Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/August 18, 2005
Latest comment: 18 years ago by Zantastik
I hereby nominate the excellent Economy of Africa for display on the main page, and for the following reasons:
- The topic is important, and this is probably one of the best encyclopedia articles on it.
- Good graphics
- It meets all established criteria for display as today's featured article
- It shows Wikipedia in a good light -- a serious article on a serious topic (I'm all for celeb articles, but still)
