An excellent addition by Zzyzx11. Very interesting.... Maybe the letter 'c' should be dropped. :-) --PFHLai 14:31, 16 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

It's defiantly interesting, but should quirky technicalities of history take precedent over events with major historical impacts? --Arctic Gnome (talkcontribs) 22:48, 17 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

1895 Treaty of Shimonoseki

edit
  • Maguan?

Seems kinda weird that a treaty signed in a Japanese city is translated using the Chinese transliteration of the place name? (And this is a Sinophile talking :P) Kelvinc 08:34, 17 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

  • 'unequal'

The treaty is unequal, without the quotes. That's a fact. Or, the other method: if you think the unequal treaty is a term, as in the article linked, then quote both words: 'unequal treaty'. Aran|heru|nar 11:21, 17 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Both problems have been fixed. In future, please use WP:ERRORS. Response is usually quicker there. Thanks. --PFHLai 17:28, 17 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Checking the list

edit

@Howcheng: Ineligible articles are still ineligible while one of the articles and Canute IV of Denmark in the eligible list has "CN" tags which needs to be addressed. Public holidays in Syria cites to no reference and has to be moved to the Ineligible list. Mhhossein (talk) 12:25, 14 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

A few {{cn}} tags are fine. There's no hard number as to at what point we say no – that's a judgement call, based on how well-referenced the rest of the article is. Both of these look OK to me. howcheng {chat} 05:58, 15 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

Star Wars should be deleted from this day and left on May 25. howcheng {chat} 04:21, 25 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
Countermand the above suggestion, because May 25 has more eligible articles than this one. howcheng {chat} 01:05, 16 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
