Keepin mind that everything here is in the middle of a major overhaul after the move from the old domain, especially with the new page structure (i.e., <date>/featured article instead of a portion on a date's page).

An
Article of the Day or
AOTD is a small lead-in/teaser placed on the front page describing the featured article that is being showcased that day. Since we don't have a the staff to do all the writeups ourselves, we allow individual users like you to suggest AOTDs and even design the front page intro yourself it you want.
This page not only provides instructions on how to make and get approval for an AOTD, but it also provides a handy list of, and links to, all active and inactive pages in the AOTD namespace.
Creating AOTDs

- the date of the passing of significant legislation
- A complete article; not a stub.
- Well written, in such a manner that it provides useful information to the reader.
