thread_title:  Tenth Anniversary of Omagh bombing 

message: I suggest replacing the Omagh bombing with "President Fulbert Youlou is overthrown in the Republic of Congo, after a three-day uprising in the capital." The Trois Glorieuses would mark Congolese politics until the early 1990s, and was a highly significant historical event. Events in Francophone Africa are generally given far less attention in Wikipedia than events in Western Europe. --Soman (talk) 13:20, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

message: *Re the queue for OTD, Aug. 15
As it stands, the wording of the item about the founding of the Jesuits, "Ignatius of Loyola and six others at Montmartre near Paris took the vows that led to the establishment of the Society of Jesus",  is rather awkward because the phrase "at Montmartre" is misplaced.
I think it would read much better as: "In Montmartre, near Paris, Ignatius of Loyola and six others took the vows that led to the establishment of the Society of Jesus."
But at least "at Montmartre" (a gallicism stemming from à Montmartre) needs to be changed to "in Montmartre".

message: Under the August 15 (2021) on this day section, under "1080", it says "Byzantine general Eustathios Daphnomeles captured and blinded Ibatzes of Bulgaria by means of a ruse, ending the last resistance against Emperor Basil II's conquest of Bulgaria.", why does it say "Ibatzes" and not "Ivats" "of Bulgaria", shouldn't it say that as the page links there, and there is no one mention of this nickname on the article about him. Omniscientmoose42 (talk) 23:48, 14 August 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: The blurbs in OTD defer to the article being highlighted. He is called "Ibatzes" there, so that's how he is listed here. Please change this in the article or bring this up on the article talk page, and once it's changed there we'll be happy to change it here as well. —howcheng  {chat} 07:41, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  When I made that comment, the name "Ibatzes" was not in the article (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ivats&oldid=1038846957), hence why I brought it up, now that the article has changed, I see no reason to change it. Also, is there any proof that this guy is named Ibatzes and that somebody didn't just change it because it was brought up? Omniscientmoose42 (talk) 14:07, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
