The following should be on this date:

• 1889 - The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community was founded by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad in British India.

Protected edit request on 23 March 2014

• 1889 - The Ahmadiyya Muslim community was founded by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad in British India.

I think is is one of the more relevant and better pages that should be added. Many Thanks! --Peaceworld 09:23, 23 March 2014 (UTC)

@Howcheng: can we have Ahmadiyya? it's been there only once, and some of the other have been here several times? Thanks.--Peaceworld 09:40, 21 March 2016 (UTC)

I have edited it.--Peaceworld 13:34, 21 March 2016 (UTC)

And I undid you, because we need greater chronological and geographical diversity. Bhagat Singh hasn't been on in 5 years and was in 1889, so Ahmadiyya wasw going to have to make way. Sorry. —howcheng {chat} 16:41, 21 March 2016 (UTC)

@Howcheng: Can we have Ahmadiyya this year please?--Peaceworld 13:43, 21 March 2017 (UTC)

Is Zimbardo’s 90th Bday in 2023 OTD Worthy?

Philip Zimbardo will be 90 years old on March 23. Legend in psychology, infamous for prison experiment, legacy of work. Worth teaching people about (in all the Psych 101 classes). Not sure what decision process is involved. Wanted to submit the suggestion. DrMel (talk) 01:10, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
