Attack on Sender Gleiwitz was just one of countless German provocations. As the starting point of WWII I'd chose either Westerplatte or Wieluń. If you really want to pick an earlier date it would have to be the Lupków Pass, since it was the first armed engagement. [[User:Halibutt| Halibu tt]] 07:40, Sep 2, 2004 (UTC)
The Attack on Gleiwitz radio station is now removed from the Sept.1st template. -- PFHLai 05:02, 2005 August 28 (UTC)
What about the discovery of the wreckage of the RMS Titanic on 1 September 1985 -- horse dreamer 20:02, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Two issues with this hook. "Natives" is a word usually avoided nowadays because of the negative connotations it has acquired. Maybe substitute "indigenous"? Also, "local" in "local natives" is surely redundant? How about "was destroyed by the indigenous people"? Awien ( talk) 01:18, 25 August 2017 (UTC)

Currently it is ineligible with [[1939]] – [[Nazi Germany]] '''[[Invasion of Poland|invaded]]''' Poland at [[Wieluń]] and [[Westerplatte]], starting [[World War II in Europe]]<!--Link to this article since [[World War II#Chronology]] currently states that the overall start of the war has several dates-->. I am not sure I understand why it is ineligible; WWII start date is primary given as 1939, with the early date taking Japan vs China being a minority view - but in any case, there is no dispute regarding the start of the WWII in Europe as 1st September 1939. Further, I've improved bombing of Wieluń and battle of Westerplatte to GAs (well, the second one still needs a review, but I am sure it will be fine). I suggest replacing links to the places (~C class) with the links to the events (GA-class). PS. I'd suggest the following phrasing to avoid the implication those two places where the only ones (or the first) where the war begun - they are the most famous, but only some among the first places the fighting started: Nazi Germany invaded Poland at Wieluń and Westerplatte among others, starting World War II in Europe -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 09:24, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

Hi, hope this isn't too late -- I'm not very experienced with OTD. I'd like to place a nomination for the Kantō Massacre to run if possible. It's never run OTD before, is a little-known event outside of Asia, has no cleanup tags and is a C-class article last time it was assessed. – Illegitimate Barrister ( talk • contribs), 09:23, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
