Dates research

The above articles have years attached to them, but not specific dates. Helping to pin down a date range, even a month, can help with when to schedule them. Not essential, but nice to have. Harizotoh9 (talk) 23:14, 11 June 2025 (UTC)

Voyager 1?

How far in advance can TFA dates be reserved? Voyager 1 will reach 1 light-day from the Earth on November 15, 2026. I'm thinking of getting that up to FA in honor of that achievement and that would be a great day to be on the main page. RoySmith (talk) 15:03, 21 June 2025 (UTC)

[[Nominative determinism]]

There's an apparently valid {{tl|globalize}} tag in {{slink|Nominative determinism|Background}}. Setting aside whether the article still meets FA criteria, shouldn't maintenance tags generally be resolved before an article is put on the main page as TFA? voorts (talk/contributions) 03:17, 27 June 2025 (UTC)

:Ideally, yes, but the article was listed for TFA about six weeks before the tag was put there, so it’s unsurprising that it wasn’t seen at the point of scheduling, and if no-one flags up the problem to the TFA coords before its scheduled date, then there is always a possibility this can happen. I’ve hidden the tag for today to give it a clean run, but it can go back tomorrow. I don’t know enough about nominative determinism to know whether the tag is justified or not. - SchroCat (talk) 03:43, 27 June 2025 (UTC)
