Could an effort be made to stop posting events from South Vietnam in the 1960s? [[Ngo Dinh Diem]], the [[Buddhist crisis]], the [[1963 South Vietnamese coup d'état|1963 coup]] that led to [[Arrest and assassination of Ngô Đình Diệm|his death]], and other articles in that period have been posted multiple, multiple times on OTD. I seem to recall that OTD was supposed to try for a variety of topics, and I even more dimly recall mention that once an article was posted an effort was supposed to be made to not post it again. In any case OTD would be better off if 1960's South Vietnam was retired as a topic. <span style="font-family: Cambria;"> [[User:Abductive|<span style="color: teal;">'''Abductive'''</span>]] ([[User talk:Abductive|reasoning]])</span> 07:00, 7 July 2024 (UTC) |

Articles for improvement
Question about reviews
I was previously aware that the inclusion of earlier dates as options for OTD were encouraged, and recently noticed that the date of death for Alfred the Great was included in the article. Presuming I am not mistaken that such proposals are welcome, and before adding it to the relevant template, I had wanted to check how these things are reviewed. Is it simply the case that any changes will be reviewed by before the template appears on the main page, or is there another process I may have missed? CSJJ104 (talk) 21:22, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
- @CSJJ104: OTD setters should be reviewing articles they place in the template. This process usually happens a couple days before the date when the hooks are "swapped". I suggest editors add articles to the "eligible" list on the date of the event or the person's birth/death date if the article is properly cited (a citation at the end of every paragraph) and there are no orange banners.

Too many 1960's South Vietnam events
Could an effort be made to stop posting events from South Vietnam in the 1960s? Ngo Dinh Diem, the Buddhist crisis, the 1963 coup that led to his death, and other articles in that period have been posted multiple, multiple times on OTD. I seem to recall that OTD was supposed to try for a variety of topics, and I even more dimly recall mention that once an article was posted an effort was supposed to be made to not post it again. In any case OTD would be better off if 1960's South Vietnam was retired as a topic. Abductive (reasoning) 07:00, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
