- Navalny did not fall into a coma, instead the coma was induced by doctors. [1]. Also, I suggest that "opposition leader" is replaced by "opposition figure". ― Hebsen (talk) 17:57, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
- I agree with the former, but why the latter? The article you linked says opposition leader, as do most other reliable sources. Bzweebl (talk • contribs) 21:05, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
- "Opposition leader" might give the false impression that he is the formal leader of the opposition, like Keir Starmer, or the leader of the largest opposition party. Instead, his leadership comes from the attention and following given to him, not from a post he holds. With Russia of the Future barred from running in elections, it is difficult to access how much of a following he actually has, i.e. whether he is a leader in the opposition, or of the opposition. So I think it is better to call him an "opposition figure", as this merely states that he is a prominent figure in the opposition. ― Hebsen (talk) 23:24, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

Tomorrow's OTD
- Bartholomew the Apostle - according to the infobox, this date is only applicable to Western Christianity. The source says it's the Roman Catholic Church. The source also gives another date of August 29 for the Coptic Church, which isn't even noted in the article/infobox as a third feast day. In any case, it should be noted which denomination(s) observe this specific feast day (of the three) and perhaps the source (if truly reliable) can be used by someone who is knowledgeable to include some missing details in the article itself.The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!!!!) 20:24, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
- English invasion of Scotland (1482) - there seems to be a wide array of plausible timelines for this event, i.e. the capture of Berwick Castle, just one of which results in 24 August. Are we actually certain that the castle was "captured" on 24 August? Or was it when a surrender treaty was drafted? Or what? The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!!!!) 20:30, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
- 2004 Russian aircraft bombings - where does "about 90" come from? The article is very clear that it was precisely 90. The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!!!!) 20:38, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

Break My Heart
Can we revive the fact about Dua Lipa's song Break My Heart tommorow? We'll let you know.--AnOrionPicturesRelease25 (talk) 22:32, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

Candidates in the runup to elections
What's the policy on how many days before an election we stop putting an article related to a candidate on the main page? I stupidly can't seem to find it. —valereee (talk) 18:43, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
- Valereee, I don't know exactly but, if we are talking about a U.S. election, I would say now would be a good time to stop. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 01:08, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
- Coffeeandcrumbs, that's what I'm wondering. I just made a dyk, and I'm thinking...is that all right? I thought I'd seen 30 days, but maybe it was 100? —valereee (talk) 01:25, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
- I’m not sure we have one. Unlike a particular country’s media having restrictions on political advertising in the days before an election it would be hard to know or police for every country in the world. Stephen 01:23, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
- There's no particular policy that I'm aware of. In 2008, both Obama and McCain were FAs and they were run as joint TFA's on Election Day. That won't happen this time as neither Trump nor Biden is a FA nor likely to be anytime soon.--Wehwalt (talk) 01:33, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
- valereee, if you are talking about the nomination I think you are talk about, we could apply the same Obama/McCain policy. We just have to find an article on the "other side". --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 01:54, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

Severe vandalism of TFA
I already reported this at WP:AIV and requested page protection, but John W. Beschter is being incessantly, heavily vandalized by a range of IPs, and it doesn't seem like anyone's gotten around to blocking them or protecting the page yet. Any admin with eyes on this page who could help? Armadillopteryx 02:06, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
Can I ask why so many TFA subjects are american Roman Catholic priests? Is there some body that puts them forward to be featured in this way?Dean1954 (talk) 20:56, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
- One editor is doing a series on Georgetown University presidents, many of whom were ordained.--Wehwalt (talk) 01:37, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that
Instead of beginning every DYK hook with that, what if we added it to the section heading? It kinda annoys me when I see hooks that don't obey MOS:COMMA like the first blurb in today's DYK where "in 2021" is parenthetical and a comma should come before it. Besides that, there is no need to repeat that eight times.
See how this would look here. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 02:48, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
