Wikipedia talk:Featured articles that haven't been on the Main Page

Ridge Route

I removed Ridge Route from this list since it was the September 30, 2004 TFA. I think someone should pay a little more attention when an article such as that one was demoted on WP:FAR then upgraded back to FA status. I do not know what other similar articles should be removed.

What's the point of this page? >Radiant< 11:49, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

More to the point, who keeps it up-to-date? Carcharoth 21:58, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Updates

I have just updated many of the sections, but there are some that I haven't gotten to and it's time for me to go to bed. Those that remain to be updated are:

• Biology
• Geography and places
• History
• Literature and theatre
• Media
• Music
• Royalty, nobility and heraldry
• Sport and recreation
• Transport
• Video gaming

Of course, once Sandy promotes another round of FAs this list will become fully obsolete once again. Can't a bot do this? -MBK₀₀₄ 04:58, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Sub sections

Shouldn't this page have the same sub sections the main FA page now has? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bucs (talk • contribs) 22:52, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

Yes. Once Sandy finishes up the rearrangement, I'll add in the subsections when I get the time. Dabomb87 (talk) 14:24, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Bot to update this page

I've filed a request to approve a bot to keep this page up-to-date; see WP:Bots/Requests for approval/UcuchaBot 5. Ucucha (talk) 20:30, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

"Haven't" or "have not"?

As abbreviations such as "haven't" would be frowned upon in a featured article, shouldn't this page be moved to Wikipedia:Featured articles that have not been on the Main Page? Bencherlite^Talk 00:46, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

Just saw this, and thought the exact same thing. FunkMonk (talk) 21:26, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

Such a move would have to be done very carefully so as to not upset the Bots. Hawkeye7 (talk) 21:34, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

Four Freedoms

I was browsing through the list and I found that Four Freedoms is not actually a FA, but rather a GA. I removed it manually from the list, but it might not work. I don't know how this thing works, the bot might just re-add it.

Bot re-adds articles that have already been on the main page

I've just gone through and removed a bunch of animal articles that have already been on the main-page, but then the FACbot re-added them with this edit:[1] What's up with that? FunkMonk (talk) 12:59, 21 October 2017 (UTC)

You cannot update that page directly. The FACBot generates it from Wikipedia:Featured articles. I've made the required edit, and the FACBot will remove Steller's sea cow in the next run in an hour or so. The FACBot didn't run for a few days in September due to a security-related problem, but the delegates usually like to handle this manually in any case. The FACBot will do it for them, but not until the day. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 21:57, 6 November 2017 (UTC)

Alright, still a good bunch left that were on the main page long ago. FunkMonk (talk) 22:02, 6 November 2017 (UTC)

Similarly, lead has already been on the main page, but it keeps getting readded. What's the procedure to fix this? Double sharp (talk) 10:16, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

Giganotosaurus was also TFA long ago, but is still here. FunkMonk (talk) 09:47, 20 June 2018 (UTC)

Same goes for Spotted green pigeon. FunkMonk (talk) 22:40, 25 November 2018 (UTC)

Category Biblioteca Marciana

FunkMonk, Hello, I'm not sure if you're the right person to contact. The article on the Biblioteca Marciana was recently promoted to FA, but it seems to be in an inappropriate category. Currently, it's listed under 'Literature and theatre', but it has little in common with the other articles in that category. It seems closest to those in 'Architecture and archaeology'. At GA, it was under 'Art and Architecture'. Can you help?Venicescapes (talk) 11:54, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

I'd think Hawkeye7 knows more about the technical stuff here? FunkMonk (talk) 16:25, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

The placement of the articles on the Wikipedia:Featured articles page is not done by the FACBot, it is done manually by the FAC coordinator, in this case Laser brain.[2] There shouldn't be any problem with just moving it on the page. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 19:41, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

Moved. --Laser brain (talk) 23:55, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
