This is a list of
selected
June 21
anniversaries
that appear in the "On this day" section of the
Main Page
. To suggest a new item, in most cases, you can
be bold
and edit this page.
Please read the
selected anniversaries guidelines
before making your edit.
However, if your addition might be controversial or on a day that is or will soon be on the Main Page, please post your suggestion on the
talk page
instead.
Please note that the events listed on the Main Page are chosen based more on relative
article quality
and to maintain a mix of topics, not based solely on
how important or significant
their subjects are. Only four to five events are posted at a time and thus not everything that is "
most
important and significant" can be listed. In addition, an event is generally not posted this year if it is also the subject of the scheduled
featured article
,
featured list
or

. Please remember that this list defers to the supporting articles, so it is best to achieve consensus and make any necessary changes there first.
