Today's featured article for September 25, 2024
SMS Helgoland SMS Helgoland (pictured) was a dreadnought battleship of the German Imperial Navy. Her design improved from the Nassau class, including an increase in the bore diameter of the main guns. Her keel was laid down at the Howaldtswerke shipyards in Kiel, launched on 25 September 1909, and commissioned on 23 August 1911. During World War I the ship participated in several sweeps into the North Sea as the covering force for the battlecruisers of the I Scouting Group. She saw limited duty in the Baltic Sea against the Russian Navy, including serving as part of a support force during the Battle of the Gulf of Riga in August 1915. Helgoland was present at the Battle of Jutland on 31 May – 1 June 1916, though she was located in the center of the German line of battle and not as heavily engaged as the ships in the lead. She was ceded to Great Britain after the war and broken up for scrap in the early 1920s. Her coat of arms is preserved in the Bundeswehr Military History Museum in Dresden. (Full article...)

Shostie looking at today's Main Page in disbelief.

Today all the world celebrates the 100th anniversary of Dmitri Shostakovich, except Wikipedia. His name is not mentioned anywhere on Main Page, although we have a featured article about the guy. --Ghirla ^-трёп- 06:54, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Another problem. Is there any real evidence that the image featured in the template really represents Bayezid I? What is its copyright status? Please join discussion on Talk:Bayezid I. --Ghirla ^-трёп- 07:13, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the suggestion, Ghirla. Shostakovich is now on MainPage. -- PFHLai 12:26, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Please replace Harald III with Harald Hardrada and Harold II with Harold Godwinson. My eyes starts bleeding each time I see numerals in use for medieval Scandinavian monarchs. Fornadan (t) 12:55, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Done. Hope your eyes get better soon, Fornadan. Take care. -- PFHLai 13:27, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
