Featured article about Romania's national railway carrier. Comprehensive and interesting. If the lead below is too long, it can be shortened - in the article, it is divided into three paragraphs, so the last paragraph could be taken off so that it is two sentences shorter (last two sentences form last paragraph in the article lead.

'''[[C&#259;ile Ferate Rom&acirc;ne]]''' (''Romanian Railways'', abbreviated as '''CFR''') is the official designation of the [[state]] [[railway]] carrier of [[Romania]]. CFR manages the fourth-largest railway network in [[Europe]], in terms of volume of passengers and freight. The network is significantly interconnected with other European railway networks, providing pan-European passenger and freight services. CFR as an entity has been operating since [[1880]], even though the first railway on current Romanian territory was opened in [[1854]]. Technically, CFR is divided into four autonomous companies: ''CFR Călători'', which is responsible for passenger services; ''CFR Marfă'', responsible for freight transport; ''CFR Infrastructură'', which manages the infrastructure on the Romanian railway network; ''Societatea Feroviară de Turism'', or SFT, which manages scenic and tourist railways. CFR is headquartered in [[Bucharest]], [[Romania]], and has regional divisions in the following Romanian cities: [[Cluj-Napoca]], [[Craiova]], [[Iaşi]] and [[Braşov]]. Its international [[UIC]] code is 53-CFR.

Self nom. This has been a featured article for over a year, I'd like to see it featured on the main page. I'd also like to request that it be featured on [[August 3]], as that is a date I can remember (my grandmother's birthday), and it gives me time to clean up the non-featured articles that are Marshall related. Thanks. -[[User:JCarriker|JCarriker]] 20:35, July 17, 2005 (UTC)

'''[[Norman Borlaug]]''' is an [[United States|American]] [[agricultural science|agricultural scientist]], [[humanitarian]], [[Nobel Peace Prize|Nobel laureate]], and the father of the [[Green Revolution]], often credited with saving over a billion people from [[starvation]]. During the mid-[[20th century]], he led the development and introduction of semi-dwarf [[yield|high-yield]], [[Phytopathology|disease]]-resistant [[wheat]] [[Variety (biology)|varieties]] and modern agricultural production techniques to [[Mexico]], [[Pakistan]], and [[India]]. As a result, Mexico became a net exporter of wheat by 1963. Between 1965 and 1970, wheat yields nearly doubled in Pakistan and India, greatly improving the [[food security]] in those nations. He was awarded the [[Nobel Peace Prize]] in [[1970]] in recognition of his contributions to [[world peace]] through increasing food supply. More recently, he has helped apply these methods to [[Asia]] and [[Africa]]. In [[1986]], he established the [[World Food Prize]] to recognize individuals who have improved the quality, quantity or availability of food around the globe. Borlaug has continually advocated the use of modern agricultural methods and [[biotechnology]] to decrease world [[famine]]. <s> although such work has faced environmental and [[Socioeconomics|socioeconomic]] criticisms, most of which he has repudiated.<s>

===[[The Ashes]]===

Just promoted; the next Ashes series starts in England on [[21 July]]. -- [[User:ALoan|ALoan]] [[User_talk:ALoan|(Talk)]] 11:34, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

'''[[The Ashes]]''' is a [[biennial]] [[Test cricket]] contest played between [[English cricket team|England]] and [[Australian cricket team|Australia]]. The series is named after the trophy, which is a small wooden urn said to contain the burnt [[bail (cricket)|bails]] from an [[1882]] game at [[The Oval]]. Each Ashes series typically consists of five Test matches, and the series alternate between the two countries.

In the cricketing world, The Ashes is regarded as one of the sport's most famous and fierce rivalries. Notable Ashes series took place in 1932/33 (the [[Bodyline]] tour), 1948 ([[Donald Bradman|Sir Donald Bradman's]] "[[Invincibles]]" Australian side) and 1981 (in which an England team spearheaded by [[Ian Botham]] won a thrilling series). The [[The Ashes in England in 2005|2005 Ashes series]] starts today ([[21 July]]), in [[England]], and is widely expected to be one of the most closely contested of recent years.

:'''Comment''': I would add a sentence from further down the article ('The Ashes Today') into the head section for a front-page featuring: change the last sentence of the first paragraph to 'The next Ashes series is due to start on [[2005-07-21]], in [[England]], and is widely expected to be one of the most closely contested of recent years.' --[[User:Ngb|Ngb]] 11:38, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:'''Comment''': I think this article should definately become a featured article soon if not tommorrow. It is a good way to pay tribute to the Londoners after witnesses terrible events a week ago.[[User:Dagizza|Dagizza]]

::Agreed; that sentence looks better at the end of the second paragraph, I think. See above. -- [[User:ALoan|ALoan]] [[User_talk:ALoan|(Talk)]] 11:52, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:::Since we're asking for it to be on the front page on 21 July, I've tweaked the words slightly, [[User:Jguk|jguk]] 28 June 2005 22:48 (UTC)

===[[The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy]]===

Self-nom. The article was originally created on 18 December 2001, but only recently has it been expanded to cover the 27 year history of the story in all its many adaptations and permutations. The article has passed peer review, and became a featured article with no objections. --[[User:JohnDBuell|JohnDBuell]] | [[User talk:JohnDBuell|Talk]] 11:40, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:I'd like to see this too. Suggest first two paragraphs for the text to be used, can be pruned if needed. [[User:Morwen|Morwen]] - [[User_talk:Morwen|Talk]] 30 June 2005 15:01 (UTC)

Self-nom. This article has just achieved feature article status, and its intro seems to meet requirements. [[User:Buffyg|Buffyg]] 12:23, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Self-nom. Would mind seeing this on the front page. - [[User:Ta bu shi da yu|Ta bu shi da yu]] 10:42, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

===[[Robert A. Heinlein]]===

Self-nomination. This is a comprehensive article on a controversial author who is one of the two or three most important figures in science fiction. I think it will also be of interest to people who aren't science fiction fans, because Heinlein was a leader in bringing science fiction to a broader audience, and his novel [[Stranger in a Strange Land]] is one that many people have heard of. The image at [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:RAHeinlein.autographing.Midamericon.ddb-371-14-750px.jpg]

(used in the article at a lower resolution) is GFDL'd, and the detail of his face below should make a suitable main page image.

===[[Hero of Belarus]]===

was promoted to a FA a few weeks ago, and just want to see it on the front page sometime soon. Though there were articles about other titles/orders/medals featured before, I believe we could do one on this title from a tiny country. Thanks [[User:Zscout370|Zscout370]] [[User_talk:Zscout370|(Sound Off)]] 00:37, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC) (the author of the article and of this nom).

'''Please place new requests at the TOP of the list. The order should be newest requests (top) to oldest requests (bottom). New additions should be at the top, so they're easier to spot.'''

==Old FA's==

Hey Raul, I have taken the liberty of making a list of the FA's that were not on the Main Page as of [[August 18]], 2004 and have still not been there, and are still listed. I sincerely hope you are giving priority to these.
