Tip of the moment...
Good article nominations

Wikipedia articles improved to C-class, and then B-class status may be submitted to the peer review process to receive ideas and feedback from other editors.

Upon successful completion of the peer review, an article can be nominated for GA-Class (Good Article) status.

A good article is...

1. Well written: Prose and layout are clear, and comply with certain aspects of the Manual of Style (MOS); in particular, the lead is a concise summary of the article.
2. Accurate and verifiable: Reliable sources are provided, and cited where necessary.
3. Broad: It covers the main aspects of the topic without going into unnecessary detail. It is encyclopedic.
4. Neutral: It represents viewpoints fairly and without bias.
5. Stable: It does not change significantly from day-to-day.
6. Illustrated: if possible and relevant, by images with acceptable copyright status, fair use rationales where necessary, and succinct captions.

In turn, good articles are eligible for being submitted as candidates for FA-Class (Featured Article) status.

Tomorrow's FA (Featured Article)

Beverly White (1928–2021) was an American politician of the Democratic Party who served in the Utah House of Representatives from 1971 to 1991. Born in Salt Lake City, she was raised in Tooele after the death of her mother and graduated from Tooele High School. White held multiple positions in the Democratic Party at the local, state and national levels, and attended many state and national conventions. In 1971, she was appointed by Governor Cal Rampton to the state house, where she served as assistant whip and was at times the only female committee chair. She was the longest-serving consecutive female member of the Utah Legislature at the time of her death. A delegate to every Democratic National Convention from 1964 to 2004 (with the exception of 1976, when she was an alternate), White served as the secretary of the Utah Democratic Party from 1971 to 1987. White also served on a hospital board, wrote a book about female legislators, and aided in the creation of a satellite campus for Utah State University. (Full article...)

When the Moon is closest, it is at perigee, and it looks slightly bigger from Earth. Perigee is the point at which an object makes its closest approach to the Earth. Often the term is used in a broader sense to define the point in an orbit where an orbiting body is closest to the body it orbits. The opposite is the apogee, the farthest or highest point.
