From today's featured article

SMS Hindenburg was a battlecruiser of the Imperial German Navy, the third ship of the Derfflinger class. She was named in honor of Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg, the victor of the Battle of Tannenberg and the Battle of the Masurian Lakes, as well as Supreme Commander of the German armies from 1916. The ship was the last capital ship of any type built for the German navy during World War I. Hindenburg took part in short fleet operations as the flagship of I Scouting Group in 1917–18, but saw no major action. The proposed final sortie of the fleet in the last weeks of the war ended when the crews of the capital ships mutinied. Hindenburg was interned with other German battlecruisers at Scapa Flow in November 1918. Rear Admiral Ludwig von Reuter ordered that the ships be scuttled on 21 June 1919; Hindenburg was the last of the ships to sink. She was raised in 1930 and broken up for scrap the following two years. (This article is part of a featured topic: Battlecruisers of Germany.) (Full article...)

From tomorrow's featured article

Value theory studies the nature, sources, and types of values. Value is the worth of something, usually understood as covering both positive and negative degrees corresponding to the terms good and bad. Values influence many human endeavors related to emotion, decision-making, and action. Value theorists distinguish between intrinsic and instrumental value. An entity has intrinsic value if it is good in itself, independent of external factors. An entity has instrumental value if it is useful as a means leading to other good things. Various debates examine whether pleasure, desire, or something else is the source of intrinsic value. Value realists state that values have objective existence. Anti-realists reject this, with some seeing values as subjective human creations and others viewing value statements as meaningless. Value theory is an interdisciplinary field and its methods range from reliance on intuitions and thought experiments to the analysis of language and surveys. Its roots lie in antiquity as reflections on the highest good that humans should pursue. (Full article...)

Mario Party: The Top 100 is a 2017 party video game developed by NDcube and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 3DS. It is the fifth handheld game in the Mario Party series, as well as the third and final Mario Party game for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems. The game was released in North America in November 2017, and elsewhere in December. Mario Party: The Top 100 is primarily a compilation of 100 minigames from across the series, specifically ones from the home console installments. It offers several game modes centered around playing the minigames, including a mode that sees traditional Mario Party gameplay with up to four characters from the Mario franchise, controlled by humans or artificial intelligence, competing in an interactive board game. The game received mixed reviews, with general praise for its premise as a minigame compilation and criticism toward its lack of content aside from the minigames. A similar entry, Mario Party Superstars, which also features 100 minigames from the home console games, was released for the Nintendo Switch in 2021. (Full article...)
