Wikipedia:Today's featured list
|
Today's featured list  Today's featured list is a section included on the Main Page on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, in which an introduction to one of Wikipedia's featured lists is displayed. See this month's queue. The lists appearing on the Main Page are scheduled by the featured list director, currently Giants2008. To be eligible to appear on the Main Page, a list must already be featured. For more information on the featured list promotion process, please see the featured list candidates, as well as the featured list criteria. In addition, a blurb is drafted, introducing the subject of the list. Blurbs are roughly 1,000 characters in length, with no reference tags, alternate names or extraneous boldface type, although a link to the specified featured list should be emboldened; a relevant picture is also usually included with the blurb. The previous three lists that were featured on the Main Page appear along the bottom, in reverse chronological order. You can submit a list to be scheduled at the submissions page. At the moment, lists are scheduled by the featured list director or by the featured list delegates, although we will eventually be devising a community-based system for selecting each day's list. We encourage editors to submit and to review as many blurbs as possible. If you notice a problem with an upcoming featured list to appear on the Main Page, please leave a message at the Main Page errors page or on the TFL talk page. Find out more on how to get involved. |

The Vegas Golden Knights of the National Hockey League have completed nine seasons as of the 2025–26 season. Noted for their early success as a franchise, the Golden Knights have qualified for the Stanley Cup playoffs eight times in their nine completed seasons, with five Pacific Division championships, three Stanley Cup Final appearances, and a Stanley Cup championship in 2023. During their inaugural season in 2017–18, the franchise broke the NHL records for most wins and points in an inaugural season and became the first franchise since the 1967–68 St. Louis Blues to reach the Finals in their inaugural season; however, they ultimately lost the 2018 Stanley Cup Final to the Washington Capitals in five games. The Golden Knights later returned to the Finals in 2023, defeating the Florida Panthers in five games to win their first Stanley Cup. They returned again in 2026, losing to the Carolina Hurricanes in six games. (Full list...)

Events leading to the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union (known as Brexit) began on 23 January 2013, when British prime minister David Cameron delivered a speech promising an in–out referendum on the UK's membership of the EU. The Brexit referendum was held on 23 June 2016, with 51.89 per cent voting for Britain to leave. Cameron announced his resignation as prime minister the next day (pictured), with Theresa May succeeding him on 13 July. Brexit negotiations between the UK and the EU began in June 2017, with May putting her withdrawal agreement to Parliament in January 2019. Votes on the deal resulted in large defeats for May, who announced her resignation on 24 July. A Conservative Party leadership contest was won by Boris Johnson, who called for a general election on 12 December. Johnson won a majority at the election, and his withdrawal agreement was then voted through Parliament. The UK subsequently withdrew from the EU at 23:00 GMT on 31 January 2020. The broad consensus of economists is that Brexit has had a substantially negative effect on the UK's economy, which is expected to be several percentage points smaller than it would have been if the UK had remained in the EU.

In 1943, Billboard magazine published a chart ranking the "most popular records in Harlem" under the title of the Harlem Hit Parade. Placings were based on a survey of record stores primarily in the Harlem district of New York City, an area noted for its African American population which has been called the "black capital of America". Most of 1943's number ones were in the jazz and swing genres, which were among the most popular styles of music in the early 1940s. The year's longest-running chart-topper was "Don't Cry Baby" by Erskine Hawkins (pictured) and his Orchestra, which spent a total of 14 non-consecutive weeks atop the chart between August and December. Two acts each achieved the feat of topping the chart with three different songs. Lucky Millinder and his Orchestra topped the listing with "When the Lights Go On Again", "Apollo Jump" and "Sweet Slumber", which was the final number one of 1943. Duke Ellington and his Famous Orchestra reached the top spot with "Don't Get Around Much Anymore", "A Slip of the Lip (Can Sink a Ship)" and "Sentimental Lady". (Full list...)
