They have a fossil record dating back at least 30 million years and are most closely related to the Shoebill and Hammerkop.

title="User:Lecen">Lecen</a>, and <a href="/wiki/User:DrKiernan" class="mw-redirect" title="User:DrKiernan">DrKiernan</a>. Pedro I (1798–1834) was the founder and first ruler of the Empire of Brazil. Raised in Portugal, he and his family went to Brazil following a French invasion. In 1820 he was made regent of Brazil, and he declared the country's independence in 1822. During his reign as emperor, he quashed numerous uprisings and spent a period as monarch of both Brazil and Portugal but abdicated in 1831.</li> <li><b><a href="/wiki/Dorset" title="Dorset">Dorset</a></b> (<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates/Dorset/archive1" title="Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Dorset/archive1">nom</a>) by <a href="/wiki/User:Ykraps" title="User:Ykraps">Ykraps</a>. The English ceremonial county of Dorset has a long history of human settlement. It is mostly rural, with roughly half its population in the South East Dorset conurbation. The county's varied landscape covers 2,653 square kilometres (1,024 sq mi), over half of which has been designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The county is accessed by railways, ports, an international airport, and numerous A-roads.</li> <li><b><a href="/wiki/%3F_(film)" class="mw-redirect mw-disambig" title="?

Meant to counter the portrayal of Islam as a "radical religion", the director had difficulty finding sponsors owing to the film's pluralist nature; this pluralist message later led to protests against <i>?</i>. The film was a critical and commercial success.</li> <li><b><a href="/wiki/Joseph_B._Foraker" title="Joseph B. Foraker">Joseph B.

Governor of Ohio (1886–1890) and senator from that state (1897–1909), Foraker was a Republican who was a political rival of William McKinley and Mark Hanna, and who lost re-election as senator after opposing President Theodore Roosevelt when Roosevelt dismissed over 150 black soldiers from the Army without any hearing in the Brownsville Affair.</li> <li><b><a href="/wiki/Olmec_colossal_heads" title="Olmec colossal heads">Olmec colossal heads</a></b> (<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates/Olmec_colossal_heads/archive1" title="Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Olmec colossal heads/archive1">nom</a>) by <a href="/wiki/User:Simon_Burchell" title="User:Simon Burchell">Simon Burchell</a>. The Olmec colossal heads consist of at least seventeen monumental stone representations of human male heads sculpted from large basalt boulders. Distinctive feature of the Olmec civilization of ancient Mesoamerica, they date back to 900 BC and have physical attributes similar to the inhabitants of Tabasco and Veracruz. There are 17 confirmed examples, from four different sites.</li> <li><b><a href="/wiki/Boden_Professor_of_Sanskrit_election,_1860" class="mw-redirect" title="Boden Professor of Sanskrit election, 1860">Boden Professor of Sanskrit election, 1860</a></b> (<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates/Boden_Professor_of_Sanskrit_election,_1860/archive1" title="Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Boden Professor of Sanskrit election, 1860/archive1">nom</a>) by <a href="/wiki/User:Bencherlite" class="mw-redirect" title="User:Bencherlite">Bencherlite</a>. The hotly contested election for the position of Boden Professor of Sanskrit at the University of Oxford in Britain was between two men with different approaches to Sanskrit scholarship; Monier Williams viewed it as a way to help convert India to Christianity, while his competitor Max Müller viewed the discipline as an end in itself. Williams won, in what proved to be the last election for the position.</li> <li><b><a href="/wiki/HMS_Bellerophon_(1786)" title="HMS Bellerophon (1786)">HMS <i>Bellerophon</i> (1786)</a></b> (<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates/HMS_Bellerophon_(1786)/archive1" title="Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/HMS Bellerophon (1786)/archive1">nom</a>) by <a href="/wiki/User:Benea" class="mw-redirect" title="User:Benea">Benea</a>.

Heber (1783–1826) was an English clergyman, man of letters and hymn-writer who served as the Anglican Bishop of Calcutta. After gaining an early reputation as a poet, he was ordained in 1807 and spent 16 years as a parish priest. In 1823 he was sent to Calcutta to serve as bishop, where a combination of the tropical climate and his arduous duties led to his sudden death.</li> <li><b><a href="/wiki/Pelican" title="Pelican">Pelican</a></b> (<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates/Pelican/archive1" title="Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Pelican/archive1">nom</a>) by <a href="/wiki/User:Casliber" title="User:Casliber">Casliber</a>, <a href="/wiki/User:Maias" title="User:Maias">Maias</a>, <a href="/wiki/User:MeegsC" title="User:MeegsC">MeegsC</a>, and <a href="/wiki/User:Jimfbleak" title="User:Jimfbleak">Jimfbleak</a>.

It is good that we are concerned with being friendly to newbies, but we should be just as concerned about being kind and considerate to our fellow experienced editors - people edit here because it is a worthwhile project, but if what Tim called the "joy" goes out of it, it is difficult to justify continuing to put in a lot of time. I would refer everyone specifically to <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:CITEVAR" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:CITEVAR">WP:CITEVAR</a>. Personally, I think that there should be a corollary to <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:OWN" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:OWN">WP:OWN</a> that says that when an experienced editor has brought an article to GA or FA quality and continues to monitor the quality of that article, other editors should avoid arguing with him or her about silly formatting changes that make that editor's life difficult and should respect that editor's preferences regarding non-substantive content issues, unless there is an important technical consideration involved, like <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:ACCESS" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:ACCESS">WP:ACCESS</a>. -- <a href="/wiki/User:Ssilvers" title="User:Ssilvers">Ssilvers</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Ssilvers" title="User talk:Ssilvers">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2012-08-20/Featured_content#c-Ssilvers-2012-08-23T23:32:00.000Z-Crisco_1492-2012-08-23T00:12:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">23:32, 23 August 2012 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Ssilvers-2012-08-23T23:32:00.000Z-Crisco_1492-2012-08-23T00:12:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Ssilvers-2012-08-23T23:32:00.000Z-Crisco_1492-2012-08-23T00:12:00.000Z"></span></dd></dl></dd></dl> <dl><dd><dl><dd><dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Doctree-2012-08-24T17:13:00.000Z-Ssilvers-2012-08-23T23:32:00.000Z"></span>Thank you, <a href="/wiki/User:Ssilvers" title="User:Ssilvers">Ssilvers</a>.

And, an editor has just attacked me on my talk page insisting that his style of formatting at <i><a href="/wiki/The_King_and_I" title="The King and I">The King and I</a></i> is better than mine; and so he has reformatted the references there over my objection, and without giving me a chance to consider his comments first. After producing quite a few GAs and FAs (and hundreds of other articles) myself, over the past six years, this makes me feel as if it is not worth working on the project.
