conway Hall (pictured). Police reinforcements forced the demonstrators out of the square. Gately was found unconscious on the ground. He was taken to hospital and died later that day. A public inquiry into the events was conducted by Lord Scarman, who found no evidence that Gately had been killed by the police, but found fault with some police actions. The Labour MP Syd Bidwell described Gately as a martyr against fascism and racism. (Full article...)

    Icelandic horse

    An Icelandic horse performing the tölt

    The Icelandic horse is a breed of horse developed in Iceland. Developed from ponies brought to Iceland by Norse settlers in the 9th and 10th centuries, the breed is mentioned in Icelandic literature and historical records. They are long-lived, hardy, and have few diseases in their native country. In addition to the gaits typical of other horse breeds, many Icelandic horses can also do the tölt (pictured) and the flying pace. The only breed of horse in Iceland, sizable populations exist in Europe and North America. They are used for sheepherding work in Iceland, leisure, showing, and racing. Selective breeding and natural selection with the Icelandic climate developed them into their current form. In the 1780s, much of the breed was killed after a volcanic eruption at Laki. The first breed society for the Icelandic horse was created in Iceland in 1904; the breed is now represented by organizations in 19 nations organized under the International Federation of Icelandic Horse Associations.

    Giraffe

    The giraffe is a large African hoofed mammal belonging to the genus Giraffa. It is known for its extremely long neck and legs, its horn-like ossicones, and its spotted coat patterns. Traditionally, giraffes have been thought of as one species, but more recent evidence has proposed dividing them into multiple species. Giraffes usually inhabit savannahs and woodlands. Their food source is leaves, fruits, and flowers of woody plants, primarily acacia species, which they browse at heights most other herbivores cannot reach. Giraffes live in herds of related females and their offspring or bachelor herds of unrelated adult males, but are gregarious and may gather in large aggregations. Females bear sole responsibility for rearing the young. Giraffes have been featured in paintings, books, and cartoons. Giraffes are assessed as Vulnerable from a conservation perspective by the IUCN. They are found in numerous national parks and game reserves. (Full article...)

    Cyclone Taylor

    Cyclone Taylor (June 23, 1884 – June 9, 1979) was a Canadian professional ice hockey player and civil servant. Born and raised in Southern Ontario, Taylor moved to Houghton, Michigan, and played in the International Hockey League for two years. He then joined the Ottawa Senators, winning the Stanley Cup with the team in his second year. While in Ottawa he began working as an immigration clerk. Two years later signed with the Renfrew Creamery Kings, becoming the highest-paid athlete in the world on a per-game basis. He then played for the Vancouver Millionaires until 1922, where he won five scoring championships and his second Stanley Cup victory with the team. In 1914 Taylor was the first Canadian official to board the Komagata Maru, a major incident relating to Canadian immigration. In 1946 he was named a Member of the Order of the British Empire for his services as an immigration officer and inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1947. (Full article...)

    Parties to the Convention against Torture in dark green, states that have signed the treaty in yellow, and others in gray

    Torture is the deliberate infliction of severe pain or suffering on a person for various reasons, including punishment, extracting a confession, interrogation for information, or intimidating third parties. Some definitions are restricted to acts carried out by the state, but others include non-state organizations. A variety of methods of torture are used, often in combination; the most common form of physical torture is beatings or psychological methods to provide deniability. Most victims of torture are poor and marginalized people suspected of crimes, although torture against political prisoners or during armed conflict has received disproportionate attention. Torture is prohibited under international law for all states under all circumstances and is explicitly forbidden by several treaties. Opposition to torture stimulated the formation of the human rights movement after World War II, and torture continues to be an important human rights issue. (Full article...)

    OneShot

    OneShot is a puzzle-adventure game developed by indie studio Future Cat and published by Degica. Based on a free version released online on June 30, 2014, it was released for Windows on December 8, 2016. A console adaptation, OneShot: World Machine Edition, was released for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on September 22, 2022. OneShot's gameplay and plot break the fourth wall and involve metafictional elements. Many puzzles involve interacting with the computer's operating system outside of the game. Narratively, the player is separate from the protagonist, Niko. The latter arrives in a world without sunlight and aims to restore it by replacing its sun, a lightbulb, at the top of a tower. OneShot was developed in RPG Maker XP. The game received positive reviews from critics, who praised the story, art, and metafictional aspects of gameplay, including the relationship between the player and Niko. In 2017, the game was nominated for the "PC Game of the Year" category at the Golden Joystick Awards. (Full article...)

    This star symbolizes the featured content on Wikipedia.

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

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

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

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

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

    List of Colorado ballot measures

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

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

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

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

    Anthony Davis, the first pick in the draft, in his rookie season for the New Orleans Hornets

    The 2012 NBA draft was held on June 28, 2012, at Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey and broadcast in the United States on ESPN. The New Orleans Hornets won the NBA draft lottery on May 30. For the first time in draft history, the first two players selected were from the same school (Anthony Davis and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist were teammates at Kentucky). It also set a record of having six players from one school (Kentucky) selected and was the first draft to have the first three selections be college freshmen all from the same conference (Southeastern Conference). Bernard James was the oldest player ever drafted, being 27 years old at the time of the draft. Four of the players selected never played in an NBA game. The draft class went on to have six players who participated in an All-Star Game, seven players who combined for 10 championships, as well as having Anthony Davis and Damian Lillard both named to the NBA 75th Anniversary Team in 2021.

