[edit] Otto Ludwig

This list contains the birthday of Otto Ludwig. However, his page notes his birthday as being February 11. Would someone with more Otto Ludwig resources mind figuring out the correct birthday and updating things? Cww 03:52, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] give red links a chance

I saw in the history of the 12 February article that some user has deleted a red link. I think thats irreasonable. red links encourage people to make new articles. so give red links a chance. thank you. Lenin1870to1924 (talk) 14:16, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Link removed because it was not his only film, and it's not common to link a filmmaker to his films in the date articles. Also, for the most part, bait redlinks are not included in date articles. -- Mufka ^{(u) (t) (c)} 14:26, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

1- it is common to mention a filmmaker films in "today in history" websites. I checked out the case after i read your message here and I understood that it is not common in wikipedia. why musics bands but not films ? it is irreasonable. but I accept it as an un-written Wikipedia guideline and act according to it. I suggest you (people in Wikiproject Days of the year) to write the policy about Births and Deaths secondary links clearly. 2- I quickly turned the redlink I made into a good link. I made an article for it. I would act according to this guideline in the future but i still assume redlinks harmless. redlinks would prevent some events and people in Calendar pages to be forgotten at all. being in red is better than not being at all.
