Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/December 7, 2008

{{editprotected}}

Hi everyone! The name of the ship at the beginning has to be either USS Nevada (BB-36) or USS Nevada per Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(ships)#Referring_to_ships. I don't know about the designation being needed, but the ship name (not USS or the "BB-36") has to be italicized - that's how it is in almost every ship publication too. Thanks and cheers! —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)}

To be consistent with the October 15 TFA, USS New Jersey (BB-62), I struck part of that above. Also, December 8, 9, and 10th have to be change to reflect this (in the "Recently Featured" part). —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 03:42, 3 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

And an addition that Pearl Harbor was on December 7, 1941 would be helpful for people outside the U.S./people who don't like history. :) —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 01:14, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done, and I tweaked the 8th and 9th as well. The 10th isn't up yet, but I'll keep an eye on it and tweak as needed when it goes live. If I miss it, just file another request on the talkpage of that one. :) --Elonka 02:43, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

*Cry* Can it be 7 December 1941 to follow the date style in the article? Sorry everyone... —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 02:50, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done.  :) --Elonka 02:55, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
