The 2,000th FL designation is shared by the six lists simultaneously promoted by director Dabomb87:
Harrias, nominator of List of international cricket centuries by David Gower, had this to say about one of his FLs being among those designated as the 2,000th FL: "It's nice to be a part of history, but to be honest, writing the (joint) 2,000th is merely a number: each one of the 1,999 (ish) FLs promoted previously are just as important as these six. I think the FL process is actually among the better ones for recognised content on Wikipedia! The reviewing team is quite small, but tends to be pretty friendly, especially once you've experienced the FLC process a few times."
On 20 February, Giants2008 was made the third featured list director. Giants2008 joined Wikipedia in March 2008; he has made 9,000 edits, is a primary contributor to nine featured lists, and has been an active reviewer at both featured lists and featured articles. We asked him for his thoughts on being director and on the FL process: "I've always felt that reviewing lists provided a nice change of pace from checking standard articles. The lists at FLC have a wide variety of styles, and I enjoy working with nominators to get the most out of them. FLC is also cordial as a whole, which makes interacting with nominators easy. When I accepted the position as FL director, the most important factor for me was that I enjoy the reviewing that comes with it. There's a lot of extra work that comes with being a director, but since I like it I'm willing to devote the time necessary to ensuring the next 2,000 FLs are the highest quality possible."
In another milestone, arrangements have been made for one featured list and two featured sounds to appear on the main page each week.
Ten other lists have been promoted to featured status in the past two weeks: Latin Grammy Award for Producer of the Year List of 1952 Winter Olympics medal winners, The Simpsons (season 13), Grammy Award for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration, Grammy Award for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals, U.S. state reptiles, List of Oakland Athletics first-round draft picks, Venues of the 1994 Winter Olympics, Philadelphia Phillies all-time roster (E–F), and List of Oakland Athletics managers.

Not to be rude, but you really need to check this on a high-res monitor before publishing: on high screen resolutions, it takes a lot less space for the text, so you can end up with far too many images if you're not careful.
I've removed one image, but, really, I should have removed two, for layout reasons. Adam Cuerden ( talk) 01:33, 29 March 2011 (UTC) reply
I've just realized the internet has ruined me. The Lion Tower just looks like a face to me, while I am expecting a funny capshun on the cat. Great pictures though! Reso lute 02:44, 29 March 2011 (UTC) reply
