Wikipedia talk:Selected anniversaries/December 3

I suggest setting Bhopal disaster to be listed in the top five. Rhariram 15:57, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

I came to suggest the same thing as above; Bhopal is of a tragedy of international significance and the anniversary should be acknowledged. (Sorry, I don't know how to post my username/time/etc.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.86.1.176 (talk) 18:29, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

I recommend reordering the wording of the 1967 anniversary to read:


 * 1967 – Cardiac surgeon Christiaan Barnard performed the first successful human heart transplant on Louis Washkansky at Groote Schuur Hospital in Cape Town, South Africa.

—Christian Campbell 10:48, 3 December 2007 (UTC)


 * I agree that it is a better way of wording it and have implemented it as you suggested. James086 Talk &#124;  Email 11:35, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

"International Day of Disabled Persons" outdated
"International Day of Disabled Persons" (note the redirect) was renamed to "International Day of Persons with Disabilities" in 2007 (see ); update the wikilink+title accordingly. --Cyber cobra (talk) 06:47, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

2021 notes
Looks good, but I wanted to add | Carlos Finlay |b|1833 for whom the date of Cuban Doctors' Day is chosen. It would be good to rescue Bhopal disaster, though it looks like the missing page numbers are mostly for online sources rather than print: where precisely are the gaps that can be filled? Sparafucil (talk) 07:06, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Finlay has 7 CN tags, and the first source (used 4 times) is dead, so it's not good enough to include. As for Bhopal, the biggest issue seems to be the Eckerman (2005) source, which is a long book and is cited over 50 times, and there are a few other books that are cited without page references. — howcheng  {chat} 04:24, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
