 * Is there a reason that Battle of Adwa is not here, or at least howcheng ?]? Simfan34 (talk) 16:59, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
 * It's out of rotation this year. If you look in the staging area, March 1 has a long list of eligible articles, so most of them are going to be excluded every year. I didn't know about the holiday, though, so the article about the battle gets to sneak in through the back door. Thanks. — howcheng  {chat} 17:06, 28 February 2014 (UTC)

Proposed swap
I propose removing the 2014 fact about the murder and replacing it with "1815 - Georgetown University was chartered by Congress as the first Catholic institution of higher education in the United States."  Ergo Sum  18:36, 28 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Georgetown University is already featured on Selected anniversaries/January 23, so I would be reluctant to put a sub-article on a separate day. — howcheng  {chat} 08:16, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

2019 suggestion
1869 - periodic table added (as suggestion), with image. Would be first appearance I assume, because was only recently added to March 1. 2019=150th anniversary. FA periodic table does not qualify for TFA on March 1 because it was TFA a year ago, unfortunately. -DePiep (talk) 16:21, 15 February 2019 (UTC)
 * The image of the original periodic table overlaps partially the image of TFA. Use other OTD image? -DePiep (talk) 11:14, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
 * please take a look. -DePiep (talk) 21:35, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
 * DePiep: I've swapped out the image for one of Warwick Armstrong. —David Levy 10:51, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

2019 notes

 * Rescued from Ineligible (unused): Henri Becquerel
 * Omitted: Battle of Toro (ineligible—maintenance); Yellowstone National Park; Vladislaus II of Hungary; Francesco Redi; Nick Griffin

 * Repeats: Warwick Armstrong (2nd consecutive appearance, 2 total); 2014 Kunming attack (3rd consecutive appearance, 3 total)


 * Should Saint David's Day perhaps appear before National Pig Day in the list of celebrations? I find my loyalties torn in both directions... Ham II (talk) 22:42, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
 * We have two conflicting rules here. First is that observances are listed in alphabetical order of the country of observance, so that puts Pig Day first. But there's a second rule that moves less serious ones to the end, so Pig Day could come last in that sense. I could go either way on this. — howcheng  {chat} 04:12, 2 March 2019 (UTC)

2021 request
can we list Vic Mitchell (b. 1934) please? Mjroots (talk) 12:43, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I suggest you make the lead a bit longer. Otherwise, it looks good. — howcheng  {chat} 07:42, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
 * One more thing: can you possibly get a footnote for the birth date? Thanks. — howcheng  {chat} 08:12, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
 * - it's covered by reference [1], first paragraph of "Early life and career". Mjroots (talk) 08:18, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
 * That was my assumption, but I suspect TRM will want a footnote closer to the text. — howcheng  {chat} 08:21, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Let's see, shall we? . Mjroots (talk) 08:23, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
 * If it's in footnote [1] then just re-use it at the end of the sentence containing the claim. Otherwise, OTD regardless, it's not being verified adequately. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!&#33;!&#33;) 09:46, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I disagree with the statement that it's not being verified adequately, but I've added the additional ref anyway. Mjroots (talk) 12:27, 27 February 2021 (UTC)

2022 request
Hi, hope this isn't too early -- I'm not very experienced with OTD. I'd like to place a nomination for Disability Day of Mourning to run if possible. It's never run OTD before (was made a few days after 1 March 2021), has no cleanup tags, is a B-class that could probably pass GAN with some work, and ran DYK when new without issues. (cc ) Vaticidalprophet 06:04, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Looking good, but the only thing it needs is a citation for the date. Thanks. — howcheng  {chat} 07:09, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Have added, thank you! Vaticidalprophet 07:14, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
