The 1981 event should probably point to Martial law in Poland. That is the article about the actual event, as opposed to Martial law, which describes what it is in general. -- daranz t 15:47, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
Is not really Royally Chartered. The only two royally chartered colleges in the US are Columbia and William & Mary. Dartmouth's charter is signed by the governor, on behalf of the crown, but not by the crown. Savidan 21:23, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

Another suggestion is 13 December 1981 when General Jaruzelski declared martial law, suspended Solidarity and imprisoned many union leaders. I THINK THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. -TrainSimFan
Arba'een is added. While Arba'een is always on the same day of the Islamic calendar, the date on the Gregorian calendar varies from year to year due to differences between the two calendars, since the Islamic calendar, the Hijri calendar (AH), is a lunar calendar and the Gregorian calendar is a solar calendar. Furthermore, the method used to determine when each Islamic month begins varies from country to country (see Islamic calendar). Arba'een this year, coincides with 13 December in many countries such as Iraq. Mhhossein ( talk) 09:48, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

@ Howcheng: Please notice that User:Sir Joseph is edit warring on this page. He has reverted all of my house keepings. -- Mhhossein talk 19:29, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
OK, let's cool it down here. Sir Joseph, this is standard operating procedure for OTD updates. We usually vet the articles 1-3 days in advance of their main page appearance. If we do it too late, then we get complaints that there wasn't enough time for editors to fix any problems, and if we do it too early, then basically you have to do it again later in case any changes were made. A few days ahead of time seems to be the optimal balance. As I said to you elsewhere, if you have an issue with specific article(s) (such as in this case), then please limit the scope of your revert so that other cleanup is not affected. Mhhossein the Jewish holidays are kind of a special case because WikiProject Judaism is fairly proactive in fixing issues when they are made aware of them. SJ specifically came to me about this article to let me know they were working on it, so we can let this get handled at WP:ERRORS if it's not done in time. Thanks. — howcheng { chat} 16:59, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
Dear @ Howcheng: Hanukkah is listed as eligible while it has some maintenance tags and needs to be refimproved in multiple areas. -- Mhhossein talk 07:16, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
