"Opened fire on schoolchildren" should point to Soweto riots, not just one victim. Night Gyr 23:07, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your suggestion. I've changed the link accordingly. --PFHLai 16:15, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The link to Nara river in Gujarat incorrectly points to the Nara canal in Pakistan. It should point to Nara River (India).--Pere prlpz (talk) 16:26, 16 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

What, no mention of Bloomsday?

[edit]

I was trying to remember why June 16 rang a bell, but it was only after giving up on WP that Bloomsday finally came to me. This is (or used to be pre-sequester) a big deal in bookstore towns like Berkeley. Sparafucil (talk) 21:02, 16 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Sparafucil: There are two maintenance tags on that article, and per the rules, it could not be included. —howcheng {chat} 02:58, 18 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Next year, I hope; I tryed fixing some bare links. There doesn't seem to be a category for " 'yellow'-level or more severe article issue tags". Does replacing ((more citations needed section)) with a few ((fact)) tags change the temperature any? Sparafucil (talk) 19:09, 18 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Sparafucil: It depends. The point of the rules are to make sure we are featuring articles of good quality, so if you're trying to game the system by saying "Oh there are no more yellow-level tags on it" then that's not gonna fly (the rules do state that a large number of ((fact)) tags relative to article length can also disqualify it). But if you can source some of that content and leave ((fact)) for where you can't, then that might be good enough, especially if the things that need citations aren't really that important anyway (in which case, why not just delete them). Hope that helps. —howcheng {chat} 06:37, 20 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Of course. The page doesn't seem very active, but there's a year to see if anyone takes up a Talk: suggestion, and if the cruft doesn't get footnoted in the meantime I'll zap it next spring. Sparafucil (talk) 21:46, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
