Under Events, where it reads "Fiat founded by [Giovanni Agnelli]] in [Turin, Italy.", there appears to be two incomplete wikilinks. 98.210.124.96 (talk) 19:09, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Under the following heading Events...

Not done @Arprince31: Neither of those two articles support your proposed addition! In addition, we do not use articles from Wikipedia (whether this English Wikipedia or Wikipedias in other languages) as sources. See WP:REFLOOP for this specific issue. It seems like you would do well to review Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:Citing sources. Toddst1 (talk) 13:24, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

New editor edit request on 12 July 2021

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined. No alternate text suggested.

What I think should be changed:

For the event on July 11, 1973, it states that "Varig Flight 820 crashes near Paris...", yet the Wikipedia article about that flight, linked to from that page, says "The aircraft landed in a field 5 km short of the runway, in a full-flap and gear-down configuration."

Why it should be changed:

The statement "Varig Flight 820 crashes near Paris" is misleading.

References supporting the possible change (format using the "cite" button):

My reference is the Wikipedia article about "Varig Flight 820".

Free Slurpee Day

Should the entry for Free Slurpee day be on here? It looks suspiciously like an advert!

Cuddy2977 (talk) 18:11, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

absolutely should not be here. 142.163.195.105 (talk) 18:00, 11 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You're both right. I delete the advert. Maarten1963 (talk) 20:17, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
