Today's featured article for March 11, 2025
Matthew Brettingham

Matthew Brettingham (1699 – 1769) was an English architect who rose from modest origins to become one of the best-known architects of his generation. Much of his principal work has since been demolished, particularly his work in London, where he revolutionised the design of the grand townhouse. As a result, he is often overlooked today, remembered principally for his Palladian remodelling of numerous country houses, many of them situated in the East Anglia area of Britain. Brettingham' practice constructing townhouses for the aristocracy was substantial. Major commissions included Norfolk House and Cumberland House. Drawing inspiration from Italian urban palazzo, and from Andrea Palladio's rural villas, he created a style and arrangements of rooms perfectly suited to the mid-18th century nobility. As Brettingham neared the pinnacle of his career, Palladianism began to fall out of fashion and neoclassicism was introduced, championed by the young Robert Adam. (Full article...)

Add Mikhail Gorbechev Rises to Power

[edit]

Really simple and important, it needs to be here --Hushak 21:21, 10 March 2020 (EST)

Incorrect plural

[edit]

1845 should read "...between Maori and...". The correct plural of Maori is Maori.

The pic is dead... I think we need a new one. --Daysleeper47 19:18, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Paul I

This event is listed on the March 23 page. The Paul I of Russia article distinguishes March 11 is the old style date. Kentholke (talk) 22:03, 7 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

2010 Pichilemu earthquake

[edit]

Could it be listed? --Diego Grez (talk) 21:06, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's a GA, but reading the article, it seems to be a minor quake. There were few casualties, no tsunami, and no dollar amount of damages listed, so it doesn't look like a good candidate. howcheng {chat} 16:47, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request on 10 March 2013

[edit]

Perhaps a blurb for Royal Assent should be created as there is this blurb which has huge effect in the Commonwealth of Nations:

1708 – Queen Anne withholds Royal Assent from the Scottish Militia Bill, the last time a British monarch vetoes legislation.

I was thinking this would only go into the eligible list, and posted up say in 2018. Royal Assent is an FA article, and Queen Anne is a GA article. RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 13:36, 10 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Go ahead and do it in a few days when this is no longer protected. —howcheng {chat} 18:03, 10 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Would it be possible for the list to be a little less bloody? Four out of five items have an explicit body count. Melchoir (talk) 16:48, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I didn't notice... I'm usually observant of that sort of thing. —howcheng {chat} 03:31, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
