Etika for June?
editDesmond Amofah, known as Etika, was recently promoted. As a special request, I would like to ask if there was a possibility we could have this article appear on the main page anytime from June 19th to June 26th. I know this is a bit of a late nomination, but I feel it's quite a special circumstance for three reasons: one, this year marks the 5th anniversary of his passing; two, this also marks the first article of a YouTuber, and quite possibly an internet personality, to ever reach this title; and three, his story makes for a compelling one in regards to spreading mental health awareness. If it can't appear solo, would it be possible to share with another as well? Thanks, PantheonRadiance (talk) 05:00, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
- We're looking to see if we can accommodate, will let you know.--Wehwalt (talk) 12:37, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
- We'll do it on June 24.--Wehwalt (talk) 15:41, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
- PantheonRadiance, I've prepared the blurb here. Would you please look it over and make sure it's accurate and properly respectful? Given that it touches on difficult subjects, I'd like your say-so. Note that it can't be lengthened by more than seven characters. Wehwalt (talk) 16:11, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
- Wehwalt Sorry for the late reply, but the 24th is perfect; thank you so much for the accommodation! Also I think your blurb is solid; it summarizes the lead concisely (I admittedly had a harder time than I thought trying to shorten it), balances info of his career and struggles much better than mine (I leaned a bit too much on the latter part of his life), and includes his birthdate and wikilinks which I forgot. Overall I don't have any suggestions and I think this works! Thanks, PantheonRadiance (talk) 04:20, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

SMS Bodrog for 29 July (re-run)
editG'day coords and others, I'd like to nominate SMS Bodrog for 29 July (for firing the first shots of WWI), previous run was in 2017. I've forgotten the process for nominating re-runs (ie what page should I create, as if I follow the normal instructions for a nom, it will take me to the archived nom page Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/Yugoslav monitor Sava, won't it?). Do I just stick /archive1 on it or what? Thanks, Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 01:27, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
- I don't like the instructions FWIW; I think it's just better to mention and link the previous nomination. - Dank (push to talk) 01:56, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks Dan, but is there a standard page title for re-runs? Or do I use the archived page from the first run? Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 03:04, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
- Looking at WP:TFANO, it looks like we've done different things at different times. If no one objects: use the standard name for this month's nomination, and put the old TFAR nomination on the talk page of the new nomination. - Dank (push to talk) 03:15, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

Ronald Reagan TFA blurb
editIt really sticks out that the front page blurb expends 19 words on Reagan's tenure as SAG president, but completely leaves out him serving as Governor of California for two terms. @Wehwalt and Art LaPella: I realize it's quite late to address this, but it would be good if the blurb could be improved. Regards. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 09:29, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
- That's been done. Wehwalt (talk) 12:16, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks! Daniel Quinlan (talk) 17:19, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
