2021
Does International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition (commemorating the Haitian revolution) already appear on a different part of the main page? Sparafucil (talk) 22:26, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately that article is ineligible to appear due to the big orange maintenance banner on it. — howcheng  {chat} 18:02, 21 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, I now see you tagged it as it stood in 2015. The UN has quite a few pages and I've added two for the opening paragraphs; do you have specific reservations about detagging now? Sparafucil (talk) 04:17, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

Item 3 is the Hebron riot, which took place on Aug. 24: I'd suggest replacing "Hebron" with "Jerusalem" and linking 1929_Palestine_riots Sparafucil (talk) 22:00, 22 August 2021 (UTC)
