[edit] Next update
Suggestions for the next Main Page template:
From Wikipedia's newest articles:
- ...that Charles Frederick Field (pictured) was the basis for Inspector Bucket in Charles Dickens's novel Bleak House?
- ...that in the 1957 Polish legislative election, out of 60,000 candidates only 723 were permitted to run?
- ...that Leela Majumdar, author of children's books, translated Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels and Ernest Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea into Bengali?
- ..that Enmerkar and the Lord of Aratta is an ancient Sumerian tablet describing how Enmerkar of Uruk forced the people of Aratta to contribute materials for the ziggurats he was building?
- ...that the modern meaning of "ballad", a slow, sentimental tune or love song, often written in a fairly standardized form, came about from Tin Pan Alley and Broadway composers?
- See how this template appears on both today's Main Page and tomorrow's Main Page.
