Caption
  • Paul Kruger (] by ]) Paul Kruger was a prominent Boer leader, who was President of the South African Republic from 1883 to 1900. After the defeat of Boer forces in the Second Boer War Kruger was dispatched to Lourenço Marques to prevent his capture.
  • The Sirens and Ulysses (nominated by Iridescent) The Sirens and Ulysses is a painting by English artist William Etty. "The work was completed and exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts in 1837"; we're unsure as to what Etty did to his painting at the RA, but most illustrations of the time show the artists up ladders putting finishing touches to their framed pictures.
  • Three-cent silver (] by ]) Buddy can you spare a trime? This US three cent coin was issued for circulation between 1851 and 1872; from 1848 so much gold flooded the Eastern US economy that its price relative to silver dropped to the point where it was profitable to export silver coins as bullion, get paid in gold and then send the gold to the Mint to be made into gold coins, which were then used to buy more silver coins.
  • Hermeneutic style (] by ]) The hermeneutic style is Latin written using recherché and plutinobibulous words. It was used by writers of the late Roman and early medieval periods- the second-century scrivener Apuleius is the first known to have used the style in his asininious metamorphics.
  • Ulysses S. Grant (] by ]) Description.
  • Edward II of England (] by ]) Description.
  • Of Human Feelings (] by ]) Description.

    Merci to all my colleagues who really did it..-The Herald my strength 16:26, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
    I love the comparison between the pre-restoration image and the final FP. It makes you really appreciate the work and effort that the editor went to. Miyagawa (talk) 17:05, 17 April 2015 (UTC)

    Hmm

    Sorry, but the title is really bad. French is my native tongue, and I cannot make any sense out of the title.

    • Au-delà de les Alpes, le chien lit de Sainte Bernard : In French, the painting title is « Bonaparte franchissant le Grand-Saint-Bernard » (Napoleon gets through the Great St Bernard Pass)
    • Sous les pavés, les trimes d'argent! : Uther nonsense. It would translate in English to "Under the cobbles, the of money !"
    • Mes enfants, suivez-moi! : OK

    Cantons-de-l'Est (talk) 23:44, 17 April 2015 (UTC)

    Based on slogans from 1968. "La chienlit, c'est lui!" and "Sous les pavés, la plage!". "Le chien lit" is the Guardian newspaper's mistranslation (they thought it meant "dog bed"), and Napoleon passed through the St Bernard Pass, hence the dog-bed of the St Bernard. "Trime" is the nickname of the US silver three-cent piece. Xanthomelanoussprog (talk) 06:58, 18 April 2015 (UTC)

    Dates

    What's the intended definition of "promoted this week"? These were promoted on 29 March and 31 March. I think doing a diff on WP:FA for the date range you want to cover might be the best way to get the list; anything added was promoted in that time period. An article becomes an FA by being added to that page, so that's the most authoritative way to get a listing. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 11:10, 18 April 2015 (UTC)

    • Mike, not sure I understand the question here. If you click on "promoted" next to the name you will see the nomination page. We are from what I understand about to launch a bot that will automate the process, but it is a good point and perhaps we might consider listing the dates these were promoted in the summary.. --talk→ WPPilot  12:32, 18 April 2015 (UTC)
      Well, it's not a big deal, but the date of the Signpost edition is 12 April, so I would have expected the list of "this week"'s featured articles to include articles promoted from 3-9 April, or 4-10 April, or something like that. There were several articles promoted on 6 April, so the week of coverage for this issue of the Signpost is apparently something like 30 March to 5 April, which is a full week behind the issue date. That's all I was commenting on. As I say, it's not a big issue. I don't know what method you're using to extract the list of article, but I think the history of WP:FA is probably best -- the coords include links to the promoted articles in the edit summaries, so it's easy to spot them.

    @Mike Christie: Noone ever notices the note at the top saying "This Signpost "Featured content" report covers material promoted from 29 March through 4 April." - I've done what I can to make it more prominent, but... Adam Cuerden 14:17, 18 April 2015 (UTC)
    Oops. My bad! Thanks for pointing that out. Mystery solved. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 14:19, 18 April 2015 (UTC)
    @Mike Christie: I've been gradually making it more and more prominent, because this comes up a lot. I've added some bolding. I'm sure it won't be enough (I think people's eyes automatically skip over things placed where it is), but... Adam Cuerden 14:32, 18 April 2015 (UTC)
