March checks[edit]

Below is a link for swapping special occasions for April (in case any of them are March dates) and the list for swapping hooks for March. OTD tries to prepare sets two weeks ahead of time. New OTD swappers are always welcome; editors can post below if want feedback on their work. Thanks for everyone who participates! Z1720 (talk) 19:37, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Done; I felt the current image is rather atmospheric, but if anyone feels it is too unclear at Main Page size, feel free to swap it out for Phan Xích Long or Valeri Polyakov. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 16:41, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Half millennium anniversary of New York City[edit]

Add when non-Native Americans first saw New York Harbor+land that became New York City? An Italian captain of a French ship trying to find a route to Asia April 17th 1524. They named NYC's harbor bridge after him. Sagittarian Milky Way (talk) 21:23, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tomorrow[edit]

I proposed Bach's Du Hirte Israel, höre, BWV 104 for tomorrow on its 300th anniversary of the first performance (by date). I saw that nobody looked at the last days, and wonder who could check the addition. I am reluctant to place in into the actual set myself. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:32, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Gerda Arendt: I didn't see this in time. In the future, consider just adding it directly. Per WP:OTD, For unprotected days, go ahead and add them directly to the project page... There really aren't many editors managing OTD, so feel free to be bold. As it is, the items for this day were basically the same as last year's. —Bagumba (talk) 15:47, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, Bagumba, will do just a bit sooner. When I decided to do that, the page was already protected. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:39, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
