Wikipedia talk:Selected anniversaries/April 26

message: This article has no sources other than WIPO websites and press releases and thus no indication that this is a bonafide holiday. What differentiates this from a corporation declaring April 26 to be "Buy-more-stuff-from-Walmart day" or "Spend-the-night-at-a-Westin day." I'm removing it until someone can produce non-trivial mentions in independent media that confirm that this is observed by anyone other than the one NGO than established it.

message: I would like to suggest a mention of the "Cod-napping" of the Sacred Cod of Massachusetts taking place on this day in 1933, or possibly two days later, when it was returned.--Found5dollar (talk) 21:14, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

message: On April 26, 1966, a new government is formed in the Republic of Congo, led by Ambroise Noumazalaye (see Bazenguissa-Ganga, Rémy. Les voies du politique au Congo: essai de sociologie historique. Paris: Karthala, 1997. pp. 113-114). Formations of gov't are perhaps not the most notable events, but on other hand Francophone Africa is generally grossly underrepresented in Wikipedia. --Soman (talk) 12:41, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

message: The 'On This Day' article says the SS Ideal X was the World's first container ship. Query container ship and it notes the SS Ideal X is the United States first container ship, and notes purpose built container ships were operating in Europe several years prior. Query SS Ideal X, and that article does not mention it 'First' at all. Driftwood87 (talk) 01:49, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: This source says "Ideal X and three other converted T-2 tankers that entered Pan Atlantic service in 1956 are often called the world’s first successful container ships" (emphasis mine). —howcheng  {chat} 18:36, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

message: Hi, I'd like to suggest the addition of Sibyl Ludington's night ride of 1777 to the list of possible events to feature "on this day" on the main page. Ludington was aged 16 when she rode 40 miles to alert American soldiers to the imminent arrival of British forces. (Please advise what else I need to do to make this nomination, this is the first time I've done this here!) Thanks! MurielMary (talk) 10:47, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
