Wikipedia:Featured and good topic candidates
|
Featured and good topics in Wikipedia   A featured topic (FT) is a collection of inter-related articles in which at least half are featured articles or featured lists. The remaining articles must be at least good quality. A good topic (GT) is a collection of inter-related articles that are of a good quality (though are not necessarily featured articles) with a less stringent quality threshold than a featured topic. This page is for the nomination of potential featured and good topics. See the featured and good topic criteria for criteria on both types of topic. Before nominating a topic, nominators may wish to receive feedback by listing it at the Featured and good topics talk page. Nominators must be sufficiently familiar with the subject matter and sources to deal with objections during the FTC/GTC process. If you nominate something you have worked on, note it as a self-nomination. Nominators who are not significant contributors to the articles of the topic should consult regular editors of the articles prior to nomination. Nominators are expected to respond positively to constructive criticism and to make an effort to address objections promptly. The featured and good topics coordinators Aza24, MaranoFan and Kyle Peake determine the timing of the process for each nomination. For a nomination to be promoted to FT or GT status, consensus must be reached for a group to be promoted to featured or good topic status. If enough time passes without objections being resolved, nominations will be removed from the candidates topic and archived. To contact the FGTC coordinators, please leave a message on the FGTC talk page, or use the {{@FGTC}} notification template elsewhere. You may want to check previous archived nominations first: |

Nomination procedure[edit]To create a new nomination use the form below (e.g., Wikipedia:Featured and good topic candidates/Saffron/archive1) and click the "Create new nomination" button. Once the nomination page is created, remember to transclude it in the appropriate section below, to leave nomination templates on the talk pages of the articles nominated for the topic. For detailed instructions on how to nominate topics or add articles to existing topics, see Wikipedia:Featured and good topic candidates/Nomination procedure. Supporting and objecting[edit]Please review all the articles of the nominated topic with the featured and good topic criteria in mind before deciding to support or oppose a nomination.
For a topic to be promoted to featured or good topic status, consensus must be reached that it meets the criteria. The FGTC coordinators are usually the ones to assess this consensus and close FGTC discussions. If there is a consensus to promote, the promote instructions are located here. If enough time passes without objections being resolved (at least one week), nominations will be removed from the candidates list and archived. Nominations will stay here for ten days if there is unanimous consent, or longer if warranted by debate. | |

[edit]The Scottish invasion of England started near Carlisle on 8 July 1648. The First English Civil War between Royalist supporters of Charles I and an alliance of Parliamentarian and Scottish forces had ended in 1646 with Charles defeated and imprisoned. The Second English Civil War took place in 1648, beginning with a series of mutinies and Royalist uprisings in England and Wales. The Scots raised an army under the command of James Hamilton, Duke of Hamilton, which marched south to support Charles and the uprisings. It combined with English Royalists and continued along the west coast road some 24,000 strong. Oliver Cromwell concentrated 9,000 Parliamentarians in north Yorkshire and fell on the flank of the much larger Royalist army on 17 August. The Royalists proved no match for the well-trained veterans of the New Model Army and at the battle of Preston Hamilton's army was broken and the survivors, nearly all Scottish, driven south. Two days later, hungry, cold, soaking wet, exhausted and short of dry powder they turned to fight at the battle of Winwick. They were beaten again and all of the surviving Scots surrendered: their infantry the same day, their cavalry on 24 August at Uttoxeter. Winwick was the final battle of the war. In its aftermath Charles was beheaded on 30 January 1649 and England became a republic on 19 May.

I think this is a straight forward nomination for FT. It has not previously been a GT. A GA on a military campaign and two FAs on the two main military clashes it led to; which in this case ensured the invaders' complete defeat. Similar to my previous FTs Wikipedia:Featured topics/Gascon campaign of 1345 and Wikipedia:Featured topics/Crécy campaign. Gog the Mild (talk) 13:52, 3 June 2025 (UTC)

[edit]The emperors of the Ming dynasty ruled over China proper from 1368 to 1644 during the late imperial era of China (960–1912). Members of the Ming dynasty continued to rule a series of rump states in southern China, commonly known as the Southern Ming, until 1662; the Ming dynasty succeeded the Mongol-led Yuan dynasty and preceded the Manchu-led Qing dynasty. The Ming dynasty was founded by the peasant rebel leader Zhu Yuanzhang, known as the Hongwu Emperor. All Ming emperors were of the House of Zhu. The longest-reigning emperor of the dynasty was the Wanli Emperor (r. 1572–1620), who ruled for 48 years; the shortest was his successor, the Taichang Emperor, who ruled for only 29 days in 1620.

Of the 16 Ming emperors, 10 have GA-status articles, 4 are awaiting review, 2 are scheduled for rewriting, and the list article has achieved FL. --Min968 (talk) 04:46, 1 June 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose - It would be best to wait for those remaining 6 articles to recieve GA status before a good topic is proposed. Per 1d of the requirments, every article in the set (in this case, every Emperor notable enough to warrent an article) should have been awarded either GA or FA. GGOTCC 06:38, 1 June 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose, I think the others should be GAs. History6042😊 (Contact me) 01:23, 3 June 2025 (UTC)

The American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift began re-recording her first six studio albums in 2020, as a response to the 2019 masters dispute regarding the ownership of her album masters. By re-recording them, Swift had full licensing authority of her songs for commercial use. Between 2021–2023, she released four re-recorded albums, which all have the extended Taylor's Version moniker—Fearless (Taylor's Version) (2021), Red (Taylor's Version) (2021), Speak Now (Taylor's Version) (2023), 1989 (Taylor's Version) (2023)—and feature several unreleased "From the Vault" tracks.

The Java class was a series of light cruisers operated by the Royal Netherlands Navy during the Interwar period and World War II. Designed to defend the Dutch East Indies against the Empire of Japan, the cruisers were designed in 1916 to be the best in the world. However, a series of issues due to World War I, supply chain issues, worker strikes, instability in Germany, and a change in national policy delayed the ships for more than a decade. Of the three ships planned, one was canceled during a construction pause. By the time the remaining two ships were launched in the mid 1920s, their design was outdated and little work was done to address the issue. Both ships saw action during World War II. HNLMS Sumatra was in the Netherlands when the country was invaded by Germany in 1940, and the cruiser fled to the United Kingdom. Under British control, she sailed around the world, was disarmed, and sunk as a breakwater off Normandy. HNLMS Java was in the East Indies when the Pacific War began in 1941, and joined Allied efforts in attempting to repulse several Japanese invasions. During the Battle of the Java Sea, she was torpedoed and promptly sunk.

Both ships of the class, and the class article itself, are rated as GA and contains information about the history of each ship and the specific situation that lead to the creation of the ships. While three ships were planned, Celebes was canceled before she laid down and as such does not meet the notability requirment laid out by Wikiproject:Ships.

- @GGOTCC: Yeah I totally can since there three articles that would be nominated for Victorious 2.0: More Music from the Hit TV Show. The thing is, do I have to make "Don't You (Forget About Me)" a GA article? I don't know since it is a cover. Shoot for the Stars (talk) 00:50, 27 May 2025 (UTC)
- I know nothing about music, so whatever makes sense to you. You could make a template with all of the music articles from the show to see what works, or ask the folks over on the talk page. GGOTCC 01:11, 27 May 2025 (UTC)

Contains the articles Apatosaurus, Brontosaurus, Amphicoelias, and Apatosaurinae. Nominating as it meets the criteria as all of its contingent articles and the Apatosaurinae article itself is a good article.
