Wikipedia talk:Selected anniversaries/April 24

message: Armenian Genocide is a controversial topic. Whether the totality of events that includes the events of April 24 1915 can be called genocide is not obvious. IMHO  putting this date as Rememberance day without referring to who recognizes this as rememberance day would be an endorsement and taking sides on a political issue and hence against NPoV policy of Wikipedia. ato 08:26, 7 Aug 2004 (UTC)

message: I've added the presentation of the Franck-Hertz experiment as a possible item for April 24; this year is the centennial. Since I did a good deal of work on that article recently, I'm not the best one to revise last year's anniversaries. I do think that one of the two items related to the Armenian genocide can be removed, and in any event next year will be the centennial of its beginnings. Easchiff (talk) 04:48, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

replies: text: , We should add the article 2013 Savar building collapse in On this day.... It is considered the deadliest garment-factory accident in history, as well as the deadliest accidental structural failure in modern human history where 1,129 people died. We also have a free image which can be used also. - Arr4 (talk) 05:03, 24 April 2015 (UTC)
