Why was this TFA featured twice?
[edit]24th Waffen Mountain Division of the SS Karstjäger was featured 8 years ago and with an average of 1 TFA a day that means ~3000 Featured Articles were shown on home page in this time range. As of today we have around 6,000 Featured Articles. Do you know how many other articles were TFA'd multiple times and or not shown at all? I imagine this has been discussed before, so would be happy to read prior discussions about this too. Thank you all for the work you do! ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 02:27, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
- Shushugah There is a list of FAs that have never been on the main page at WP:FAMP. It currently has 714 listed, although this includes large clusters in topics such as soccer/association football and military ships that will have to be spaced out every so often to avoid having the same topic matter on the main page too often. WP:FASTATS shows FA promotions/demotions by year; we haven't had 365 new FAs promoted in a year since 2013 according to that. It's standard practice to have a few reruns that were last on the main page 5 years or more ago several times a month. Hog Farm Talk 02:36, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
I know use of "America" to mean the United States is somewhat common in Britain, but it is inaccurate and dated. From the blurb for today's featured article: "intended to halt the increasing importation of racehorses of possibly impure bloodlines from America". Should it not say United States instead?

Sabbatical
[edit]I've got a lot going on, and I'll be taking a sabbatical from scheduling for now ... SchroCat did October and will be doing January. Play nice, y'all. As always, feel free to ping me on (or go ahead and edit) any blurbs I do in the meantime. - Dank (push to talk) 03:47, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
