re: "Denmark–Norway" in 1472[edit]

Moved from WP:ERRORS

The Main Page today states that Scotland annexed the Orkney and Shetland Islands from Denmark-Norway in 1472. Actually, the state that ceded these islands was the Kalmar Union of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden.

Not exactly. The Orkney and Shetland articles agree that Christian I of Denmark ceded the islands, and his article says he lost control of Sweden in 1464. Art LaPella (talk) 21:20, 20 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
But Denmark–Norway was 'formed' in 1536, well after 1472. --199.71.174.100 (talk) 21:59, 20 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It wasn't "Denmark, Norway and Sweden" either. Would you prefer something like "Denmark and Norway", the phrase used at Shetland#Pawned to Scotland? Or "Christian I, in his capacity as king of Norway", as used at Orkney#Scottish rule? Art LaPella (talk) 23:02, 20 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dozens of Euromaidan anti-government protesters died in in Ukraine's capital Kiev, many reportedly killed by snipers on 20 February 2014. I think this should be placed in the "Staging area" of the Selected anniversaries of February 20. — Yulia Romero • Talk to me! 14:55, 19 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Although tragic, I'm not sure that this event of 21 deaths is the most noteworthy in the series of events of Euromaidan. Perhaps the removal of Yanukovych would be a more symbolic entry. In any case I suggest this would benefit from further discussion. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 15:07, 19 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
PS, I see you have now added this to Wikipedia:Selected anniversaries/February 22, which I support. So I am deactivating this request here for now. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 15:10, 19 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I agree; the removal of Yanukovych is a better entry. And it will not be good to have many Euromaidan-events as "Selected anniversaries (in Wikipedia)". — Yulia Romero • Talk to me! 18:52, 19 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Howcheng: Can I ask you to put death of Fatimah, Mohammad prophet's daughter as observation for tomorrow? (Twelver Shi'a, especially Iranians, hold ceremonies every year for 20 days in Jumada al-awwal to commemorate the anniversary of the martyrdom of Fatimah. Mourners march in procession through the streets to reaffirm their allegiance to the ideals of Fatima). Thanks! Saff V. (talk) 07:56, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Saff V.: The article needs to have a section about the celebration, which is missing right now. Otherwise, readers will not understand why we are listing the article. Thanks. howcheng {chat} 18:48, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
