Articles for improvement[edit]
Eastern Orthodox Good Friday[edit]
Would someone please be able to add Good Friday (Eastern Orthodoxy) to the OTD box. Today, May 3, it is Orthodox Good Friday, one of the most holiest liturgical days of the Orthodox calendar. When it was Western Christianity's Good Friday, I believe it was in OTD. May 5, obviously, is Orthodox Easter as well. Thanks! - Therealscorp1an (talk) 09:55, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
- Western Good Friday was not in OTD. Never ever would something be changed once the day has begun. Nobody seems to be active on OTD, it was last updated 7 April, sadly. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:15, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
May 2024 checks[edit]

Requiem (Verdi)[edit]
As discussed with PFHLai, I'd like to see mentioning the 150th anniversary of Verdi's Requiem on 22 May OTD. I added it to day and year but not yet. The response was that it's not properly sourced. I added sources, what do you think? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:24, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Gerda Arendt: Is there a hook in the May 22 template already? If not, can you write one? Z1720 (talk) 15:40, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
- I can't write it into the template because it is already protected, but here (as in the day and the year):
- Verdi's Requiem was first performed at San Marco in Milan on [22 May 1874, ]the first anniversary of Manzoni's death. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:10, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Gerda Arendt: Thanks. Here's the hook I put in OTD: 1874 – Giuseppe Verdi's Requiem was first performed in the San Marco church in Milan to commemorate the first anniversary of Alessandro Manzoni's death. Let me know if anything needs to be clarified or changed. Z1720 (talk) 16:18, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
- That is fine, thank you! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:24, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
