== Suggested addition: American Hippo bill ==

I saw the article [[American Hippo bill]] in the Did You Know section of the main page recently. I think it may be unusual enough to merit inclusion in WP:UA, but I'm not sure what section it would belong in.

Classification of stations

Newhaven Marine railway station is in Places and infrastructure, but Wallsend Metro railway station is in Transport. As they're both British railway stations they should be in the same category, but I don't know which one. Your opinions? YttriumShrew, 04:27, 11 December 2019

Why is a type of cardiomyophathy in the "Phobias" section?

In the "Phobias" section, there's an entry for Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. I don't know where to put it, but it is most certainly in the wrong section. QuickQuokka [⁠talkcontribs] 19:29, 20 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Good catch, this article was there since February 2013! I moved it to the more general section "Medicine and health". Dsuke1998AEOS (talk) 20:07, 20 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Suggested additions

Should Wagatha Christie, Emmanuel Macron (for his personal life), and Laser Kiwi flag be added to this list? StellarHalo (talk) 22:44, 24 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

My thoughts:
  • The first: weak no. Other than the name, there is nothing unusual in this case;
  • The second: definitely no. It's not obvious to anyone looking from this list what is unusual in him. Lots of people marry to others much younger or older than them. This is not "unusual";
  • The third: perhaps, especially because of the design.

Semi-protected edit request on 27 December 2022

I request the permission of editing this Wikipedia page. To be more specific, the part of "Society, Economic and Law". O recomeço (talk) 01:11, 27 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@O recomeço: I won't formally respond to your request, but you need to specify which change you intend to propose to that section, if you don't want for your request to be declined. Dsuke1998AEOS (talk) 01:24, 27 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: requests for decreases to the page protection level should be directed to the protecting admin or to Wikipedia:Requests for page protection if the protecting admin is not active or has declined the request. - FlightTime (open channel) 01:25, 27 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have the intention of incluing the article " I love Bees" into the videogame section of Unusual articles. O recomeço (talk) 18:48, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@O recomeço: Go ahead, only the main page is semi-protected, the subpage is not. But please have in mind WP:BRD, if your edit ends up being reverted. Best, Dsuke1998AEOS (talk) 00:27, 30 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
