Picture of the Hindenburg disaster

[edit]

Why don't we put this picture as the picture for today? Good quality. WB 06:13, May 6, 2005 (UTC)

I tried. It didn't look too nice on screen at 80~100px. Looks great when it's bigger, though. -- PFHLai 06:22, 2005 May 6 (UTC)
True. Lacking details. Something else would be rather better. Thanks anyway. WB 06:31, May 6, 2005 (UTC)
How about this one? It's PD, too. Lupo 15:54, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. Still a little hard to tell what that is at 100px. We'll use this pic this year. -- PFHLai 12:12, 3 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Chancellorville

[edit]

Why is the battle of Chancellorville termed decisive victory (an expression nowhere found in the article itself)? A decisive battle is a battle which directly impact the final outcome of a war. Chancellorville did no such thing. Fornadan (t) 11:25, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Four minute mile

[edit]

Accepted that as it stands, the tag for Roger Bannister is not suitable for main page, as it requires a lot of work (I don't have the source materials or time to do this myself at present). But could the bold article be change to Four minute mile, which is in better shape? This year will be the 60th anniversary. Optimist on the run (talk) 10:36, 27 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Propose removing the following. I do not think this is one of the most notable things that has happened around the world on this date.
