EastEnders[edit]

The British soap opera EastEnders celebrates its 25th anniversary this year on this date. Is it ok for it to be included? AnemoneProjectors (talk) 19:41, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As of now, it all depends (based on what is currently being discussed on WT:TFAR#Old Trafford (19 February 2010; 8/11 points?)) on if an EastEnders-related article actually gets approved for Wikipedia:Today's featured article/February 19, 2010. Then it would be basically the same reason why the 20th anniv of The Simpsons was not posted on the same day as when Homer Simpson was selected for Wikipedia:Today's featured article/December 17, 2009: an event is generally not posted if it is also the subject of this year's scheduled featured article.

I thought that might be the case, but I think I'll go for 26 February for TFA. AnemoneProjectors (talk) 21:26, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It'll be the 25th anniversary of the launch of the first module of Mir this year, could this be included? Colds7ream (talk) 13:06, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

70th Anniversary of the Darwin Bombings[edit]

Its the third most important event in Australian history and yet book burnings in Canada are considered more historical???!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Collingwood26 (talkcontribs) 03:43, 19 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please see item 1 of the FAQ (above). Bombing of Darwin happened to be on last year, so it's off the Main Page this year. If we're speaking about 70th anniversaries, that's also the case for Japanese American internment, one of the most shameful events in recent US history, but as one WW2 event is already listed, I'm reluctant to add another. The other factor that comes into play is that we tend to give preference to articles that are making their first appearance (as is the case of If Day) over those being repeated. howcheng {chat} 09:57, 19 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No you tend to give preference to Americans, I can see how much you hate Australians. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.189.192.240 (talk) 03:05, 21 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

<sarcasm>Oh yes, Aussies killed my dog. That's the source of my undying hatred for Australians. That, and the Wiggles.</sarcasm> If you hadn't noticed, If Day was a Canadian event. And besides, I wasn't the one who added it. howcheng {chat} 17:14, 21 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Cathy Lane[edit]

Cathy Lane b. 2/19/1965 entry redirects to an entry for "The Patty Duke Show." Ms. Lane, a competitive swimmer, happens to have the same name as one of two characters played by Patty Duke on the show. Either an entry should be created for the real Cathy Lane or her name ought to be deleted from the list.```` — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.57.43.201 (talk) 05:10, 19 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This applies to the February 19 article (not this page), but I have removed the entry from the list. howcheng {chat} 09:57, 19 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
