Today's featured article for October 13, 2024
"The Riddle of the Sphinx" is the third episode of the third series of the British dark comedy anthology television programme Inside No. 9. Written by the programme's creators, Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith, and directed by Guillem Morales, it first aired on 28 February 2017 on BBC Two. It stars Alexandra Roach as Nina, a young woman seeking answers to the Varsity cryptic crossword, Pemberton as Professor Squires, who sets the crossword using the pseudonym Sphinx, and Shearsmith as Dr Tyler. The same crossword was published in The Guardian on the day the episode aired, and the episode is filled with references to the puzzle. Influences for the episode include Anthony Shaffer's 1970 play Sleuth, the works of Anton Chekhov, and the 1989 film The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover. Critics lauded the writing and the precise attention to detail in the production. Roach's performance was praised, as was the direction of Morales. (Full article...)

Protected edit request on 13 October 2014

{{edit protected}} I propose the addition of Eid al-Ghadeer. This day is an important day for Muslims specially shia muslims. Mhhossein (talk) 19:19, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

Not done: @Mhhossein: I'd say that this was a worthy entry, but there's a problem: there's no mention in the article that the festival falls on 13 October this year. We would need a citation for this in the article before it could be added to the selected anniversaries page. — Mr. Stradivarius ^{♪ talk ♪} 21:55, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

@Mr. Stradivarius: Thanks for your attention. This event is a non Gregorian-based one and so it's date changes every year. Even, every year, it's date is different in most of the countries based on their geographical location and because it is date is calculated based on lunar system. However, in many countries, 13 October coincides with this important event this year. Mhhossein (talk) 02:21, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

Take a look at how it's done on Eid al-Fitr. You would need to do something similar. Thanks. —howcheng {chat} 15:40, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

@Howcheng: Thanks for adding it to the anniversaries but it was late and next year it will not be on the same date (13 October). Mhhossein (talk) 03:28, 28 October 2014 (UTC)

I have it on so that next year I'll know to move it to the right date. —howcheng {chat} 06:12, 28 October 2014 (UTC)
