Wikipedia talk:Selected anniversaries/February 26

message: This was asked on the mainpage's talk page and it got me thinking.  Shouldn't "World Trade Center bombing" be bolded and not Ramzi Yousef.  I mean, the bombing is the event that occured today which makes it notable, not the bomber. -- SmthManly / ManlyTalk / ManlyContribs 20:41, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Not really.  Bolding was done to feature a page.  For instance, a famous general won a war. The general's page was featured on the anniversary of the victory, with the link bolded. If the article about the war is a stub (or carries a NPOV tag, etc.), we will never bold the link to that page. Otherwise, both links may be bolded. I may switch things around from year to year. Sometimes, I had to pick one over the other if someone posted a cleanup tag, etc.  There is also the issue of not featuring the same page twice within the same year, diversity of topics and things like that to worry about ..... In today's case, bolding the link to either the bomber or the bombing is fine. -- PFHLai 08:32, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
