Edit request

I need to get at this page to change a redirect ("Wladislaus I of Poland" to "Władysław I the Elbow-high"). How do I go about requesting this? --Elonka 01:02, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Done. Thanks for pointing this out. Leaving a message on the talk page of these Sel. Anniv. template is fine. I usually check the talk page a few days before the template appears on MainPage. You may also try {{Editprotected}}. Hope this helps. -- PFHLai 22:46, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Wannsee conference link

As far as I can tell from the linked page, the proper spelling is Wannsee Conference. Every single time the entire title is listed on the page, it is with both words capitalized. --Maelnuneb (Talk) 20:50, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Wannsee conference

The entry on the Wannsee conference reads "At the Wannsee Conference held in the Berlin suburb of Wannsee, senior Nazi German officials decided the "Final Solution to the Jewish Question", accelerating The Holocaust." My understanding was that the conference was not to decide anything as the decision had already been taken, but to inform the various civil service heads what had already been decided.

Inauguration Day

Can we put Inauguration Day on here? It only occurs every 4 years, so it won't be a huge thing. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 19:02, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

Unfortunately, the article has a yellow-level {{more footnotes}} maintenance tag on it, making it ineligible for inclusion. —howcheng {chat} 08:37, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

2015 notes

• 20th January 2015 is the 750th anniversary of the first English Parliament. However the article De Montfort's Parliament is currently marked as ineligible because it's tagged with refimprove. I asked on the relevant talk pages for assistamce in cleaning this up, once omplete can this article be reconsidered for selection? The BBC [1] are planning a "Democracy Day" of live events, discussions and debate, produced in partnership with the Speaker’s Office of the House of Commons, including broadcasts from inside Westminster. Whizz40 (talk) 23:59, 20 December 2014 (UTC)

Improvements have been made to the De Montfort's Parliament article by Hchc2009 and the tag removed. Howcheng, looks like you do most of the scheduling, does this look good to move to eligible? Would you support including this for the 2015 anniversary? [2] Whizz40 (talk) 20:48, 21 December 2014 (UTC)

Like. Go ahead and move it to the Eligible section. —howcheng {chat} 03:14, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

Before I looked here I had been bold and moved this to the actual list, adding an image as well. Anyway, it looks as if maybe I wasn't way too bold! Thincat (talk) 20:36, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

Pole of Inaccessibility

Hello. Pole of Inaccessibility (Antarctic research station) would be a more appropiate link than the generic Pole of inaccessibility. Could someone replace?--200.223.199.146 (talk) 10:53, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
