Wikipedia:Today's featured list
|
Today's featured list  Today's featured list is a section included on the Main Page on Mondays and on Fridays, in which an introduction to one of Wikipedia's featured lists is displayed. The current month's queue can be found here. The lists appearing on the Main Page are scheduled by the featured list director, currently Giants2008. To be eligible to appear on the Main Page, a list must already be featured. For more information on the featured list promotion process, please see the featured list candidates, as well as the featured list criteria. In addition, a blurb is drafted, introducing the subject of the list. Blurbs are roughly 1,000 characters in length, with no reference tags, alternate names or extraneous boldface type, although a link to the specified featured list should be emboldened; a relevant picture is also usually included with the blurb. The previous three lists that were featured on the Main Page appear along the bottom, in reverse chronological order. You can submit a list to be scheduled at the submissions page. At the moment, lists are scheduled by the featured list director or by the featured list delegates, although we will eventually be devising a community-based system for selecting each day's list. We encourage editors to submit and to review as many blurbs as possible. If you notice a problem with an upcoming featured list to appear on the Main Page, please leave a message at the Main Page errors page or here. Further suggestions on how you can participate can be found here. |

The American TV series Cobra Kai has released fifty episodes over the course of five seasons, with an upcoming sixth and final season. The first season of the martial-arts comedy-drama series premiered on the streaming service YouTube Red on May 2, 2018. YouTube Premium then released an additional season in 2019. Following a content shift on YouTube, subsequent seasons moved to Netflix. The third season and the fourth season were released in 2021 followed by a fifth season in 2022. Originally expected to be released by December 2023, the sixth season was delayed due to the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike and the SAG-AFTRA strike. Netflix later announced the final season would consist of 15 episodes and would release in three parts beginning in 2024 and ending in 2025. Cobra Kai is a spin-off and sequel to the first four films in the Karate Kid franchise. The first season takes place 30 years after the 1984 film The Karate Kid. Ralph Macchio (pictured) and William Zabka, among other actors, return from the film series in prominent roles. Cobra Kai has received critical acclaim, multiple award nominations, and large viewing figures. (Full list...)

The 2012 NBA draft was held on June 28, 2012, at Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey and broadcast in the United States on ESPN. The New Orleans Hornets won the National Basketball Association (NBA) draft lottery on May 30. For the first time in draft history, the first two players selected were from the same school (Anthony Davis – pictured and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist were teammates at Kentucky). It also set a record of having six players from one school (Kentucky) selected and was the first draft to have the first three selections be college freshmen all from the same conference (Southeastern Conference). Bernard James was the oldest player ever drafted, being 27 years old at the time of the draft. Four of the players selected never played in an NBA game. The draft class went on to have six players who participated in an All-Star Game, seven players who combined for 10 championships, as well as having Anthony Davis and Damian Lillard both named to the NBA 75th Anniversary Team in 2021.
