Featured content in Wikipedia

The featured content star

Featured content represents the best that Wikipedia has to offer. These are the articles, pictures, and other contributions that showcase the polished result of the collaborative efforts that drive Wikipedia. All featured content undergoes a thorough review process to ensure that it meets the highest standards and can serve as an example of our end goals. A small bronze star (The featured content star) in the top right corner of a page indicates that the content is featured. This page gives links to all of Wikipedia's featured content and showcases one randomly selected example of each type of content. You can view another random content selection.

The X-Windows logo

The X Window System is a windowing system for bitmap displays. It is the standard toolkit and protocol for graphical user interfaces on Unix, Unix-like operating systems and OpenVMS, and is available for almost all modern operating systems. X provides the basic framework for a GUI environment: drawing and moving windows on the screen and interacting with a mouse and keyboard. X does not mandate the user interface — this is handled by individual programs. As such, the visual styling of X-based environments varies greatly; different programs may present radically different interfaces. X features network transparency: the machine where application programs (the client applications) run need not be the user's local machine (the display server). X originated at MIT in 1984. The current protocol version, X11, was released in September 1987. The project is led by the X.Org Foundation, and the reference implementation (X11R6.8.2) is free software under the MIT License and similar permissive licenses.

Cave paintings, Ajanta Caves, India

Sixth century mural from the wall of the Ajanta Caves, Maharashtra, India, painted during the Gupta Empire. These paintings, like many produced in this time period, freely depict nudity, romantic themes or sexual situations, reflecting the lack of taboos against sex in a society that also produced the Kama Sutra and the Tantric school of Indian philosophy.
