Today's featured article for May 1, 2024 | ||
---|---|---|
La Salute è in voi! was an early 1900s bomb-making handbook associated with the Galleanisti, followers of anarchist Luigi Galleani, particularly in the United States. With a title translated as "Health/Salvation Is within You!", the anonymously written handbook advocated for impoverished workers to overcome their despair and commit to individual, revolutionary acts. The Italian-language handbook took technical content already accessible in encyclopedias, applied chemistry books, and industrial sources and wrapped it in a political manifesto and plain directions for non-technical amateurs to build explosives. American police and historians would use the handbook to profile anarchists and imply guilt by possession. It figured prominently in the prosecution of the Bresci Circle, a case that revolved around the anarchists' right to read. Ultimately, perpetrators of successful political bombings from this era had career backgrounds in explosives and were not self-taught amateurs. (Full article...)

- 1776 - Adam Weishaupt founds the Illuminati in Ingolstadt, Germany; they and the Freemasonry will be banned in 1784
- 1884 - Proclamation of the demand for eight-hour workday in the United States
- 2004 - Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovakia, and Slovenia will join the European Union.
Shouldn't May Day maybe come first? It's a lot more international in scope.--Pharos 23:02, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
- I fully agree. --Soman 21:04, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
Yom HaShoah (2008) in Israel
- (begins at sunset the previous day). It needs to be moved to May 1 as the Israeli government advanced it one day this year due to it's adjacency to the Jewish Sabbath.[1] (it doesn't say the reason for it at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs but they, and everywhere else, mark the day this year as the 26th of Nisan, sunset April 30-May 1). Thanks, Valley2city 16:41, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
The Marriage of Figaro
Please remove the File:Marriage of Figaro.ogg (an arrangement for winds) and replace it with File:Overture low.ogg (a proper chamber orchestra). -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 06:37, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

International Workers' Day
Shouldn't International Workers' Day be mentioned maybe? There are three holidays or festivals in specific countries mentioned, but International Workers' Day is observed all over the world and an official public holiday in most of the world! (see the little map in the article!). On top of that the Loyalty Day mentioned in the USA that is included is, according to its article, only some ploy to prevent International Workers' Day from being celebrated. It isn't a holiday and doesn't seem to have any widespread traditions associated with it. --83.128.131.207 (talk) 09:54, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
- Never mind, I already figured out what happened. --83.128.131.207 (talk) 10:08, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
- I have removed the refimprove tag that was added yesterday (problematic timing) from As mentioned, Loyalty Day has just as many issues, including but not limited to: CN in the lead section, a ref with Missing or empty |title= (help), as well as a section without any citations whatsoever.

- In the past year, the consensus has been to begin ensuring that articles featured in OTD are of high quality. We have taken out a number of high-profile holidays/observances, including Mother's Day, Father's Day, and a number of major religious holidays including Passover and Easter. Nobody is targeting International Worker's Day specifically. @chat} 16:39, 1 May 2017 (UTC)]
