  • Today's featured article is expanded to three articles; at present we have just over 2100 FA that give us about 700 days, or almost 2 years to cycle through current ones including those that have already been on the main page.
  • Featured Picture occupies the whole width, the reason is that pictures have three formoats, Portrait, Landscape, and Panorama. Along with the image, the text and attribution need to all be clearly displayed 50% or 33% result in too many compromises. 66% is possible to enable a Featured list, Sound links though it still impacts on panorama images.

Black-and-white image of Winston Churchill standing with his left hand on his hip and his right hand resting on the back of a chair

Winston Churchill (30 November 1874 – 24 January 1965) was a British statesman, soldier and writer who served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1940 to 1945, during the Second World War, and again from 1951 to 1955. Apart from 1922 to 1924, he was a member of Parliament from 1900 to 1964, representing five different constituencies. This black-and-white photograph of Churchill, titled The Roaring Lion, was taken on 30 December 1941 by the Armenian-Canadian photographer Yousuf Karsh in the Centre Block on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Canada. The photograph is particularly noted for Churchill's posture and facial expression, which have been compared to the wartime feelings that prevailed in the United Kingdom – persistence in the face of an all-conquering enemy.
