Today's featured article for July 22, 2026

Ludwig Ross (22 July 1806 – 6 August 1859) was a German classical archaeologist. He is chiefly remembered for the rediscovery and reconstruction of the Temple of Athena Nike in 1835–1836, and for his other excavation and conservation work on the Acropolis of Athens. He was also an important figure in the early years of archaeology in the independent Kingdom of Greece, serving as Ephor General of Antiquities between 1834 and 1836. He was appointed as the first professor of archaeology at the University of Athens, where he educated the first generation of natively trained Greek archaeologists, including Panagiotis Efstratiadis. He lost his post as a result of the 3 September 1843 Revolution, which removed most non-Greeks from public service in the country. He spent his final years as a professor in Halle, where he argued unsuccessfully against the reconstruction of the Indo-European language family, believing the Latin language to be a direct descendant of Ancient Greek.

On This Day...."Alexander Mackenzie was the first recorded human" to travel across Canada, not only the first European. Should be changed to first recorded HUMAN.Giantfrogs (talk) 02:11, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

Done. Thanks. —howcheng {chat} 03:31, 22 July 2012 (UTC)


On This Day.... "Scottish-Canadian explorer Alexander Mackenzie" Alexander Mackenzie is stated as being Scottish-Canadian, which is incorrect. He was Scottish, plain and simple. He lived in the area that is now Canada for a person, and largely during the time when that area was not yet considered 'Canada,' but then returned to Scotland. 172.218.93.102 (talk) 20:10, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

I agree. In my opinion "Scottish explorer and scientist Alexander Mackenzie" would be enough to explain the combination of the context together with his political position ( member of the 4 th Legislative Assembly of Lower Canada ). Askedonty (talk) 00:13, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

Surely more of a DYK than SA/OTD? I consider it kind of trivial for here. Awien (talk) 23:15, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

Apparently it was a big deal in Brazil. US/UK crime stories get featured all the time, so it's fair to put in a Brazilian crime story. —howcheng {chat} 04:28, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

Edit request on 22 July 2019

Greetings and felicitations. In "* 1975 – Stanley Forman took the Pulitzer Prize-winning photo" please change "-winning" to "–winning" per MOS:ENDASH. —DocWatson42 (talk) 08:21, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

DocWatson42, no, a hyphen is correct as the term is a compound modifier per MOS:HYPHEN. --- Coffeeandcrumbs 13:23, 22 July 2019 (UTC)
@Coffeeandcrumbs: Actually, since "Pulitzer Prize" is a compound in and of itself[1] MOS:SUFFIXDASH applies and is the reason for my request. (I apologize—I should have been more specific from the start.) —DocWatson42 (talk) 03:34, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
