What does this image have to do with the selected articles? RickK | Talk 05:34, 14 Mar 2004 (UTC)

It shows directly-elected U.S. senators. Godiva would be a better image<G>. -- Nunh-huh 05:40, 14 Mar 2004 (UTC)

[edit] from WP:ERRORS

May 31 is not "Independence Day" in South Africa. It was the date of the Treaty of Vereeneging ending the Boer War (1902), the date of the formation of the Union of South Africa from four British colonies (1910) and the date the Union became the Republic of South Africa (1961). The date was a public holiday as Republic Day until 1994. South Africa gained independence following the passing of the Statute of Westminster in the British parliament on 11 December 1931, a date never formally celebrated with a holiday. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Brutus2 (talk • contribs) 13:25, 31 May 2006.

It's not on Public holidays in South Africa. Let's remove it from the Main Page. -- 199.71.174.100 21:18, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Joan of Arc

Forgot to add, Joan of Arc was burned on this day after finding her guilty of heresy.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Phu2734 (talk • contribs).

Joan of Arc is currently already featured on the July 7 selected anniversaries page. Wikipedia's selected anniversaries guidelines states that "Ideally, any particular selected article should only be listed (be an emboldened entry) once in this queue." Therefore, would you like me to remove the July 7 entry that mentions that she was posthumously acquitted of heresy? Or revert your edit here? Zzyzx11 (Talk) 05:08, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
