images
mav, i am curious why you removed those two images. Kingturtle 01:46, 24 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- They were messing up the layout. I can live with just one image, however. --mav 02:33, 24 Feb 2004 (UTC)
Mav, why not add two days at a time - and add day n+2, remove day n, when midnight crosses the date line? That would be fair to everyone. Pakaran. 01:09, 25 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- We are selecting just one day per day. Makes sense to me. --mav
tense....
I prefer the past tense...but isn't timeline protocol to write in the present tense? Kingturtle 09:02, 25 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- On the timeline pages the protocol is to use the present tense. This page, however, should be in the past. See Wikipedia talk:Events in history#Tense. Please add your vote. --mav
Holidays
Christians do not just celebrate Ash Wednesday in 2004, they do so in every year. This needs to be made clearer.—Eloquence 21:21, Feb 25, 2004 (UTC)
Talk about bold
Folks, why are we bolding some links and not others? It doesn't seem like there is a rhyme or reason, and it looks like a minefield to have so many bolded links in the DiH, and other places. I'm changing it to nonbold, if only to grab attention (Jengod changed it back) to this talk page. Thanks. Fuzheado 23:08, 25 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- Because those are the selected anniversaries! Please see Wikipedia:Selected anniversaries. --mav
- Because just doesn't seem to be a good answer to the question. My comment was that it looks bad, and there seems to be no rhyme or reason as to why one word is bolded and not another. What's the reasoning? Fuzheado 05:46, 26 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- All the rhyme and reason is at Wikipedia:Selected anniversaries. In short, the bolded link is the subject of the entry whose article contains more information about the selected event. So bolding points the reader to the right article that has more information on whatever the sentence was about. The other links are incidental and do not necessarily have more information about the particular selected event. --mav
- I thought it was quite intuitive. We use the same methodology in the other sections.—Eloquence 06:25, Feb 26, 2004 (UTC)
- No offense, but it looks equally bad in those other areas of application as well. :) Fuzheado 06:36, 26 Feb 2004 (UTC)
This page seems obsolete and should be deleted. --Jiang 02:43, 28 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- I disagree. This page should be saved for historical purposes. Perl 15:23, 29 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- Saved at meta:Historical MediaWiki - Dih for posterity. Martin 19:42, 3 Mar 2004 (UTC)
