Today's featured article for June 4, 2024
550 Madison Avenue is a postmodern skyscraper on Madison Avenue between 55th and 56th Streets in New York City. Designed by Philip Johnson and John Burgee with associate architect Simmons Architects, the building was completed in 1984. It is a 647-foot-tall (197-meter), 37-story office tower with a facade made of pink granite. It was originally the headquarters of AT&T Corp., which relocated from 195 Broadway, the company's previous headquarters. Following the breakup of the Bell System in 1982, AT&T spun off subsidiary corporations and never occupied the entire building as it had originally intended. The building later became the American headquarters of Sony. An annex to the west was demolished and replaced in the early 2020s. Opinion of the building has been mixed ever since its design was first announced in March 1978. The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission designated the building's exterior as a landmark in 2018. (Full article...)

Independence Day in Tonga (1970) ?

I wonder if it's called Independence Day in Tonga. Culture of Tonga has "Emancipation Day" instead, but Emancipation Day makes no mention of Tonga. --199.71.174.100 05:59, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Tank Man

For a change of pace, I'd prefer to feature the famous Tank Man this year on June 5. Which means I've hidden Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 on this page so it does not appear on consecutive days. Thanks. Zzyzx11 (talk) 05:51, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

Suggestion

I propose the following blurb:

• 1982: Four Iranian diplomats were kidnapped in Lebanon after they were stopped at a check point in northern Lebanon by Lebanese Phalange forces. None of them have been seen since.

This has never appeared on the main page. --Mhhossein (talk) 06:50, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

• @Howcheng: This is the 35th anniversary of diplomats kidnapping. --Mhhossein ^talk 13:06, 3 June 2017 (UTC)

"1989 – The People's Liberation Army responded to Tiananmen Square protests in Beijing, leaving many dead and wounded."
