It has been suggested that this page be merged with Goings-on. (Discuss)
The Main Page redesign team is proud to present their working draft. They've just begun an open editing session which will last until the 18th; your involvement is both welcome and crucial. There will be a pause to sort through the data, fix bugs, perform tests, et cetera before the final election commences on March 1st. It will put the new draft up against the current Main Page.

Collaboration of the week

Help edit Lee Smith (baseball), Misplaced Pages's current collaboration of the week! Please help to bring it up to featured article standard.

Lee Arthur Smith (born December 4, 1957 in Shreveport, Louisiana) was a pitcher in Major Leagues. Smith played for eight teams in both the NL and AL in his 18-year career, beginning with the Cubs in 1980. Smith led the league in saves four times during his career and by the time of his retirement in 1997 (with the Expos), he was the all-time leader with 478 saves. Smith used his fastball and size (he stood 6'6") to intimidate batters during the late innings of the game and became one of the premier closers of the 1980's and early 1990's.

A picture of Aang and Momo

Aang is a fictional character and the main protagonist for Nickelodeon's animated television series Avatar: The Last Airbender, which was created by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko. He is voiced by Zach Tyler Eisen.

Twelve-year-old Aang is the last surviving Airbender, a monk of the Air Nomads' Southern Air Temple, and is a supercentenarian at the incarnation age of 112. He is the current incarnation of the Avatar, the spirit of the planet manifested in human form. Aang, as the Avatar, controls the elements and is tasked with keeping the Four Nations at peace.

Aang is the series' reluctant hero and comic, spending a century in suspended animation before joining new friends Katara and Sokka on a quest to master the elements and save their world from the war-hungry imperialist Fire Nation.

You can still help with last week's article, World War I, or help pick next week's article.
