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 source]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 source]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 source]The 20/20 Experience
[edit source]The 20/20 Experience is the third studio album by American singer Justin Timberlake. It was released on March 15, 2013, through RCA Records, as the follow-up to his second studio album, FutureSex/LoveSounds (2006). An R&B and neo soul album with elements of soul music, its lyrics discuss romance and sex. Production was handled by Timbaland, Timberlake—who was also the executive producer—and Jerome "J-Roc" Harmon, with Rob Knox contributing to the album's deluxe edition. The 20/20 Experience is considered to be the first half of a project, and in September 2013, it was supplemented by Timberlake's fourth studio album, The 20/20 Experience – 2 of 2.
For my second good topic, I present The 20/20 Experience, Justin Timberlake's third studio album. Supported by three singles, the album was met with generally positive reviews from music critics and peaked atop 13 national album charts. I would also like to thank the GA reviewers @Vestrian24Bio: (x2), @Camilasdandelions: (x2), @EF5:, @Arconning:, and the other reviewers that now seem to be inactive.

The Vandalic War (533–534) was fought in North Africa between the Byzantine Empire and the Vandal Kingdom, marking the first campaign of Emperor Justinian I's effort to restore former Western Roman territories. The Vandals had conquered North Africa in the early 5th century and built a kingdom under King Geiseric. After Geiseric's death, relations with the Byzantine Empire improved but remained strained due to religious differences and Vandal persecution of Nicene Christians. In 530, the Vandal king Gelimer seized power by overthrowing the pro-Byzantine Hilderic. Justinian used the coup as a pretext for war. After securing peace with Persia, he sent an army led by Belisarius, at a time when the Vandals were preoccupied with rebellions in Sardinia and Tripolitania. Belisarius landed in North Africa in September 533 and defeated the Vandals at the Battle of Ad Decimum, capturing Carthage soon after. The Vandals regrouped but they were defeated at the Battle of Tricamarum in December. Gelimer fled to the mountains, but he surrendered in early 534, marking the end of the Vandal kingdom. Belisarius returned to Constantinople with Gelimer and the Vandal royal treasury, celebrating a triumph. North Africa was restored to Byzantine rule as the Praetorian Prefecture of Africa.
This is my first GT nomination. The parent article became GA in 2013 by Cplakidas (not active), but the other two were recently improved and became GA. I also made some cleanups to the parent article (mostly copy edits, converted the citations to the sfn template, included a missing source, added a relevant figure). I also reorganized the Category:Vandalic War by separating the battles from the people involved. I will be happy to address any concerns. I would also like to thank the GA reviewers @Vestrian24Bio and Simongraham:.
- Support as GA reviewer. Vestrian24Bio 06:25, 27 July 2026 (UTC)

Open water swimming at the 2025 World Aquatics Championships
[edit source]The open water swimming events at the 2025 World Aquatics Championships in Singapore were held from 16 to 20 July 2025 at Sentosa Island. The programme consisted of seven events, including three for men, three for women, and one mixed event. Germany's Florian Wellbrock won all four gold medals available to him in the open water events; it was the first time this had ever been achieved at the World Aquatics Championships. Australia's Moesha Johnson also won a medal in all the individual events available to her, including winning gold in the women's 10 km and 5 km.
A neat good topic thematic for the lovely hot weather for open water swimming here in the UK! Thank you to my GA reviewers @DaniloDaysOfOurLives (for all three reviews!), @Arconning, @Canary757, and @Zzz plant. IAWW (talk) 15:40, 3 July 2026 (UTC)
- Strong support Having reviewed several of them, I know they are all strong quality and deserve to be a good topic! DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 07:59, 6 July 2026 (UTC)

An Evening with Silk Sonic
[edit source]
An Evening with Silk Sonic is the debut studio album recorded by American musical superduo composed of musicians Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak. The album was received widespread acclaim from music critics and at the 2022 Grammy Awards it won four Grammy Awards, including Record of the Year and Song of the Year for "Leave the Door Open". Several publications listed the album as one of the best records of the year and Billboard named it the seventh-best album of 2021. A special thanks to the reviewers @Kyle Peake: @Cherrell410: @Locust member: and @IanTEB:. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 23:39, 14 July 2026 (UTC)
- IMO Silk Sonic shouldn't be part of this topic, as generally the artist releasing an album isn't part of the topic about the album itself. Regards, Armbrust The Homunculus 05:13, 9 July 2026 (UTC)

Randy Orton was demoted on 20 May 2026, there is no effort to change that, and without it the topic fails criterion 3.b. (Additionally The Legacy (professional wrestling) was delisted a week later.) Regards, Armbrust The Homunculus 05:29, 12 July 2026 (UTC)

Kanye West studio albums
[edit source]
Bully was released on March 28, and with its corresponding article never receiving a GAN prior to the expiration of the retention period on June 28, this topic fails criterion 3.b. JHD0919 (talk) 14:00, 2 July 2026 (UTC)
Delist per nomination. I know Kyle Peak it the promoter of most of this GA's and he might be able to promote it back when the time is right.MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 17:06, 5 July 2026 (UTC)- Comment I don't think I'd be allowed to vote on this list as a contributor to majority of these albums, however I don't think calling for demotion is suitable here. This is because while the retention period has been reached, myself and other editors have been working on Bully as you can see a record of on my talk page. --K. Peake 18:07, 6 July 2026 (UTC)
- Judging from the talk page it appears that @RTSthestardust and @Wackistan have also been working on the article. Paging them both here for their thoughts. JHD0919 (talk) 18:14, 6 July 2026 (UTC)
- Hi, I would say to leave it for a bit since we're nearly done. Once the composition section is rewritten I'll submit it for GA. Wackistan (talk) 23:19, 6 July 2026 (UTC)

- I had been focused on other projects at this time, but I might continue working on it tonight. It's a difficult article to go through. Once I'm done with the composition section, I'll merge it in with the whole article. - RTSthestardust (talk) 00:01, 25 July 2026 (UTC)
- I finished and finally stitched the composition section with the latest revision prior to that edit RTSthestardust (talk) 03:56, 25 July 2026 (UTC)
- @Wackistan @Kyle Peake @JHD0919 I've been improving it further with illustrating the article and especially from the composition section. I wouldn't really nominate it yet until these things are finished: citation cleaning (like linking the websites on citations), working on personnel/what streaming service to credit, and info about the tour/concerts being more concise and less messy. RTSthestardust (talk) 03:56, 26 July 2026 (UTC)
- For streaming services to credit, I'd suggest using maybe Spotify? It's the only one Gamma prioritizes updating the credits on (for example, Al Be Back's writing credit on "Damn" wasn't added to Apple, as was Glen 'Divinci' Valencia Jr.'s credit on "I Can't Wait". Wackistan (talk) 05:30, 26 July 2026 (UTC)
