Articles for improvement[edit]
Tomorrow[edit]
I proposed Bach's Du Hirte Israel, höre, BWV 104 for tomorrow on its 300th anniversary of the first performance (by date). I saw that nobody looked at the last days, and wonder who could check the addition. I am reluctant to place in into the actual set myself. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:32, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Gerda Arendt: I didn't see this in time. In the future, consider just adding it directly. Per WP:OTD,
For unprotected days, go ahead and add them directly to the project page...
There really aren't many editors managing OTD, so feel free to be bold. As it is, the items for this day were basically the same as last year's. —Bagumba (talk) 15:47, 23 April 2024 (UTC)- Thank you, Bagumba, will do just a bit sooner. When I decided to do that, the page was already protected. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:39, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Gerda Arendt: I meant you could have directly placed it at the "live" location when you originally added it to April 23. I can understand being cautious. But really, OTD needs more active participants too. Best. —Bagumba (talk) 02:18, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
- I meant the same. When I arrived at the decision to move it there, two hours before midnight, it was already protected, - I don't know for how long. Next time I'll place it there the first time. With Bach having composed a cantata almost every week, there are more. Just this one is especially wonderful, - perhaps listen ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:37, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

Eastern Orthodox Good Friday[edit]
Would someone please be able to add Good Friday (Eastern Orthodoxy) to the OTD box. Today, May 3, it is Orthodox Good Friday, one of the most holiest liturgical days of the Orthodox calendar. When it was Western Christianity's Good Friday, I believe it was in OTD. May 5, obviously, is Orthodox Easter as well. Thanks! - Therealscorp1an (talk) 09:55, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
- Western Good Friday was not in OTD. Never ever would something be changed once the day has begun. Nobody seems to be active on OTD, it was last updated 7 April, sadly. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:15, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
May 2024 checks[edit]
I am re-setting up the May checks to help editors keep track of which dates have already been swapped. Thank you to PFHLai and others for keeping this project going. Please indicate below when you have completed a date. Thanks, Z1720 (talk) 19:18, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

Requiem (Verdi)[edit]
As discussed with PFHLai, I'd like to see mentioning the 150th anniversary of Verdi's Requiem on 22 May OTD. I added it to day and year but not yet. The response was that it's not properly sourced. I added sources, what do you think? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:24, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Gerda Arendt: Is there a hook in the May 22 template already? If not, can you write one? Z1720 (talk) 15:40, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
- I can't write it into the template because it is already protected, but here (as in the day and the year):
- Verdi's Requiem was first performed at San Marco in Milan on [22 May 1874, ]the first anniversary of Manzoni's death. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:10, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Gerda Arendt: Thanks. Here's the hook I put in OTD: 1874 – Giuseppe Verdi's Requiem was first performed in the San Marco church in Milan to commemorate the first anniversary of Alessandro Manzoni's death. Let me know if anything needs to be clarified or changed. Z1720 (talk) 16:18, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
- That is fine, thank you! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:24, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
