Harold Bloom (July 11, 1930 – October 14, 2019) was an American literary critic and the Sterling Professor of humanities at Yale University. In 2017, Bloom was called "probably the most famous literary critic in the English-speaking world". After publishing his first book in 1959, Bloom wrote more than 50 books, including over 40 books of literary criticism, several books discussing religion, and one novel. He edited hundreds of anthologies concerning numerous literary and philosophical figures for the Chelsea House publishing firm. This photograph by Bernard Gotfryd shows Bloom in 1986.

DYK for Unknown French boy
[edit]
On 19 June 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Unknown French boy, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Unknown French boy. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Unknown French boy), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hello. Thanks for closing this discussion. However, I think this should have been a WP:BARTENDER close to Knowledge Graph (Google), rather than an outright "no consensus" close. Editors appear divided on whether Knowledge Graph
is sufficiently distinct from Knowledge graph
to distinguish the two topics, but generally agree that the current title is not ideal because Google Knowledge Graph
is not the correct name of the feature. This is a formal request to amend your close; otherwise, I will file an appeal at WP:MR. Thank you. InfiniteNexus (talk) 12:39, 25 June 2025 (UTC)
- After reading through the essay and the discussion again, I agree with you, and I have now moved the article. ―Howard • 🌽33 13:12, 25 June 2025 (UTC)

The Gross Clinic is an 1875 oil-on-canvas painting by the American artist Thomas Eakins. It measures 8 ft by 6.5 ft (240 cm by 200 cm). The painting depicts Samuel D. Gross (July 8, 1805 – May 6, 1884), a seventy-year-old American medical professor, dressed in a black frock coat and lecturing a group of Jefferson Medical College students in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The painting is based on a surgery, witnessed by Eakins, in which Gross treated a young man for an infected femur. Gross is pictured here performing a conservative operation, as opposed to the amputation normally carried out at the time. Eakins included a self-portrait in the form of a student with a white cuffed sleeve sketching or writing, at the right-hand edge of the painting, next to the tunnel railing. The Gross Clinic has been restored three times, most recently in 2010, and is currently jointly owned by the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.

The Atari video game burial was a 1983 mass burial of unsold video game cartridges, consoles, and computers, undertaken by the American video game and home computer company Atari, Inc., at a landfill site in the U.S. state of New Mexico. The burial occurred amid the video game crash of 1983, at the end of a disastrous fiscal year that saw Atari being sold off by its parent company Warner Communications. It included 700,000 cartridges of various games, including unsold copies of E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982), one of the largest video game failures in history. For several decades after the burial was first reported, there were doubts as to its veracity and scope, and it was frequently dismissed as an urban legend. In 2013 and 2014, an excavation was carried out by Fuel Industries, Microsoft, the New Mexico government and others, which revealed discarded games and hardware. Only a small fraction, about 1,300 cartridges, were recovered, with a portion reserved for curation and the rest auctioned to raise money for a museum to commemorate the burial. This photograph shows packaging for cartridges of the video games E.T. and Centipede in situ at the excavation site. Photograph credit: taylorhatmaker

Suggestion for List of national flags of sovereign states
[edit]I refer to the List of national flags of sovereign states article often, but there is one improvement I would suggest making. Several of the flags include white in a section of the flag that includes it's boarder. Russia is a good example. Since the background of the falg column is #FFFFFF, you can not actually see the whole flag. I was going to change the markup to start each cell with a "!" instead of a "|" which makes it grey, but that also declares it as a header, which it is not. Anyway, didn't want to mess with it and felt that it would be better to ask you directly what you thought. I will also add this to the talk page. Thank you. • Bobsd • (talk) 21:15, 18 August 2025 (UTC)
- I don't manage that page anymore. It is up to whoever is bold. ―Howard • 🌽33 14:40, 5 September 2025 (UTC)

Che Guevara (14 May 1928 – 9 October 1967) was an Argentine Marxist revolutionary, physician, author, guerrilla leader, diplomat, politician and military theorist. A major figure of the Cuban Revolution, his stylized visage has become a countercultural symbol of rebellion and global insignia in popular culture. This photograph of Guevara, titled Guerrillero Heroico, was taken by Alberto Korda in 1960 at a memorial service for victims of the La Coubre explosion in Havana, Cuba.
