Wikipedia talk:Selected anniversaries/December 26

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is the talk page for making suggestions or discussing improvements to Wikipedia:Selected anniversaries/December 26. To report an error when this list is currently on the the Main Page, see Main Page errors. Before making a suggestion, please read the selected anniversaries guidelines. This list usually defers to supporting pages when there is disagreement, so it is best to achieve consensus and make any necessary changes there first. To discuss improvements to the corresponding December 26 article, see Talk:December 26 instead.

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)

[edit] USSR

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."?
