Articles for improvement

current suggestions (with relevant date)

Please list articles here that need improvement before listing at Wikipedia:Selected anniversaries.
Anyone may list an article, preferably discussing on the talk page (or here briefly) why it fails Selected_anniversaries_criteria.

Template for how many years ago something was

It would be nice to have the selected anniversaries in the On This Day section of the home page show how many years ago something was. For instance something that happened in 1925 would say:

1925 (100 years ago) – Whatever happened.

I suspect this could easily be done with some sort of template that automatically calculated the date, similar to ages on a person's infobox. Relinus (talk) 01:08, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

March events

I've gone through moving 2024 events in March to their 2025 dates. I haven't touched Night of Power as I cannot see how it works from the article, and Easter 2025 needs sorting out. Secretlondon (talk) 19:48, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
