Assassination of Heydrich

[edit]

I would like to suggest the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich (one of the most important men in Nazi Germany) in the Operation Anthropoid. I think it is important, interesting ...ideal for selection in anniversaries;) szalas

I like this. Will like this more if the Operation Anthropoid page is rewritten to include more details on what happened that day. Right now, the date is not even mentioned. I suppose we have about half a year to do this.... -- PFHLai 20:41, 4 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, thanx;) I´ll try to expand the article in next months. sz
ready;)

How about this, Szalas ?

Reinhard Heydrich

HMS Princess Irene

There is consensus for the wording that was originally posted. The wording was changed, and I've now restored the original. Mjroots (talk) 05:10, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Stephen: - You're now getting into WP:EW territory. There is clear consensus for "obliterated", which descibes the situaton. Mjroots (talk) 06:32, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Where is the clear consensus to overrule that the blurb defers to the article, where obliterated was not mentioned. Stephen 06:49, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
But, as I have already explained, the article states " At 11:14 GMT on 27 May, Princess Irene exploded and disintegrated." Although "obliterated" is not used, the meaning is clear enough. If it makes you happy, I will change disintegrated to was obliterated. Mjroots (talk) 07:36, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I asked where you saw a clear consensus, which is patently untrue? Stephen 09:12, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
TRM objected, myself and Woody supported at WP:ERRORS, per the link in my original post here, and also on your talk page. That's a clear 2-1 in favour of allowing obliterated. Mjroots (talk) 13:56, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
And I object, so that's not a consensus is it? Stephen 22:20, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

2023 request

[edit]

I would like to suggest we include the Benton fireworks disaster in this year's entry, given it will be the 40th anniversary of this tragedy. Bneu2013 (talk) 20:16, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Update - I have gone ahead and added it. Bneu2013 (talk) 20:28, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Good work Bneu2013. If you know of any more upcoming anniversaries or are interesting helping to refresh upcoming days, please do get stuck in - Dumelow (talk) 06:18, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. I can't think of any that are coming up real soon right off the top of my head, but I will be sure to stay involved. Bneu2013 (talk) 20:59, 26 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

2024 request

[edit]

I would like to suggest including Battle of Tsushima (1905) in the list for this year. On 27 May 1905, 11 battleships and 9 cruisers of the Imperial Russian Navy met 5 battleships and 29 cruisers of the Imperial Japanese Navy in the Sea of Japan. The decisive result of this battle ended the Russo-Japanese War. Did you know this is the only 'decisive' battle between two battleship fleets in the history?
