Today's featured article for June 11, 2024
Official 1981 portrait Ronald Reagan (1911–2004) was an American politician and actor who served as the 40th president of the United States from 1981 to 1989. Reagan graduated from Eureka College in 1932 and began to work as a sports broadcaster in Iowa. In 1937, he moved to California, and became a well-known film actor there. From 1947 to 1952, and from 1959 to 1960, Reagan served as the president of the Screen Actors Guild. He was defeated in his run for the Republican presidential nomination in 1968 as well as 1976, but won both the nomination and election in 1980. As president, Reagan implemented new political initiatives as well as economic policies, advocating a laissez-faire philosophy, but the extent to which these ideas were implemented is debatable. The policies, dubbed "Reaganomics," included substantial tax cuts implemented in 1981. (Full article...) Recently featured: Marasmius rotula The Ecstatic Bill Newton

2022 notes

I'd like to suggest that the text for the release of E.T. be changed slightly - right now it says "Steven Spielberg's E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, considered one of the greatest films ever made", which I feel is uncomfortable close to WP:WEASEL, certainly closer than anything on the Main Page should be. I'm sure we can find a more factual descriptition of the film. 188.108.178.58 (talk) 07:26, 11 June 2022 (UTC)

 Done. Considering it's not even listed in List of films considered the best, I'd say that's a good enough by itself not to describe the film in that manner. —howcheng {chat} 07:02, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
