"1809 – History of Ecuador: After nearly three centuries of Spanish rule, the first cry for independence was heard in Quito"
I find "the first cry for independence was heard" to be weasel wording. - MSTCrow 23:51, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

text: Weasel wording ?  That was my (lame) attempt to "translate" El Primer Grito de Independencia, which is how the occasion is referred to locally. --PFHLai 03:41, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

text: Passive voice does not necessarily imply weasel words. Weasel words have more to do with opinions than with historical facts, although I do understand your concern. GracenotesT § 03:55, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I hate to suggest something more weaselly, but how about something like: "Ecuadorians celebrate this day as the day when it is said that the first cry for independence from Spain was heard in Quito."  I think that gets the meaning right, although with 3 or 4 layers of weaselness. Steve Dufour 02:14, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

message: The 200th anniversary of Missouri's admission to the Union is tomorrow. Given the number, I think this one should be featured on Main. Example of a blurb:
1821 – Missouri is admitted to the Union following the Missouri Compromise, becoming the 24th U.S. state.
Thoughts? Thanks. AllegedlyHuman (talk) 18:57, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Missouri is woefully undercited (and tagged as such) - Dumelow (talk) 06:21, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

text: Per Dumlow, the primary reason why an article is highlighted on the main page is it represents quality work, and one of the minimum standards is a well-referenced article.  The Missouri article suffers for that, and that is the reason it cannot be posted.  We the article up to snuff, and were we given more than 4 hours notice, it may have been possible to add it.  --Jayron32 11:00, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