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

    List of birds of New Brunswick

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

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

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

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

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

    Nomination steps

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

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

    Purge this page to update the cache

    Headers

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

    Voicing an opinion on an item

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

    Please do...

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

    Please do not...

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

    Suggesting updates

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

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

    • Oppose Merely stating an intention to boycott a particular store doesn't mean it will actually occur on a widespread scale. The most likely outcome is that a handful of people avoid shopping at the company's stores, while life will carry on as normal for everyone else. In the absence of objective proof that the company experiences a sustained (multi-week) significant decline in sales, this is not worthy of a blurb. Chrisclear (talk) 11:08, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

    • Oppose: it's questionable whether the subject even deserves its own article (it could probably be described in a paragraph in the Loblaw Companies article), or whether the boycott will be at all significant (much as we're frustrated by high grocery prices, we still need to eat). --RFBailey (talk) 11:24, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
    • Oppose. I too am surprised we even have an article about the intentions of Reddit users. Even if all 60,000 genuinely stop shopping there for a month, Loblaws will barely notice. If this somehow has major impacts (e.g. bankrupts the chain or causes major social unrest) then I'll be willing to reassess, but so far the impact is zero and likely to remain that way. Is the boycott against Loblaw Companies, as linked in the proposed blurb, or just the Loblaws supermarkets? Modest Genius talk 11:33, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
      I understand the concerns as well as the opposition towards nominating for ITN, but I support this being a standalone article. It's received pretty adequate coverage in the few months leading up to the boycott and it's definitely one of the most established consumer boycott movements directly related to the 2021–2023 inflation surge and in the 2020s overall outside of the American conservative-led Bud Light and Target Pride Month boycotts/backlash movements.

    Recent deaths of any person, animal or organism with a Wikipedia article are always presumed to be important enough to post (see this RFC and further discussion). Comments should focus on whether the quality of the article meets WP:ITNRD.

    The article needs more work but the first guitar hero already has a Legacy section which makes a start at showing his considerable influence. The NYT explains that "Mr. Eddy had tremendous success as a strictly instrumental recording artist in the late 1950s and ’60s, selling millions of records worldwide with growling, echo-laden hits like “Rebel Rouser” and “Forty Miles of Bad Road.” In the process, he played a major role in establishing electric guitar as the predominant musical instrument in rock ’n’ roll. Mr. Eddy influenced a multitude of rock guitarists, including George Harrison, Jimi Hendrix and Bruce Springsteen..." Andrew🐉(talk) 22:33, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

    • Could Andrew possibly explain why he thinks the person is blurb worthy? No number-1 hits anywhere, not a Jimi Hendrix type, the "legacy" section is just some random name-dropping. 217.180.228.138 (talk) 21:30, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

    • Oppose per milionth time: covered by ongoing. And not that ITN-worthy. _-_Alsor (talk) 03:31, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
    • Oppose There have been protests in many countries about the war, we don't need to list it at ITN as soon as they happen in the US. AusLondonder (talk) 03:38, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
    • Oppose I echo the above. What makes a protest in the USA more significant than every other protest all over the world? HiLo48 (talk) 03:55, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
      As an aside, the article does cover protests in other countries too. I would also say that the way the article is structured is poorly done - there are some of these protests that need to be called out in their own section like the UT Austin one, but most of the others just happened without any confrontation, and thus we don't need separate sections on each one - but as it is done now, it is the equivalent of a PROSELINE offense but applied to space and not time. That is, it is nowhere close to our best work. --Masem (t) 04:24, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
    • Oppose, for now Although I would like to note that I disagree with the above statements that something like this could never be notable. There is evidence that this thing is expanding globally to other Universities outside of the United States. If it continues to grow in scale and pace to rival the Vietnam anti-war movement, then we should revisit. FlipandFlopped ツ 02:14, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

    • These actions have become a widespread part of the news and public psyche, especially in America - from being half the talks of Congress to being constantly in the news everywhere... Amyipdev (talk) 06:01, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
      Nor does that imply cultural significance or that it has to be ITN-worthy. It happens, it is reported in the news and that's it, like so many things. This is not a ticket news. _-_Alsor (talk) 07:00, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
    • Support the only change I would make is that if there becomes a generalized article on the student intifada instead of a US-specific one, it should be changed to that. I wouldn't say that Israel–Hamas war protests is the correct one to put here, to be clear.
    As for blurb versus ongoing, I'm fine with either. I understand the concerns about doing a blurb and to be honest mostly agree with them, despite my belief that it's a significant enough event to deserve a blurb. I think what's more important is that it gets in ITN at all as soon as possible, and if putting it in ongoing is the way to do that, then I'd recommend that. Amyipdev (talk) 03:48, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
    I'd also note that if any universities go Kent/Jackson State that such needs to get on ITN immediately. Amyipdev (talk) 03:52, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
    What? And totally ignore those outside the USA? HiLo48 (talk) 07:16, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
    As unlikely as it is, if any universities outside the US go Kent, that would necessitate the same response. Amyipdev (talk) 13:03, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
    That feels like an unnecessary bit of speculation, to put it mildly. Such an event would be its own story, but as yet (and hopefully throughout) no such thing has happened. GenevieveDEon (talk) 10:33, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
