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

Picture of the day
. Should this ever happen, a detailed explanation will be given.

Tom Cruise filmography

Golden Globe Award nomination. In 1986, Cruise played a fighter pilot in Tony Scott's Top Gun, which was the highest grossing film of that year; he returned to the role in Top Gun: Maverick (2022). He portrayed anti-war activist Ron Kovic in Born on the Fourth of the July (1989), for which he received his first Golden Globe Award. Three years later, he appeared with Jack Nicholson in the legal drama A Few Good Men (1992). In 1996, Cruise starred as Ethan Hunt in Mission: Impossible, the first film from his production company Cruise/Wagner Productions; he has appeared in six sequel films to date, most recently Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One (2023). He earned his second and third Golden Globes for the title role in Cameron Crowe's Jerry Maguire (1996) and the Paul Thomas Anderson-directed drama Magnolia (1999). (Full list...

I'd suggest June 26 to coincide with the release of Top Gun: Maverick. Cowlibob (talk) 20:30, 19 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Just as a note, Top Gun: Maverick is now scheduled for a December 23, 2020 release date. --Ahecht (TALK

Now it is May 27, 2022.
--Birdienest81talk 09:04, 19 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A general comment regarding this list: The blurb fails to cover the last 20 years of Cruise's career, which doesn't make sense. In my opinion, the blurb should be reworked to summarize the entire list if this is to be used at TFL. RunningTiger123 (talk) 18:07, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

So... since the original idea was to run this with the release of Top Gun: Maverick, which isn't an option anymore, should we just run this list when convenient? RunningTiger123 (talk) 01:56, 21 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not involved with this one at all but what about Friday July 14, release date of Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One? —⁠Collint c 00:58, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Also not involved, but to help move this 4-year old nomination on seeing as it missed July 14, 2023, I'm going to suggest May 16, 2024 (Friday May 17 being the closest TFL date), to coincide with the U.S. release date of Top Gun in 1986. Idiosincrático (talk) 05:50, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I also support May 16, 2024 (it's been here longer than I've been editing... I'll miss it but it's past time to move this TFL nom along). RunningTiger123 (talk) 02:41, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@RunningTiger123: ... 4+ years? do we not time things out? theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 07:41, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support putting this up as TFL on May 17 because it's really quite ridiculous that this nomination has been sitting for so long. Dylan620 (he/him • talk • edits) 22:56, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

List of Colorado ballot measures

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 (talk) 20:46, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@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!

I would suggest 25 August 2024 for 20 years of The Bassmachine release. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eurohunter (talk • contribs) 12:45, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Note that 25 August is a Sunday; this could be run on 23 August (Friday) or 26 August (Monday). RunningTiger123 (talk) 20:33, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Eurohunter: pinging for previous comment. RunningTiger123 (talk) 20:50, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@RunningTiger123: I think 26 August (Monday) would be a good time. Eurohunter (talk) 18:51, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

2012 NBA draft

New Orleans Hornets

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.

Would suggest for June 28, 2024 to coincide with the 12th anniversary of the draft. -- ZooBlazer 02:02, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
