 * Unfortunately, that article has a maintenance tag on it, which per the rules, makes it ineligible. — howcheng  {chat} 02:53, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Ok, fair enough. I'm not fully familiar with the OTD section, so sorry about my oversight. Thanks,  Dark Toon  Link  05:15, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

2018 suggestion

 * I've added reforms related to rape in Germany, moved the 2008 shooting to eligible.  G M G  talk  17:19, 22 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the suggestion. However, the 2008 shooting is going to repeat this year because it gets priority due to it being the 10th anniversary. — howcheng    {chat} 16:35, 21 September 2018 (UTC)
 * No worries Howcheng. Well, we've currently got three related to war. Could we maybe bump one of those to give a hat tip to women's rights?  G M G  talk  16:49, 21 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Alright, well, I'll take that as a no. But I don't think we're scoring any points for breadth by have 1) violence, 2) violence, 3) violence, 4) political speech, 5) violence.  G M G  talk  21:36, 21 September 2018 (UTC)
 * True, but there's a fairly small pool of eligible articles for today. The other three are war, terrorism, and execution, so the choices aren't great. — howcheng  {chat} 05:47, 22 September 2018 (UTC)
 * I'd say probably drop Battle of San Juan de Ulúa (1568). It's already appeared three times, and isn't a GA or FA. We basically trade one European topic for another (even though it technically took place in Mexico), and we end up with a list that looks a bit less like it was put together by a bunch of dudes who think violence is the most exciting thing about history.  G M G  talk  11:47, 22 September 2018 (UTC)
 * I totally get what you're saying, and I'm definitely one for countering systemic bias. When scheduling items, I take a lot of things into consideration: round-number/significant anniversaries get priority, then try to keep chronological, geographic, and topical diversity (typically but not always in that order). Sometimes items get left off on significant anniversaries if it messes up one of the other axes (BTW, GA/FA status does not give an article extra weight). Obviously, it's more difficult to find a good balance when the pool of eligible articles is small, so something has to get sacrificed. For this year, I picked two women for births/deaths and we have Celebrate Bisexuality Day listed, so that's why I was OK with leaving off Rape in Germany. — howcheng  {chat} 16:08, 24 September 2018 (UTC)
