On This Day...."Alexander Mackenzie was the first recorded human" to travel across Canada, not only the first European. Should be changed to first recorded HUMAN.Giantfrogs (talk) 02:11, 22 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Thanks. howcheng {chat} 03:31, 22 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]


On This Day.... "Scottish-Canadian explorer Alexander Mackenzie" Alexander Mackenzie is stated as being Scottish-Canadian, which is incorrect. He was Scottish, plain and simple. He lived in the area that is now Canada for a person, and largely during the time when that area was not yet considered 'Canada,' but then returned to Scotland. 172.218.93.102 (talk) 20:10, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

I agree. In my opinion "Scottish explorer and scientist Alexander Mackenzie" would be enough to explain the combination of the context together with his political position ( member of the 4 th Legislative Assembly of Lower Canada ). Askedonty (talk) 00:13, 23 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Surely more of a DYK than SA/OTD? I consider it kind of trivial for here. Awien (talk) 23:15, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently it was a big deal in Brazil. US/UK crime stories get featured all the time, so it's fair to put in a Brazilian crime story. howcheng {chat} 04:28, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings and felicitations. In "* 1975Stanley Forman took the Pulitzer Prize-winning photo" please change "-winning" to "–winning" per MOS:ENDASH. —DocWatson42 (talk) 08:21, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

DocWatson42, no, a hyphen is correct as the term is a compound modifier per MOS:HYPHEN. --- Coffeeandcrumbs 13:23, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Coffeeandcrumbs: Actually, since "Pulitzer Prize" is a compound in and of itself[1] MOS:SUFFIXDASH applies and is the reason for my request. (I apologize—I should have been more specific from the start.) —DocWatson42 (talk) 03:34, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
