As a German I've never heard the expression "Schicksalstag". Some major events in German history happened on november 9th, but we don't call that "Schicksalstag" and we don't really commemorate these events, except the one of 1938; however, the expression "Schicksalstag" is wrong and irritating.-- 62.246.64.12 14:27, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
Nach Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs wurde von verschiedenen Historikern und Journalisten für diesen Tag der Ausdruck Schicksalstag geprägt, der aber erst nach den Ereignissen vom Herbst 1989 weitere Verbreitung fand.
They happened today. How can you add them to the "On this day" section? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amman_bombings —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 193.108.134.36 ( talk • contribs) .
Why didn't you include the fall of the Berlin Wall in today's anniversaries? I think it's a very important historical event. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.176.86.169 ( talk) 11:03, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Is there any way we can place this into the date since Monday is the 20th anniversary of its fall? Kevin Rutherford ( talk) 03:12, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
{{ editprotected}} So the fall of the Berlin Wall wasn't mentioned at OTD last year because it was also TFA. That's fine, but this year it isn't TFA, and it still isn't mentioned. Can we fix that? Pais ( talk) 16:52, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

I would like to see the Berlin Wall fall in OTD this Nov. 9. Suggest blurb be rewritten to include Günter Schabowski's famed impromptu reply to the press-conference question "when?" — "immediately, without delay" ("sofort, unverzüglich") — which sent droves of incredulous East Berliners streaming to the Wall.
Everyone knows the Fall of the Wall presaged the collapse of Communism, the Soviet Union, etc., and it's not necessary to repeat these truisms. Sca ( talk) 17:26, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

Howcheng, I'm not sure about the procedure for this (I did have a look, but couldn't quite work it out), so I thought I'd post here and ping you. I want to suggest a change for the blurb about the enactment of the Human Rights Act. Currently it refers to the abolition of capital punishment, but the Human Rights Act is much more notable and well-known for incorporating the European Convention on Human Rights into United Kingdom law - this was the main purpose of the Act. Capital punishment was basically a dead letter (no pun intended!) in Britain by then - it hadn't been used since it was abolished for murder, more than three decades before. If you look at the lead of the Human Rights Act article, it contains no mention of the abolition of the death penalty, and in the body there is just a small two-paragraph section. I would propose that the blurb be changed to this: "With the passing of the Human Rights Act, the European Convention on Human Rights was incorporated into United Kingdom law."

New article, maybe would be the better link for this entry? It's the 30th anniversary, so it'll probably be getting a ton of attention in the news, and the new article could use some eyes. It's also due to be at DYK that day, FWIW. -- valereee ( talk) 18:12, 4 October 2019 (UTC)

Each year on November 9, the state of Uttarakhand in India celebrates the Uttarakhand Day as the state foundation day. Uttarakhand was formed by the Uttar Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2000, bifurcating the erstwhile state of Uttar Pradesh. — Hemant Dabral ( 📞 • ✒) 05:58, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
