thread_title:  National Sorry Day 

message: To admins: usualy you have the holiday bold and the country not bold. but with the Georga holiday it is the other way around. --71.255.143.126 11:16, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The bolded link connects to the page with the relevant context.  The Independence Day page is just a list of dates and country names. So, for Independence Days, the country's link is bolded as the country's wikiarticle usually has the better info. Same thing for National Days. -- PFHLai 16:26, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Re: * 2002 – Barges being towed destroyed part of a bridge (aftermath pictured) near Webbers Falls, Oklahoma, causing vehicles to fall into the Robert S. Kerr Reservoir on the Arkansas River.
While "being towed destroyed" is perfectly correct English, mightn't "Part of a bridge was destroyed (aftermath pictured) by towed  barges near Webbers Falls, Oklahoma,..." read a little better?  —  AjaxSmack  18:03, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
