Adding a anniversary news request: January 6th

I would like for the January 6 United States Capitol attack to be added as it happened on that day, and the whole topic of the section (On that day) has everything other than the attack as an event listed under On that day. Shaneapickle (talk) 15:24, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The article is currently ineligible as it has a maintenance tag. The article needs to be pared down. ~Darth Stabro^{Talk • Contribs} 19:07, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Births/Deaths

I noticed that currently, between January 24 and February 7, out of the 60 people currently listed as having been born or having died on those days, 55 are women. Is this... intentional? I get fighting systemic bias, but this seems rather WP:POINTY and excessive. 167.24.24.187 (talk) 15:44, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Spanish Army: everyone’s punching bag!

Good morning.

For years I have been a devoted reader of this section, and I couldn’t help but notice that every time the anniversary of a famous battle involving Spain is mentioned, its army or navy loses spectacularly, mainly in favor of the almighty England. I do not wish to suggest anything other than this being purely coincidental. I just wanted to point out to the authors of the section a possible unintentional bias.

Best regards and many thanks for your work. 46.222.61.147 (talk) 12:41, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
