On 12 July 1346, nine years after the start of the Hundred Years' War, an English army landed in Normandy, taking the French by surprise. The English marched south and then east, devastating the countryside, until the French attempted to halt them at Caen. The town was stormed in a morning and the English continued towards Paris, burning villages to within 2 miles of the city walls. Confronted by a French army they headed north, fought their way across the River Somme at Banchetaque, and turned to face the French in a prepared position at Crécy, where the French suffered a major defeat. The English then besieged the strongly fortified port of Calais; the French were unable to either relieve or supply it, and it fell after 11 months.

GamerPro64 and
Juhachi: The name of the lead article, and so of the proposed featured topic, has been changed - to Crécy campaign. I am unsure what, if any, changes need to be made to the nomination to reflect this. So, rather than risk making a hash of things, I am leaving it and flagging it up here. If there are things which I need to do, I would be grateful if you could let me know. Thanks.

Support: Comprehensive nomination in that it presents the four major confronts on French soil that are covered in the main article. So it's the full set, all at GA or above. Maybe just change to "Battle of Crécy" for the sake of consistency with the articles' text? Nitpicking, I know.

All storms of the 1988 Pacific hurricane season have become good articles, so I have nominated this for good topic. I did a brief run-through of all four articles and found them to be in good shape. As such, I think this merits good topic.
NoahTalk02:58, 30 June 2019 (UTC)reply
Support: Well-defined topic and scope, with all articles in the category at GA. The lead section of the overview article could stand to spell out the notable storms for the year. -

@
Bryanrutherford0: I added in information regarding deaths... Just note that this year was not very notable. Only 3 storms caused deaths and none had damage totals severe enough that they were reported to global organizations.
NoahTalk23:36, 30 June 2019 (UTC)reply
Right, I just mean that those three storms' names should probably be stated and wikilinked in the lead section; Seventeen-E/Debby isn't currently named or linked, as far as I can see. -

A family of eurypterids, one of the most diverse, numerous and longest lasting of them. I'm not sure what to do with the genus Unionopterus (also a GA), which may or may not belong to this clade.
SuperΨDro12:24, 25 June 2019 (UTC)reply
Support: Well-defined scope, with all the genera covered at GA quality. I'd leave out Unionopterus unless and until it is more clearly established to belong to this group by subsequent studies. -

Romania has participated in the
Eurovision Song Contest 20 times since its debut in
1994, and has placed in the top ten six times. Its best results were achieved by
Luminița Anghel and Sistem in
2005, and by
Paula Seling and
Ovi in
2010, who both finished in third place.
Support: Seems to include all the singles that made it into the final round at GA quality, with a FL main article. As a comment, I think the songs in the topic box are out of order, since, according to the list, "Zaleilah" should come before "It's My Life". Also, I find it confusing for the sequence to run across rows rather than down columns; I would arrange the entries the other way. -

The London station group is a
group of 18 railway stations served by the
National Rail network in
central London. Most are
terminal stations, either serving major national services or local commuter routes. A small number are through-stations that are considered terminals for ticketing purposes. All current stations in the group fall within
London fare zone 1. A ticket marked "London Terminals" allows travel to any station in the group via any permitted route, as determined by the
National Routeing Guide.
We had an abortive attempt at a good topic a few months back, because I'd only taken the current set of London station group entries to GA, and some of you wanted the entire lot. Well, with great assistance from
Amakuru, we've done it. Everything ever legitimately classed as a London terminal station, past and present.

Support - my "great assistance" was to work on one of the GAs and review one other, so most of the kudos has to go to Ritchie for this excellent set, but it was fun and I'm glad to have played a part anyway! —

This topic comprises all of the
torpedo cruisers built by the Italian
Regia Marina from the 1870s to the 1890s. They are in most cases, experimental vessels, and all were superseded by later
light cruisers that provided the same torpedo armament with better speed, armor, and gun armament. Many of the vessels were either in reserve or scrapped outright by the time Italy fought its first major war of the period, the
Italo-Turkish War of 1911–1912, but a few of the vessels saw action, primarily as gunfire support vessels. Several were still in service during World War I, albeit mostly in secondary roles like minelayers and training ships, and all were discarded in the early 1920s. Thanks to all who take the time to review the topic.
