  • Nemegtomaia (article candidates/Nemegtomaia/archive1|nominated Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Nemegtomaia/archive1|nominated by User:FunkMonk|FunkMonk) is a genus of oviraptorid dinosaur from what is now Mongolia that lived in the Late Cretaceous Period, about 70Template:Nbspmillion years ago. The first specimen was found in 1996, and became the basis of the new genus and species N. barsboldi in 2004. The original genus name was Nemegtia, but this was changed to Nemegtomaia in 2005, as the former name was preoccupied. The first part of the generic name refers to the Nemegt Basin, where the animal was found, and the second part means "good mother", in reference to the fact that oviraptorids are known to have brooded their eggs. The specific name honours the palaeontologist Rinchen Barsbold. Two more specimens were found in 2007, one of which was found on top of a nest with eggs, but the dinosaur had received its genus name before it was found associated with eggs.

  • The Oran fatwa (article candidates/Oran fatwa/archive1|nominated Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Oran fatwa/archive1|nominated by User:HaEr48|HaEr48) was a responsum fatwa, or an Islamic legal opinion, issued in 1504 to address the crisis that occurred when Muslims in the Crown of Castile were forced to convert to Christianity in 1500–1502. The fatwa sets out detailed relaxations of the sharia requirements, allowing the Muslims to conform outwardly to Christianity and perform acts that are ordinarily forbidden in Islamic law, when necessary to survive. It includes relaxed instructions to fulfill the ritual prayers, the ritual charity and the ritual ablution, and recommendations when obliged to violate Islamic law, such as worshipping as Christians, performing blasphemy, and consuming pork and wine. #fatwa
