Wreck of the ship George Roper, Point Lonsdale (1883) by Fred Kruger — restored by Adam Cuerden, promoted to FP in January 2024.

This Signpost "Featured content" report covers material promoted from October 2023 through May 2024. Quotes are generally from the articles, but may be abridged or simplified for length.

It has been quite some time since we've last had a featured content segment, huh? The backlog has grown so great that, in the interest of giving things their proper respect, we've decided to separate the FAs from the other forms of featured content. Here is a full list of newly promoted FAs, starting from when our last Featured Content column left off (in that case, at the end of October!)


135 featured articles were promoted during this period. Enjoy the list, and pay no heed to the ordering or any musical accompaniments you might hear.
