Was the Roman Invasion at August 26 or August 27?? --195.93.60.135 17:10, 27 August 2005 (UTC)Reply

Bloody-minded linking

edit

A classic example of a very common problem found in 'on this day' pages:

1969 - Israeli commando force penetrates deep into Egyptian territory to stage a mortar attack on regional Egyptian Army headquarters in the Nile Valley of Upper Egypt.

The words 'Israeli', 'commando', 'Egyptian', 'mortar attack', 'Egyptian Army', 'Nile Valley' and 'Upper Egypt' are all linked, to 'Israel', 'Commando', 'Egypt', 'Mortar (weapon)', 'Egyptian Army', 'Nile' and 'Upper Egypt' respectively. It is abundantly linked, but not to anything that is to the point. Anyone know if there's a page on this? It's not mentioned under War of Attrition GoldenRing (talk) 14:35, 27 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

  Removed If you find more of these, just remove them. No need to discuss it as the requirements are clear in WP:DAYS. -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 14:52, 27 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

Please stop commercial vandalization

Yesterday I checked the list of people birthdays deserving the home page for notice. Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel was in the list, during the night the reference was changed to Beatles manager. Does the music industry have right of advertising on Wikipedia? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.163.89.132 (talk) 09:23, 27 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
