Today's featured article for May 25, 2024
Kevin De Bruyne, the game's man of the match. The 2019 FA Cup final was an association football match between Manchester City and Watford for the 138th FA Cup final. In the 21st minute, Abdoulaye Doucouré's shot struck Vincent Kompany's arm; the referee declined to award a penalty and showed Doucouré the first yellow card of the game for his protests. David Silva scored the first goal from a header and Gabriel Jesus side-footed the ball for the second goal. At 61 minutes City extended their lead with a goal from substitute Kevin De Bruyne (pictured), and seven minutes later, Jesus scored on the counter-attack. Sterling scored twice at the 81st and the 87th minutes and the match ended 6–0 to Manchester City. De Bruyne was named man of the match. It was only the third time that a team has scored six goals in an FA Cup final and the margin of victory is the joint-largest in an FA Cup final. The win completed a domestic treble for Manchester City, who already won the League Cup and the Premier League that season. (Full article...)

This could have been a good candidate, but [Cultural Revolution] carries {cleanup} and [DaZiBao] is a stub.

Another candidate:

Towel Day

Could we please add a reference to it? I would do it myself, but I'm not sure it's ok... So better to be safe than sorry :P makeyourself 05:36, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Yes, please do. Volland 07:54, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

I had added it, but it was removed tonight because of the three-holiday limit and the fact that the article towel day is bad. --User:Krator (t c) 08:24, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Awww.... well, I guess I'll go ahead and try to improve it with some pictures and references, and hope it appears next year. (so long and) Thanks (for all the fish)! makeyourself 08:25, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Bad news always travels the fastest, I'm afraid. Next year indeed. --User:Krator (t c) 08:32, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

You might want to address the concerns that have been posted at Talk:Towel Day#Notability too. Thanks. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 18:40, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

May Revolution

I suggest changing the image for File:Revolución de Mayo.jpg. Being a bicentennial, it's clearly more notable (at least this year) than the one used. MBelgrano (talk) 20:22, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

File:Revolución de Mayo.jpg

File:Revolución de Mayo.jpg

It's hard to tell exactly what is going on there when the image is displayed on a thumbnail scale on high-resolution, wide-screen monitors. Otherwise, it looks like a non-descriptive building. Do you have a suggestion as to what to add to the normal (pictured) caption in the text? Zzyzx11 (talk) 20:40, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

File:Cabildo abierto.jpg

It's a great idea, since its 200 years from the May Revolution, the most important national festivity on Argentina (through not independence per sé), and its comparable to the 4 or July in the United States. However, I believe that in thumbnail size a picture of the Cabildo Abierto, through less descriptive as Zzyzx11, would be better for this template. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 186.136.46.59 (talk) 23:13, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

In 2014 it was still included. 91.3.242.159 (talk) 16:18, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

There is a section that is flagged for not having enough references, which makes it ineligible for inclusion. —howcheng {chat} 16:35, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
