The actual Featured articles

<center><big><big><big>'''07'''</big></big></big></Center>
       
'''Name of featured biography or item''' short description about the featured biography or item. It is recommended to use the summary section of the main article about this featured biography or item, as that will give a basic description. 

If the wikipedia project does not have an active community, which would customarily institute a voting process to select featured articles based on an a community quality framework, then the current administrator or active editor can select the articles to be featured on the main page. Even in that case, it is recommended that some kind of history of this selection be kept either in the village pump or on the talk page of the featured article portal.
