Today is Mother's Day and International Women's Day in various countries, but the IWD article is not posted because it is tagged for cleanup/sourcing issues. Nikkimaria (talk) 16:49, 8 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Frank Avery Hutchins ineligible?[edit]

Out of curiosity, why is Frank Avery Hutchins listed as "ineligible" in the staging area? I reread the Selected Anniversaries rules, but I don't see anything about featuring in DYK being cause to disqualify a page from featuring on Selected Anniversaries.
