When proposing a candidate, please

include pronunciations for terms left untranslated, such as proper names and foreign terms, for the sake of languages that will want to transliterate them.

Propose a new candidate

You may remove a candidate from the list, if it has

more opposing votes than supporting ones for two weeks, or
an equal number of opposing votes and supporting votes for one month, or
the number of oppose votes is 1/3 or more of that of total votes for two months, or

en:Indiana Dunes National Park

(Net support = 2; Against = 37.5%) (Group 2) (No votes from 4 years, 6 months and 5 days) (→ It is removable)

Indiana Dunes National Park is a United States National Park located in Northwestern Indiana, managed by the National Park Service. It was authorized by Congress in 1966 as the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, the name by which it was known until it was designated the nation's newest and 61st national park on February 15, 2019. The park runs for nearly 25 miles (40 km) along the southern shore of Lake Michigan; it contains approximately 15,000 acres (6,100 ha). Its visitors center is in Porter, Indiana. Located in the park are sand dune, wetland, prairie, river, and forest ecosystems.

Comment

en:History of chocolate in Spain

(Net support = 3; Against = 28.571%) (Group 1)

The history of chocolate in Spain is part of the culinary history of Spain as understood since the 16th century, when the colonization of the Americas began and the cocoa plant was discovered in regions of Mesoamerica, until the present. After the conquest of Mexico, cocoa as a commodity travelled by boat from the port of Nueva España to the Spanish coast. The first such voyage to Europe occurred at an unknown date in the 1520s. However it was only in the 17th century that regular trade began from the port of Veracruz, opening a maritime trade route that would supply the new demand from Spain, and later from other European countries.

Clearly an article of encyclopedic nature. Although a little long, an alternative for the translator is to translate the introduction. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Zquid (talk) 12:02, 20 October 2019 (UTC) - - - No, the comment was made by Uruk, 12:18, 20 October 2019 (UTC) [1].

en:Patanga succincta

(Net support = 3; Against = 20%) (Group 1)

Patanga succincta, the Bombay locust, is a species of locust found in India and southeast Asia. It is usually a solitary insect, and it is only in India that it has exhibited swarming behaviour. The last plague of this locust was in that country between 1901 and 1908 and there have not been any swarms since 1927. It is thought that the behaviour of the insects has altered because of changing practices in agricultural land use.

Between 2/3 and 50% support (group 2)

Sorted first by the net support (number of support votes minus number of oppose votes) and second in order of nomination.
If a candidate has the number of oppose votes is 1/3 or more of that of total votes for two months, it will be removed from the list (rule 3).

en:Earliest known life forms

(Net support = 2; Against = 33.333%) (Group 2) (No votes from 4 years, 6 months and 17 days) (→ It is removable)

The earliest known life forms on Earth are fossilized microorganisms found in hydrothermal vent precipitates. The earliest time that life forms first appeared on Earth is at least 3.7 billion years ago or even 4.5 billion years; not long after the oceans formed. The earliest direct evidence of life on Earth are microfossils of microorganisms permineralized in 3.4-billion-year-old Australian Pilbara Craton rocks.

If a candidate has more opposing votes than supporting ones for two weeks, it will be removed from the list (rule 1).

New candidates (group 5)

With only 1 positive vote. (Regardless of whether they receive a negative vote or more.)
Sorted first by the net support and second in order of nomination.
If a candidate has no vote after two weeks, it will be removed from the list (rule 4).

en:Mosquito-borne disease

(Net support = 0; Against = 50%) (Group 3) (No votes from 4 years, 6 months and 24 days) (→ It is removable)

Mosquito-borne diseases or mosquito-borne illnesses are diseases caused by bacteria, viruses or parasites transmitted by mosquitoes. They can transmit disease without being affected themselves. Nearly 700 million people get a mosquito-borne illness each year resulting in over one million deaths.

en:Visual Molecular Dynamics

(Net support = -1; Against = 66.667%) (Group 5) (No votes from 4 years, 6 months and 12 days) (→ It is removable)

Visual molecular dynamics (VMD) is a molecular modelling and visualization computer program. VMD is developed as mainly a tool to view and analyze the results of molecular dynamics simulations. It also includes tools for working with volumetric data, sequence data, and arbitrary graphics objects. Molecular scenes can be exported to external rendering tools such as POV-Ray, RenderMan, Tachyon, Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML), and many others. Users can run their own Tcl and Python scripts within VMD as it includes embedded Tcl and Python interpreters.

Comment

en:P-site

(Net support = 0; Against = 50%) (Group 5) (No votes from 4 years, 6 months and 12 days) (→ It is removable)

The P-site (for peptidyl) is the second binding site for tRNA in the ribosome. The other two sites are the A-site (aminoacyl), which is the first binding site in the ribosome, and the E-site (exit), the third. During protein translation, the P-site holds the tRNA which is linked to the growing polypeptide chain. When a stop codon is reached, the peptidyl-tRNA bond of the tRNA located in the P-site is cleaved releasing the newly synthesized protein
