On This Day...."Alexander Mackenzie was the first recorded human" to travel across Canada, not only the first European. Should be changed to first recorded HUMAN.Giantfrogs (talk) 02:11, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Done. Thanks. — howcheng  {chat} 03:31, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

On This Day.... "Scottish-Canadian explorer Alexander Mackenzie" Alexander Mackenzie is stated as being Scottish-Canadian, which is incorrect. He was Scottish, plain and simple. He lived in the area that is now Canada for a person, and largely during the time when that area was not yet considered 'Canada,' but then returned to Scotland. 172.218.93.102 (talk) 20:10, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

I agree. In my opinion "Scottish explorer and scientist Alexander Mackenzie" would be enough to explain the combination of the context together with his political position ( member of the 4 th Legislative Assembly of Lower Canada ). Askedonty (talk) 00:13, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

Suzane von Richthofen
Surely more of a DYK than SA/OTD? I consider it kind of trivial for here. Awien (talk) 23:15, 21 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Apparently it was a big deal in Brazil. US/UK crime stories get featured all the time, so it's fair to put in a Brazilian crime story. — howcheng  {chat} 04:28, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

Greetings and felicitations. In "* 1975 – Stanley Forman took the Pulitzer Prize-winning photo" please change "-winning" to "–winning" per MOS:ENDASH. —DocWatson42 (talk) 08:21, 22 July 2019 (UTC)
 * , no, a hyphen is correct as the term is a compound modifier per MOS:HYPHEN. --- Coffee  and crumbs  13:23, 22 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Actually, since "Pulitzer Prize" is a compound in and of itself MOS:SUFFIXDASH applies and is the reason for my request. (I apologize—I should have been more specific from the start.)  —DocWatson42 (talk) 03:34, 23 July 2019 (UTC)


 * , you mean MOS:SUFFIXDASH. Oh, I see. I will make a request at WP:ERRORS. --- Coffee  and crumbs  03:43, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

2022 observations

 * Mary Magdalene seem to have no tags at present
 * Pi Approximation Day is a head-scratcher: I get a lot of party invitations in March, but 22/7 is not mentioned in Pi Day and in Pi Day lacks a reliable source. Maybe there are parties I'm not hearing about in some part of the globe? Sparafucil (talk) 23:33, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
