Today's featured list submissions

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

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

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

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

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

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

List of Colorado ballot measures[edit]

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)[reply]

@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: 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!

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

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

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

United States congressional delegations from Connecticut[edit]

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

The Marvel Cinematic Universe logo
The Marvel Cinematic Universe logo

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

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