Srebrenica genocide
Why is this not on main page? This is very important date in European history, since it's a worst ethnic cleansing after Holocaust. Please, someone fix this. Just to note: On 15 January 2009 EU Parliament voted with overwhelming majority of 556 votes in favour, 9 against and 22 abstentions on resolution calling for recognition of 11 July as a day for EU commemoration of Srebrenica genocide. Wikipedia should also commemorate it...

2019 notes
William Howard Taft's second important title was Chief Justice of the United States, not Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. The Chief Justice article and Taft bio have the correct title (changed earlier under Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase), last time I looked. Thanks. User: Elendil's Heir.
 * Yes, but then we would have "President of the United States" and "Chief Justice of the United States" in short order, and since Chief Justice is also known by this name, we used this instead. — howcheng  {chat} 18:05, 18 July 2019 (UTC)

But it's wrong. Better just to say "Chief Justice," rather than perpetuate an incorrect usage, if you were worred about using "of the United States" twice in a row. User: Elendil's Heir
 * But then there are many other Chief Justices (of the various state Supreme Courts, for example). — howcheng  {chat} 15:51, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

Gough Whitlam
Just wondering, how come Gough Whitlam's entry was not only removed but also deleted entirely from the hidden section? One of the most significant and consequential Prime Ministers in Australia's history, and from the looks of it he's never made a mention here. I think this should definitely be rectified in future. TheScrubby (talk) 07:05, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Whitlam normally appears on December 5, the day he took office. True, he hasn't appeared since 2013, but this year will be the 50th anniversary, so he'll be in for sure, unless the article quality drastically decreases in the next few months. — howcheng  {chat} 07:49, 12 July 2022 (UTC)
