This star symbolizes the featured content on Wiki English.

Today's featured list is a section included on the Main Page on Mondays and on Fridays, in which an introduction to one of Wikipedia's featured lists is displayed. The current month's queue can be found here. 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 here.

Further suggestions on how you can participate can be found here.

Launch of Viking 9, 15 December 1952
Launch of Viking 9, 15 December 1952

1952 in spaceflight featured several branches of the United States' military, often in partnership with civilian organizations, continuing their programs of sounding rocket research beyond the 100-kilometre (62-mile) boundary of space (as defined by the World Air Sports Federation) using the Aerobee rocket. The University of Iowa launched its first series of rockoon flights, demonstrating the validity of the balloon-launched rocket, a comparatively inexpensive way to explore the upper atmosphere. The launch of Viking 9 (pictured) at the end of the year to an altitude of 135 miles (217 kilometres), by the Naval Research Laboratory team under the management of Milton Rosen, represented the pinnacle of contemporary operational rocket design. The same year, groundwork was laid for the launch of the first artificial satellite when, in October, the General Assembly of the International Council of Scientific Unions (ICSU) scheduled the International Geophysical Year for 1957–58.

Geoff Petrie

From 1970 to 2023, 279 players have been selected by the Portland Trail Blazers, an American professional basketball team in the National Basketball Association (NBA) based in Portland, Oregon. The franchise was founded in the 1970–71 NBA season and made their first draft pick in the 1970 NBA draft. Portland has held the first overall pick four times, selecting LaRue Martin in 1972, Bill Walton in 1974, Mychal Thompson in 1978, and Greg Oden in 2007. Three players drafted by Portland won the Rookie of the Year Award; Geoff Petrie (pictured), the franchise's first ever draft pick won in 1971, Sidney Wicks in 1972, and Damian Lillard in 2013. Four drafted players have been elected to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame: Walton, Dražen Petrović, Clyde Drexler, and Arvydas Sabonis, while nine have had their jersey number retired by the team. Walton and Drexler were named to the NBA 50th and 75th anniversary teams in 1996 and 2021, respectively, while Lillard was named to the 75th anniversary team. (Full list...)
