Articles for improvement[edit]
May 2024 checks[edit]
I am re-setting up the May checks to help editors keep track of which dates have already been swapped. Thank you to PFHLai and others for keeping this project going. Please indicate below when you have completed a date. Thanks, Z1720 (talk) 19:18, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
Done by PFHLai.
Requiem (Verdi)[edit]
As discussed with PFHLai, I'd like to see mentioning the 150th anniversary of Verdi's Requiem on 22 May OTD. I added it to day and year but not yet. The response was that it's not properly sourced. I added sources, what do you think? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:24, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Gerda Arendt: Is there a hook in the May 22 template already? If not, can you write one? Z1720 (talk) 15:40, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
- I can't write it into the template because it is already protected, but here (as in the day and the year):
- Verdi's Requiem was first performed at San Marco in Milan on [22 May 1874, ]the first anniversary of Manzoni's death. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:10, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Gerda Arendt: Thanks. Here's the hook I put in OTD: 1874 – Giuseppe Verdi's Requiem was first performed in the San Marco church in Milan to commemorate the first anniversary of Alessandro Manzoni's death. Let me know if anything needs to be clarified or changed. Z1720 (talk) 16:18, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
- That is fine, thank you! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:24, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

Question about reviews[edit]
I was previously aware that the inclusion of earlier dates as options for OTD were encouraged, and recently noticed that the date of death for Alfred the Great was included in the article. Presuming I am not mistaken that such proposals are welcome, and before adding it to the relevant template, I had wanted to check how these things are reviewed. Is it simply the case that any changes will be reviewed by before the template appears on the main page, or is there another process I may have missed? CSJJ104 (talk) 21:22, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
- @CSJJ104: OTD setters should be reviewing articles they place in the template. This process usually happens a couple days before the date when the hooks are "swapped". I suggest editors add articles to the "eligible" list on the date of the event or the person's birth/death date if the article is properly cited (a citation at the end of every paragraph) and there are no orange banners.
