Addie Viola Smith

Addie Viola Smith (1893–1975) was an American attorney who served as the U.S. trade commissioner to Shanghai from 1928 to 1949, the first female Foreign Service officer in the U.S. Foreign Service to work under the Commerce Department, and the first woman to serve as trade commissioner. A native of Stockton, California, Smith moved to Washington, D.C., in 1917. While working for the United States Department of Labor, she attended the Washington College of Law part-time, earning a Bachelor of Laws degree in 1920. She joined the Foreign Service in October that year. Posted to Beijing as a clerk, she was promoted to assistant trade commissioner in Shanghai in 1922, and to trade commissioner in 1928. She later held roles in the U.S. government, world organizations, and the United Nations. Smith met her life partner, Eleanor Mary Hinder, in 1926; they moved to Hinder's native Australia in 1957, where stone seats are dedicated to them at the E. G. Waterhouse National Camellia Gardens.

Holothuria fuscogilva

Holothuria fuscogilva, also known as the white teatfish, is a species of sea cucumber in the family Holothuriidae. It is found in the tropical waters of the Indo-Pacific in shallow waters near islands and around coral reefs. Juveniles live in shallower waters (such as inter-tidal zones) and then migrate to deeper waters as they mature. Adults of this species weigh between 2.4 and 4 kilograms (5.3 and 8.8 pounds) and are elliptical in shape with a firm texture. They feature lateral papillae (teats), which are often buried in the sand. The species is consumed as food and is vulnerable to over-exploitation from commercial fishing. This H. fuscogilva sea cucumber was photographed in Ras Muhammad National Park off the Red Sea coast of the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt.

The Battle of the Sexes

[edit]

...tennis match dubbed the "The Battle of the Sexes".

Shouldn't that just have one "the" in it? CSWarren 11:35, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It should also link to The Battle of the Sexes (tennis), not just the disambiguation page The Battle of the Sexes. — Twas Now ( talk • contribs • e-mail ) 00:56, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Eid ul-Fitr, end of Holy month of Ramadan in Islam, 2009

[edit]

This is a moveable holiday, this year (2009) it is on September 20, and it is one of the two biggest (depending on branch of Islam) Muslim holidays. So it should be in this selection. I added it on the September 20 page like this:

Eid al-Ghadeer

[edit]

@Howcheng: Per this source, I updated the observances for September 21 by adding Eid al-Ghadeer. However, per local calendar of Iran and other sources, this observance falls on Tuesday in Iraq and Iran. Could you please change it? Thanks. --Mhhossein talk 10:25, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

2018 query

[edit]

Hi Howcheng, can you please look at the edit prior to yours on Rose Francine Rogombé - possibly a date vandal? I checked 3 refs which all have 1942 as birth year. Main page OTD needs to change to 1942? (PS let me know if you prefer I mention queries such as this on your TP or at Errors or article TP.) Thanks, JennyOz (talk) 03:07, 19 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@JennyOz: Done. Nice catch! —howcheng {chat} 18:12, 19 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
