[edit]Does International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition (commemorating the Haitian revolution) already appear on a different part of the main page? Sparafucil (talk) 22:26, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
- @Sparafucil: Unfortunately that article is ineligible to appear due to the big orange maintenance banner on it. —howcheng {chat} 18:02, 21 August 2021 (UTC)
- Yes, I now see you tagged it as it stood in 2015. The UN has quite a few pages and I've added two for the opening paragraphs; do you have specific reservations about detagging now? Sparafucil (talk) 04:17, 22 August 2021 (UTC)
Item 3 is the Hebron riot, which took place on Aug. 24: I'd suggest replacing "Hebron" with "Jerusalem" and linking 1929_Palestine_riots#Jerusalem_riots,_23_August Sparafucil (talk) 22:00, 22 August 2021 (UTC)
- @Sparafucil: Damn, a whole lot of people missed that. The other article looks fine now, but I didn't see your update until just now. Next time, use the {{ping}} template so I get notified. —howcheng {chat} 08:02, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
