Wikipedia talk:Selected anniversaries/February 26

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is the talk page for making suggestions or discussing improvements to Wikipedia:Selected anniversaries/February 26.

  • 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.

Could someone delete one entry from this list, since there are 5 of them plus a national holyday? And could someone explain why this page is protected from editing? --Panairjdde 18:27, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Bolding

This was asked on the mainpage's talk page and it got me thinking. Shouldn't "World Trade Center bombing" be bolded and not Ramzi Yousef. I mean, the bombing is the event that occured today which makes it notable, not the bomber. -- SmthManly / ManlyTalk / ManlyContribs 20:41, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Not really. Bolding was done to feature a page. For instance, a famous general won a war. The general's page was featured on the anniversary of the victory, with the link bolded. If the article about the war is a stub (or carries a NPOV tag, etc.), we will never bold the link to that page. Otherwise, both links may be bolded. I may switch things around from year to year. Sometimes, I had to pick one over the other if someone posted a cleanup tag, etc. There is also the issue of not featuring the same page twice within the same year, diversity of topics and things like that to worry about ..... In today's case, bolding the link to either the bomber or the bombing is fine. -- PFHLai 08:32, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
