Wikipedia talk:Selected anniversaries/November 11

message: Since when is this day only relevant to the Netherlands? Seems like half of Europe considers it fairly important.

message: The final plan for the United States Numbered Highway System was approved on November 11, 1926, and the system debuted on that date. This year (2011) will make the 85th anniversary, so I'm nominating it for inclusion in the list. (I added it to the list of eligibles on the page.) Imzadi 1979 →  02:17, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

message: I would like to remind that today there is a National Independence Day also in Poland (1918). Please check an article. Can it be added now, when the section is on the Main Page? 83.10.124.41 (talk) 14:01, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I see that this event is "ineligible" because of no resources (click here). So, instead adding a link to the Independence Day article, you can check it here, here or here and just link to the article about Poland (as in the case of Angola). 83.10.124.41 (talk) 14:27, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

message: Change the reference (at least for today, while it's on the main page) to the US-only "Veterans day" to a more global "100th anniversary of the Armistice of 11 November 1918" (and remove the ensuing duplicate, keeping the picture). Only fitting... 107.190.33.254 (talk) 15:56, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: .254, You will need to establish a consensus for this change prior to it being enacted via an edit request.  Talk:Main_Page#Errors_in_today's_or_tomorrow's_On_this_day could be a good place to start if you think the event has undue weight. — xaosflux Talk 17:29, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  And what of the friendly suggestion on the page that "To suggest a new item, in most cases you can be bold and edit this page." ?? Anyway, posted to the relevant place. 107.190.33.254 (talk) 17:40, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: The rest of that statement points out specifically a difference for what this is on the main page, I suggested Talk:MP instead of here since there are only a few hours left where this will be visible and you would get the most attention there.  In a day and a half it will be unprotected and you can try some bold edits to prep for next year.  Best wishes, — xaosflux Talk 19:51, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

replies: text: Normally we would include Remembrance Day, except that article is currently ineligible. —howcheng  {chat} 07:22, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: That doesn't fix the wider issue, that all of these names are specific to only a few regions (WP:Systematic bias), while saying "Anniversary of the Armistice of 11 November 1918" includes everybody (UK, Canada, US, Australia, even non-English-speaking countries,...). The only major lack of that article (in this context) is that there's only a few sentences about the celebrations of the Armistice, (i.e. the Legacy section), but it's arguable how much we should include in there, or if we should expand the other articles instead. 107.190.33.254 (talk) 14:49, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
