1744 – War of the Austrian Succession[edit]

Currently reads "1744 – War of the Austrian Succession: British ships began attacking the Spanish rear of a France–Spanish combined fleet in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast near Toulon, France.", but should read "....a Franco–Spanish combined fleet...", per Battle of Toulon (1744) which reads "Strategic Franco-Spanish victory" in the infobox.

This is the right place to mention that, right? -M.Nelson (talk) 02:40, 22 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Cash robbery[edit]

The robbery section should cash robbery as £292m of bonds were stolen on a London street in 1990 [1]

500th anniversary of the death of America's name[edit]

No second appearance for 2011 Christchurch earthquake[edit]

Can someone tell me why there wasn't a second appearance for the 2011 Christchurch earthquake (last appearance was 2013). 2016 happens to be the (significant) 5th year anniversary of the disaster. 5 years onwards, the wikipedia page for it is one of the most well documented for a natural disaster, at least from what I've read. Here's hoping the same thing doesn't happen come March 11th, the 5th anniversary of that tragedy surely deserves some consideration for home page feature... right? --CrashesToAshes (talk) 10:29, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Five years is not a significant anniversary (those start at 10). That's why the 2006 robbery item is in there, which means that in the interest of chronological diversity, the earthquake gets omitted so that we won't have two 21st-century items. —howcheng {chat} 16:45, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Excuse me for not having read up on all of the rules, but I wonder whether the sixth anniversary could be considered relevant because it will see the unveiling of the Canterbury Earthquake National Memorial? By that day, I plan to have that article at GA class (obviously, it won't have gone through a review by then, but I will have submitted it for review). The 'on this day' line could thus link to that article;
Can't use it like that, as the unveiling of the memorial is not (yet) a historic event by itself, but the earthquake article is included now. —howcheng {chat} 08:28, 22 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

2019 notes[edit]

Is 2014 Ukrainian revolution still considered "ineligible"? The article has been stable for years now and no issues are mentioned in the head of the page. I would like to see the page moved to "eligible". It was an event that eventually led to a different geopolitical landscape then (that we had) prior. — Yulia Romero • Talk to me! 22:47, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Yulia Romero: Unfortunately, 2014 Ukrainian revolution § Timeline is maintenance tagged, so yes it is still ineligible. —howcheng {chat} 04:06, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thank for the fast response Howcheng. Yes, I see now that the section 2014 Ukrainian revolution § Timeline needs some work. Other parts of the article look to me to be too detailed for a Wikipedia article (too). Unfortunately I lack time these days too give the article a good maintenance job. — Yulia Romero • Talk to me! 14:14, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

2022 notes[edit]

I suppose it's too late to note that February 22 of this year is a palindrome day: 22-02-2022. There won't be another for quite some years. – Reidgreg (talk) 07:07, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
