The text "The final episode of the television series M*A*S*H was broadcast in the USA, and become the most-watched television program in history." should read 'became' instead. -- Matiasp 06:25, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Suggestion:
As it is the 20 year anniversary. -- Apoc2400 10:04, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
May be better to feature these wikipages on May 24, Aldersgate Day. -- 199.71.174.100 07:47, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

I have added the Olof Palme article ahead of time, it is 30 years ago on February 28, 2016 that Palme was assassinated. Perhaps an image of him could be used. Just a suggestion. BabbaQ ( talk) 21:08, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
I've just put Jane Russell into the "died this day" spot as I've noticed that the new b/d slot has been very male-heavy in recent days. The article is B-class. Thanks. MurielMary ( talk) 11:12, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
@ MurielMary: Please note that articles that are already listed on another day for a regular blurb are not eligible to appear in the births/deaths section. I just replaced Susan B. Anthony, for example. Please check the talk page of the article to see if it's been listed on another date. Thanks. — howcheng { chat} 08:48, 25 February 2017 (UTC)

Apparently this year I had to abandon the update halfway through and never got around to finishing it. The only other change is that Henry James was omitted (ineligible—maintenance) and replaced by Martin Bucer (first appearance). — howcheng { chat} 17:12, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

@ Howcheng: 1972 - U.S. president Richard Nixon finished his unprecedented visit to China and jointly issued the Shanghai Communiqué, ending 25 years of diplomatic isolation of the People's Republic of China.
February 2022 will be the 50th anniversary of the event and no other February OTD mentions Nixon's visit to China. Though another notable event in Chinese history is listed as an OTD for Feb. 28, I think this other OTD is geographically neutral to include since détente between the USA and the PRC is internationally relevant.
