The 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake should definitely be included in Selected anniversaries, as it was "among the deadliest disasters in modern history". Phoenix2 02:34, 23 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

2004 Indian Ocean earthquake killed 2,30,000 people. The Wikipedia article is 86,737 bytes long, and quite detailed. Should certainly be included. Jose Mathew C (talk) 07:49, 26 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

USSR

[edit]

IMHO, "Union of Soviet Socialist Republics" looks stupid by itself (if you know that term, you know it means USSR, and vice versa), more so when it's a link, more so when the links are generally bold (instead of the initials appearing bolded, the rest of the words appear unbolded). Can we make it "Union of Societ Socialist Republics" or at worst "Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (the USSR)"? Or even "Soviet Union (the USSR)"?

And the wording is unclear. Took me a second to realize that you were talking about the collapse of the USSR, not about some random technical action by the Supreme Soviet. What about simply "[[1991] - Fall of the Soviet Union: The Supreme Soviet officially dissolved itself."?

Battle of Trenton

[edit]

The Battle of Trenton was fought on the morning of December 26. It can cause confusion with readers by listing it on December 25. (e.g. Special:Diff/600294847) Also, the crossing of the Delaware was completed in the early, pre-dawn hours of December 26, not the 25th. Consider listing both on the 26th.

@Zeete: OK, point taken.  Done. howcheng {chat} 01:17, 25 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
