Reverse of the double sovereign The double sovereign is a gold coin of the United Kingdom with a nominal value of two pounds sterling (£2). It features the reigning monarch on its obverse and, most often, Benedetto Pistrucci's depiction of Saint George and the Dragon on the reverse (pictured). It was rarely issued in the first century and a half after its debut in 1820, usually in a new monarch's coronation year or to mark the institution of a new coinage portrait of the monarch. In addition to the usual coinage in Britain, specimens were struck at Australia's Sydney Mint in 1887 and 1902. Most often struck as a proof coin, the double sovereign has been issued for circulation in only four years, and few examples worn from commercial use are known. It is now a collector and bullion coin, and has been struck by the Royal Mint most years since 1980. In some years, it has not been issued and the Royal Mint instead placed gold versions of the commemorative £2 piece in the annual gold proof sets. (Full article...)

The Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) is an evergreen conifer species in the pine family, Pinaceae, which is native to western North America. The trees grow to a height of around 20 to 100 metres (70 to 330 feet) and commonly reach 2.4 metres (8 feet) in diameter. The largest coast Douglas firs regularly live for more than 500 years, with the oldest specimens more than 1,300 years old. The cones are pendulous and differ from true firs as they have persistent scales. The cones have distinctive long, trifid (three-pointed) bracts, which protrude prominently above each scale. The cones become tan when mature, measuring 6 to 10 centimetres (2+1⁄2 to 4 inches) long for coastal Douglas firs. This photograph shows a young female cone of the variety Pseudotsuga menziesii var. glauca (Rocky Mountain Douglas-fir), cultivated near Keila, Estonia.

I italicized the "Recent Days" section in order to make it consistent with the changes I made to the "recently featured" format. It is now easier to distinguish and consistent. Sure you could have distinguished it before, but the key to usability is to distinguish something before thinking about it and without any effort. Consistency is also important because it relates the the former, inconsistent things require a conscious process and are a stressor.

There are also 3 recent days because 3 is the classic number for such things on Wikipedia and pretty much everywhere else as well. It looked odd and inconsistent to have 3 "recently fatured" and only 2 "recent days". I hope you will consider my changes with a critical eye and only revert if you came up with a better solution, not just because its different from the standard. --Exigentsky 23:55, Jun 5, 2004 (UTC)

What about 40 years to Six Days war?

SharkHelmo 09:07, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Indeed seeing as its all over the news. Abel29a 13:28, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Looking back at the edit history, it seems that the Six-Day War reference was hidden for POV issues. While that particular reference may indeed have POV issues, I agree that the Six-Day War must be mentioned in one way or another --Colonel Cow 13:46, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Looks like Operation Focus is the option. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 19:06, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

June 5: Constitution Day in Denmark

Father's Day coincides with Constitution Day (Danish: Grundlovsdag), a more important holiday in Denmark (all shops stay closed on that day and political meetings take place). I believe that the note should either be changed to, "Father's Day and Constitution Day in Denmark"', or simply, "Constitution Day in Denmark".

I also believe the image used should be the Flag of Denmark. Peter (Talk page) 00:04, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

I see that the problem appears to be references. I can provide references that this day is celebrated in Denmark and I will add these to the article. I'm also going to go ahead and reinstate Constitution Day to this page. --Peter (Talk page) 00:08, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

Comments-2016

I did some changes regarding the lists. @Howcheng: I wonder if we can include June 5, 1963 demonstrations in Iran this year! Mhhossein (talk) 13:08, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

We have a 1941 item and a 1976, so probably not this year. In fact, probably not next year either, since Six-Day War will be having its 50th anniversary. —howcheng {chat} 05:52, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
