March checks

Below is a link for swapping special occasions for April (in case any of them are March dates) and the list for swapping hooks for March. OTD tries to prepare sets two weeks ahead of time. New OTD swappers are always welcome; editors can post below if want feedback on their work. Thanks for everyone who participates! Z1720 (talk) 19:37, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Done; I felt the current image is rather atmospheric, but if anyone feels it is too unclear at Main Page size, feel free to swap it out for Phan Xích Long or Valeri Polyakov. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 16:41, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Half millennium anniversary of New York City

Add when non-Native Americans first saw New York Harbor+land that became New York City? An Italian captain of a French ship trying to find a route to Asia April 17th 1524. They named NYC's harbor bridge after him. Sagittarian Milky Way (talk) 21:23, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tomorrow

I proposed Bach's Du Hirte Israel, höre, BWV 104 for tomorrow on its 300th anniversary of the first performance (by date). I saw that nobody looked at the last days, and wonder who could check the addition. I am reluctant to place in into the actual set myself. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:32, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Gerda Arendt: I didn't see this in time. In the future, consider just adding it directly. Per WP:OTD, For unprotected days, go ahead and add them directly to the project page... There really aren't many editors managing OTD, so feel free to be bold. As it is, the items for this day were basically the same as last year's. —Bagumba (talk) 15:47, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, Bagumba, will do just a bit sooner. When I decided to do that, the page was already protected. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:39, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Gerda Arendt: I meant you could have directly placed it at the "live" location when you originally added it to April 23. I can understand being cautious. But really, OTD needs more active participants too. Best. —Bagumba (talk) 02:18, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I meant the same. When I arrived at the decision to move it there, two hours before midnight, it was already protected, - I don't know for how long. Next time I'll place it there the first time. With Bach having composed a cantata almost every week, there are more. Just this one is especially wonderful, - perhaps listen ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:37, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Eastern Orthodox Good Friday

Would someone please be able to add Good Friday (Eastern Orthodoxy) to the OTD box. Today, May 3, it is Orthodox Good Friday, one of the most holiest liturgical days of the Orthodox calendar. When it was Western Christianity's Good Friday, I believe it was in OTD. May 5, obviously, is Orthodox Easter as well. Thanks! - Therealscorp1an (talk) 09:55, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
