Possible exchange

I would like it if Röhm scandal could appear between 1 and 13 March 2022, because that is the 90th anniversary of the main part of the scandal. I believe it's very likely to pass FAC before then. (t · c) buidhe 01:54, 2 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

OK, it will replace Coinage Act of 1873 when it does. I had that in there to provide some flexibility.--Wehwalt (talk) 03:02, 2 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It's now been promoted but doesn't have a blurb yet. I've never written a blurb but I could give it a go. (t · c) buidhe 03:18, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I've changed it and written a blurb. Feel free to alter the blurb but remember we're limited to 1,025 characters.--Wehwalt (talk) 15:42, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

March 3

Wehwalt reminder to update March 3 here, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 14:17, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nice, dee|ar

[edit]

Disappointing to see a picture of a deer on International Women's Day. It was suggested to me that "Why don't we bombard the main page with articles about women?" I mistakenly said "Nice, but we do that every year anyway!" Obviously its not "your" fault, but our fault. Still, disappointing. Victuallers (talk) 08:49, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Basically, three reasons: No one suggested one, I didn't think of it (though I am aware of the observance), and no one said anything once the schedule was posted over a month ago. Although it played no factor due to the above, it is our practice not to have the same theme for the same date every year, and this is the first time March 8 has not featured an article about a woman or women since 2015. Suggest adding something to WP:TFAP for next year.--Wehwalt (talk) 10:58, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
