Wikipedia talk:Selected anniversaries/September 22

Edit Request
Please add Ramadan, 1427 begins at sunset (Islam, 2006) as a holiday. Alternatively, just Ramadan begins... would work fine, if you decide to remove the Jewish and Islamic years (which may be a good idea, because it's getting quite crowded). Thanks in advance. --  tariq abjotu  14:35, 17 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Note, also, that the date is tentative, and so as the day moves closer, I (or someone else) may request that this event be moved to September 23, if that is what the majority of the world decides to follow. --  tariq abjotu  14:35, 17 September 2006 (UTC)


 * I've put it on Sept.23rd for the time being. -- PFHLai 19:19, 19 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Alright; that's probably the most accurate anyway. --  tariq abjotu  22:38, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

"Car Free Day"
Shouldn't that be "Car-Free Day" (with a hyphen), to avoid the implication that Europe and Canada are giving away free cars? See WP:HYPHEN, paragraph 3: "Sometimes the hyphen helps with disambiguation (little-used car, not a reference to the size of a used car)." Unimaginative Username 03:28, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
 * This issue should be addressed on the Car Free Days article first before here. Cheers. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 03:33, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Good idea. Done. Still hope they change this, as the main page is seen by many more people than the CFD article would be, and the error noted more often. Thanks for the suggestion. Unimaginative Username 22:18, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Iran–Iraq War
At this day in 1980 Iraq invaded Iran. This led to eight year war between two countries which is one of the longest war of the contemporary era.-- Seyyed(t-c) 05:27, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Iran–Iraq War is given lower priority this year because it is currently tagged with longish, Split-apart, Totally-disputed, among others. Remember, the selected articles (bolded items) on the Main Page are chosen based more on how well they are written, not based on how much their subjects are important or significant.

Nazi-Soviet parade (1939)
At this day in 1939, a joint Nazi-Soviet military parade in Brześć was held, to display the power of the newly formed Soviet-Nazi pact to the whole world. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 18:01, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

OneWebDay
I am perplexed by the inclusion of OneWebDay, which article reads almost like an advertisement. Is this a real thing that should be on the front page? I am wary of changing the front page with no consensus, however. 128.208.6.193 (talk) 11:40, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
