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. |

From the previous featured list (Friday, July 31)
Colorado has sent congressional delegations to the United States Senate and the United States House of Representatives since it became a U.S. state in 1876, beginning with the 44th United States Congress. Before becoming a state, the Colorado Territory sent non-voting delegates to the House of Representatives from 1861 to 1876. Prior to the ratification of the Seventeenth Amendment to the United States Constitution in 1913, senators were elected by the Colorado General Assembly. Today, voters in Colorado elect two members of the Senate to six-year terms and, since the 2020 United States census, eight members of the House to two-year terms, one for each of Colorado's congressional districts (map pictured). As of April 2026, 83 people have served Colorado in the House and 37 have served Colorado in the Senate. (Full list...)

The Nebula Award for Best Novel is given each year by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association (SFWA) for science fiction or fantasy novels. The award has been given annually since 1966 and has been described as one of "the most important of the American science fiction awards" and "the science-fiction and fantasy equivalent" of the Emmy Awards. During the 61 nomination years, 209 authors have had works nominated, and 48 of these have won (including co-authors and ties). Ursula K. Le Guin has received the most Nebula Awards for Best Novel, with four wins out of six nominations. Joe Haldeman has received the next most: three awards out of four nominations, while nine other authors have each won twice. Jack McDevitt has the most nominations at twelve (with one win), while Poul Anderson and Philip K. Dick tie for having the most nominations without winning an award, at five each. (This list is part of a featured topic: Nebula Award.)
