The Wikipedia Project Pages are anomalies – not actual articles, but pages that were considered "brilliant prose" and were subsequently listed as "featured" when the featured article process began. Autism, Belgium, Chetwynd, British Columbia, Emperor Norton, Execution by elephant, Fermi paradox, Hero of Belarus, Lead(II) nitrate, London congestion charge, Madonna, Olympic Games, Pashtuns, Poetry, and Max Weber were promoted and demoted twice, and are thus listed twice.
