Featured articles
Two featured articles were promoted this week.
- Operation Mascot (nominated by Nick-D) Operation Mascot was an unsuccessful British carrier air raid conducted against the German battleship Tirpitz at her anchorage in Kaafjord, Norway, on 17 July 1944. The attack was one of a series of strikes against the battleship launched from aircraft carriers between April and August 1944, initiated after Allied intelligence determined that the damage inflicted during the Operation Tungsten raid on 3 April had been repaired. A force of 44 British dive bombers and 40 fighters took off from three aircraft carrierson the 17th of July. German radar stations detected these aircraft while they were en route to Kaafjord, but the Tirpitz was protected by a smoke screen when the strike force arrived.
- Freedom Planet (nominated by Tezero) Freedom Planet is a two-dimensional platform video game created by independent developer GalaxyTrail, a studio set up for the project by designer Stephen DiDuro. The player controls one of three anthropomorphic animal protagonists: the dragon Lilac, the wildcat Carol, or the basset hound Milla. Aided by the duck-like Torque, the player attempts to defeat the evil Lord Brevon, who plans to conquer the galaxy. While the game focuses on fast-paced platforming, its levels are interspersed with slower action scenes.

Look, guys. We can't just grab two or three sentences from an article blindly and call "done". We can use articles, but it's misusing them when you're grabbing the boring sentences, or ending the summary of someone's life at age 11. If this is what the short form is, we're going to have to give up on doing the short form. Adam Cuerden 22:58, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

- The Threatened Swan (created by Jan Asselijn, nominated by Editør) The Threatened Swan ({{lang-nl|De bedreigde zwaan is an oil painting of a swan made around 1650 by Dutch Golden Age painter Jan Asselijn.

At the bottom right, the painting is signed with the monogram "A". By 1880, the painting was interpreted as a political allegory of grand pensionary (the highest official in the Dutch Republic) Johan de Witt protecting the country from its enemies.
- Liberty Island (created and nominated by D. Ramey Logan (WPPilot)) Home of the Statue of Liberty, Liberty Island is a colossal neoclassical sculpture on Liberty Island in New York Harbor in New York City, in the United States. The statue designed by Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, a French sculptor and dedicated on October 28, 1886, was a gift to the United States from the people of France, federally owned island in Upper New York Bay in the United States, best known as the location of the Statue of Liberty. The island is an exclave of the New York City borough of Manhattan, surrounded by the waters of Jersey City, New Jersey.

He was also the Duke of Limburg from 1849 until the abolition of the duchy in 1866. william III seems unable to make decisions... that's something to bring in.... Also, this is kind of a mess: The opening, once you remove the parentheses - and I will remove the parentheses - reads "William III by Nicolaas Pieneman was born on 1 January 1809...."

- Virgin and Child with Four Angels (created by Gerard David, nominated by Crisco 1492) Virgin and Child with Four Angels (or Virgin and Child with Angels) is a small oil-on-panel painting by the Early Netherlandish artist Gerard David. Likely completed between 1510 and 1515, it shows the Virgin Mary holding the child Jesus, while she is anointed Queen of Heaven by two angels above her, accompanied by music provided by another two angels placed at either side of her. In its fine detail and lush use of colour the work is typical of both David and late period Flemish art. The painting is heavily influenced by Jan van Eyck's Virgin with Child at a Fountain, especially in the modeling of the Madonna and child. This one is good.
- The Old Musician (created by Édouard Manet, nominated by Crisco 1492) The Old Musician is an 1862 oil painting on canvas by French painter Édouard Manet, produced during the period when the artist was influenced by Spanish art. The painting also betrays the influence of Gustave Courbet. This work is one of Manet's largest paintings and is now conserved at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC.. Can we spice this one up? It's kind of tehnical...

- There's an excellent discussion of the problems of Jabberwocky translations in Douglas Hofstadter's Gödel, Escher, Bach (ch.12 and its preface). What words/syllables do you need in French to cause the same reactions in a francophone reader, that the original does in an English reader? Scarabocchio (talk) 21:33, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
