Wikipedia talk Selected anniversaries April 30

I really think that Adolf Hitler's suicide should be on this list. I don't understand why it's not there. One of the most major leaders, in one of the most major wars. I would do it, but the article is locked, so could someone who can edit it do so?

User: Reub2000, Hitler was here yesterday for his last will and testament. Let's avoid featuring him on back-to-back days. -- PFHLai 19:57, 2005 Apr 30 (UTC)

Maybe the text should be "Queen's Day in the Kingdom of the Netherlands". – Ilse@ 19:23, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Today (30 April) is Children's Day in Mexico. I think it should be included in the selected anniversaries. --Cumbiagermen (talk) 16:11, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

Shouldn't it say in "recorded" history? I am sure that in the span of 10 billion+ years, brighter supernovas have occurred. 71.169.183.93 (talk) 21:51, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

  • @Casliber: Reunification Day was fine, but Walpurgis Night wasn't quite good enough. —howcheng {chat} 06:36, 30 April 2018 (UTC)

Fair enough. Where I was my internet access was dodgy so couldn't really do much sourcing. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 09:06, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
