    Wreck of the ship George Roper, Point Lonsdale (1883) by Fred Kruger — restored by Adam Cuerden, promoted to FP in January 2024.

    This Signpost "Featured content" report covers material promoted from October 2023 through May 2024. Quotes are generally from the articles, but may be abridged or simplified for length.

    It has been quite some time since we've last had a featured content segment, huh? The backlog has grown so great that, in the interest of giving things their proper respect, we've decided to separate the FAs from the other forms of featured content. Here is a full list of newly promoted FAs, starting from when our last Featured Content column left off (in that case, at the end of October!)


    135 featured articles were promoted during this period. Enjoy the list, and pay no heed to the ordering or any musical accompaniments you might hear.

    I did, until I got derailed pondering whether Running Out of Time (song) would actually fit the meter better if it included the "(song)" at the end of the article title. FeRDNYC (talk) 05:22, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Yeah me too lol ―Howard🌽33 14:58, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Bravo! An ingenious and entertaining solution to a long list of excellent articles. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 18:40, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Reminds me a lot of We Didn’t Start The Fire, now I got that song stuck in my head. West Virginia WXeditor (talk) 20:24, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Great song though one question. Will the Fls and FPs be named? Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 00:28, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Image description for Wreck of the ship George Roper, Point Lonsdale (1883)

    This image description on Wiki-Commons for

    English: Wreck of the ship George Roper, Point Lonsdale (1883) by Fred Kruger. According to the website The History of Queenscliffe, the people seen are the family of G C Robinson. (emphasis added) may be incorrect or misleading.
    The central foreground tableaux reads as posed group containing a policeman or Bobby whose baton, in his left hand, blurred by motion, is in mid-stroke, about to land on a man with a large pack or sack on his back. The image description ought either to acknowledge the nature of the foreground material or to replace the full image with the cropped image.

    It would be shame to lose the whole of this striking historical photograph. Changing the Commons image description would be my first choice.
