Silent Parade is newly promoted FA article. The parade was on 28 July 1917. I just put it in the TFA Pending calendar for the parade's 109th anniversary: 28 July 2026. However, I'm not sure what happens if July 2026 comes, and there is a huge backlog of fresh FAs ... is there a chance the Silent Parade would get bumped out of that slot? The instructions above say that putting an article in the Pending calendar ...does not count as a nomination and does not guarantee selection. If TFA experts think Silent Parade should go through the normal TFAR process for late 2025, maybe that is a better plan. Noleander (talk) 13:43, 24 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There's always the chance that there will be another worthy contender for that specific date. When that happens, coordinators do the best they can. In practice, conflicts aren't that common. Nominate it at TFA/R as soon as June is scheduled, which is probably around the first of May give or take a few days. We can't guarantee anything because we don't know what FAC will produce in the next ten months. Wehwalt (talk) 13:53, 24 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Got it. Thanks. Noleander (talk) 13:54, 24 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I was checking the availability of Nov 15 2026 for voyager 1, but wtf guys? 172.1.161.105 (talk) 17:38, 30 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe you would like to explain the problem. You’ve cut and pasted something, but not made it clear what the issue is. (And if you want Voyager 1 as Today's Featured Article, it needs to first make it to being a featured article; at present it's only classed as a good article.) - SchroCat (talk) 17:51, 30 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Mostly suggestions, based on anniversaries. If you hover over "why", it'll give the justification. For instance, Tôn Thất Đính is for the centenary of his birth and is a good day to run that article. Harizotoh9 (talk) 21:35, 12 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Kitty Marion was TFA on 16 August 2025 (several months after it became FA). Another editor also put it in the Pending list above, for 8 March 2026 (Int'l Womens Day), which is cool, but it should not be TFA again so quickly, correct? I'm not sure of the TFA protocols, but it should probably be removed from 8 March 2026 slot above. Noleander (talk) 18:20, 4 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Noleander and good spot. Now removed. - SchroCat (talk) 18:25, 4 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

When I go to Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions and click on the "length when previewed" link, I get taken to what looks like some spam/clickbait site. Not sure what's going on there, but nothing good. RoySmith (talk) 20:52, 5 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think I reported a similar thing a few months ago: Wikipedia_talk:Today's_featured_article/requests/Archive_19#External_link_in_nomination_step_III_is_dead? Noleander (talk) 21:09, 5 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Any thoughts as to what to do about it? Wehwalt (talk) 21:32, 5 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

First step: drop the link, - it makes sense without it but no sense with a wrong one. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:48, 5 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Good point. That is done.--Wehwalt (talk) 22:01, 5 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
