Wikipedia talk:Selected anniversaries/August 24

message: Just my opinion, but Hurricane Andrew should be removed because Hurricane Camille is listed as a previous anniversary this same month. If it isn't removed, it should at least be made up to date. Hurricane Katrina makes Andrew the second-costliest natural disaster now. Miss Michelle | Talk to Michelle 00:27, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

message: I don't feel the Buddhist crisis entry is appropriate today because today's item is a lead-up to an action rather than an action itself. I think perhaps the only OTD-caliber items for Vietnam from 1963 would be the assassination of Diem on Nov. 2 and perhaps the self-immolation protest on June 11. By this I mean no disrespect to the long and interesting history of that country, only that those are probably the events that have the most resonance from that particular year.
A more-appropriate OTD item for today would be the Burning of Washington St. Bartholomew's Day massacre. -- Mwalcoff (talk) 01:59, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Is this complaint related to your comments at Wikipedia talk:Selected anniversaries#Vietnamese items in On This Day? Again, as I said there, I am neutral on that matter. As for Burning of Washington, it is today's FP. And as for the other article, St. Bartholomew's Day massacre#Interpretations could use some cleanup. Cheers. Zzyzx11 (talk) 03:16, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not opposed to having Vietnamese items on OTD, I just think this was not the best choice. -- Mwalcoff (talk) 22:16, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
