Wikipedia talk:Selected anniversaries/March 28

message: :Image:Terualsiege.jpg is a "scene during the Siege of Teruel, Spain, April 1 1938". It really has no business being on a March 28 selected anniversary. Not only is the date inaccurate, but the March 28 event took place in Madrid, not Teruel. It is wrong to show images that are "close enough" but not fully accurate. So I am removing :Image:Terualsiege.jpg completely from the metapage. Use it for April 1.
Also, I am replacing it with the 3-mile island image. Kingturtle 09:58, 28 Mar 2004 (UTC)

message: The item about the "renaming" of Istanbul really ought never to have appeared here. The summary is blatantly misleading (there was no changing of the name of the city in 1930 or indeed at any other time; it had been called Istanbul since time immemorial; the only thing that may have happened in 1930 was that Turkish authorities asked people to start using the Turkish name in foreign languages). Also, there is only extremely slim evidence that any of this happened on this specific day in 1930, and no sourcing whatsoever about what exactly supposedly happened on that day. Of the two sources cited for the relevant sentence in the Names of Istanbul article, one doesn't mention this date at all, and the other is a blatantly unreliable junk piece from National Geographic (with factual howlers about all sorts of other issues, like "Ancient Greeks … called it Lygos", or, even worse: "… after the Greeks and Romans were forced out by the indigenous Ottoman Turks in about 1299".
