== Duke of Windsor "The Duke of Windsor married Wallis Simpson." -- missing: "pictured" (there is a picture of her). -- Bartosz 02:45, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

following was transfered from Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors, here for further discussion for next year. --Floquenbeam (talk) 00:13, 4 June 2009 (UTC) [reply]

There's an error of omission in stating that the Duke of Windsor married Wallis simpson months after the former "abdicated the British throne." He was king of seven independent counties at the time (Australia, Canada, India, the Irish Free State, New Zealand, South Africa, and the United Kingdom), the government of each having to give their express consent to the abdication before it could occur. The statement on the main page should thus be something like: "Months after he abdicated the various thrones of the Commonwealth..." Or, "Months after he abdicated the thrones the United Kingdom and the British Dominions..." Just so long as there's clarity that by 1936 there was no longer a single British throne throughout the Commonwealth. --Miesianiacal (talk) 18:41, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(Cough, cough) No "dominions" please. A very rude and controversial wording... just list each country... --candlewicke 21:49, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's a shame[edit]

Why is the Tiananmen Square incident overlooked, even though its more important???????

Its the first time I'm seeing a Wiki bowing down to despotism. 114.142.136.245 (talk) 15:57, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please see Wikipedia:Selected anniversaries/June 4. --BorgQueen (talk) 16:12, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Although the military started to move in at around 10 p.m. on June 3, most of their actions – including when their tanks completely cleared the square – happened on June 4. This is why it is posted on Wikipedia:Selected anniversaries/June 4 instead of here. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 20:07, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed, I was wrong.

Given that June 3's coming around the corner - I would like to note that this is the third anniversary of the Khartoum massacre. I think it's a rather notable subject but the page does need some work with finding refs. Dunutubble (talk) (Contributions) 17:10, 1 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Mabo[edit]

It's the thirtieth anniversary of Mabo v Queensland (No 2), a hugely important decision in the history of land rights in Australia, which was instigated and fought for by Eddie Mabo for 10 years, and eventually came after his death. It overturned the concept of terra nullius and paved the way for native title to be recognised in Australia. I think that this should be added to today's list.

@Laterthanyouthink: Sorry, but the "Background" section has no citations and thus, the article is ineligible. Also, I do the updates a few days in advance, so didn't see this request until now. Thanks. howcheng {chat} 07:47, 4 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, no worries Howcheng. It's a shame I didn't realise it earlier - I could have improved the article. Oh well. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 09:04, 4 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
