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. |

There have been fourteen different home grounds of Hampshire County Cricket Club since its establishment in August 1863. The club has played first-class, List A one-day, and Twenty20 matches at various venues across the historic extent of Hampshire. Unlike most professional sports, where a team usually has a single fixed home ground, county cricket clubs have traditionally used different home grounds in various towns and cities for home matches. However, minor "outgrounds" have diminished since the 1980s. The Antelope Ground in Southampton hosted Hampshire's inaugural home first-class match in 1864, while the County Ground hosted the most home matches in first-class and one-day cricket when it was used as Hampshire's headquarters between 1885 and 2000. Hampshire's current headquarters, since 2001, have been at the Rose Bowl (pictured) in West End. (Full list...)

Gu Yanwu was a 17th-century Chinese scholar, active during the transition from the Ming dynasty to the Qing dynasty. Following the Manchu conquest, Gu destroyed his prior poetry and took to wandering across northern China, where he collected large amounts of historical documents and local gazetteers (geographic directories). He wrote many books, essays, and poems during his travels. Only two of Gu's works, the Yinxue wushu and the first edition of the Rizhilu, were published during his lifetime. Many of his works were lost after his death, while others survived only as manuscripts and never saw proper publication. Several existing manuscripts which collected his letters, essays, and poems were included in the Gu Tinglin shiwenji (顧亭林詩文集; 'Collected Poetry and Prose of Gu Tenglin'), published by Zhonghua Books in 1959.

American singer-songwriter SZA co-writes almost all of her songs with their respective producers. For many of them, she is the only lyricist. SZA's earliest works are built around psychedelic and lo-fi instrumentals, all of which were self-uploaded on the streaming platform SoundCloud. Her debut studio album, Ctrl (2017), is categorized mainly as contemporary R&B. SZA wanted to demonstrate her versatility beyond the genre with her second studio album SOS (2022), which features rap, rock, and pop songs. In 2024, SZA released the reissue of SOS titled Lana; it consists of new music alongside tracks scrapped from SOS. Outside of her albums and extended plays, SZA has appeared on dozens of songs by other musicians like Kendrick Lamar, Isaiah Rashad, and Doja Cat. Her unreleased music includes several album outtakes and scrapped verses, many of which have leaked online. (This list is part of a featured topic: Overview of SZA.)
