The Battle of the Sexes

...tennis match dubbed the "The Battle of the Sexes".

Shouldn't that just have one "the" in it? CSWarren 11:35, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

It should also link to The Battle of the Sexes (tennis), not just the disambiguation page The Battle of the Sexes. — Twas Now ( talk • contribs • e-mail ) 00:56, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Eid ul-Fitr, end of Holy month of Ramadan in Islam, 2009

This is a moveable holiday, this year (2009) it is on September 20, and it is one of the two biggest (depending on branch of Islam) Muslim holidays. So it should be in this selection. I added it on the September 20 page like this:

• Eid ul-Fitr (2009), Muslim holiday, end of the Ramadan holy month of fasting.

2018 query

Hi Howcheng, can you please look at the edit prior to yours on Rose Francine Rogombé - possibly a date vandal? I checked 3 refs which all have 1942 as birth year. Main page OTD needs to change to 1942? (PS let me know if you prefer I mention queries such as this on your TP or at Errors or article TP.) Thanks, JennyOz (talk) 03:07, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
