Wikipedia talk:Selected anniversaries/August 18

I think the 1941 item would read better with the word was inserted after the word Program. -- 199.71.174.100 00:11, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

Phobos: larger, not largest.
 * Right ! It's the larger of the two moons of Mars.  There isn't a third one. -- 199.71.174.100 07:04, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

Fixed both. Thanks. -- Sundar \talk \contribs 07:10, August 18, 2005 (UTC)

Vinalia Rustica
According to the Vinalia Rustica article, the festival doesn't actually have anything to do with the temple of Venus. Is this correct? CSWarren 13:20, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

2023 rationale
 Heart  (talk) 04:00, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Is Battle of Long Tan a holiday? Why is it in that section?
 * Wouldn't be opposed to a switch if someone else thinks 1919 and 1920 is too close.
 * Added three new articles to b/d. Please scrutinize these to make sure these are up to standards.
 * Avoided Effort to impeach Pervez Musharraf
 * Again, entries are all war-heavy.
