In my traditional love of the British Isles I'd like to recommend a tweet about the Queen this morning as she surpasses Queen Victoria as longest serving UK Monarch (and, believe, the longest serving reign of any Queen). The traditional time it seems people are confidant about is around 17:30 BST and so 9:30 Pacific. I think it would be awesome if we could get something out then. The front page of Wikipedia will change about the same time to add this to In the News (currently here <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:In_the_news/Candidates#September_9> ). Thoughts: - Today Queen Elizabeth II becomes the longest-reigning British head of state. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_II - QE 2 is a featured article - Could also use https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_monarchs_in_Britain_by_length_of_reign - Today Queen Elizabeth II surpasses her great-great-grandmother Queen Victoria [Link] - Today Queen Elizabeth II surpasses Queen Victoria as longest reigning UK monarch. [Link] Great free Photo to use: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Queen_Elizabeth_II_March_2015.jpg [Personally I like the purple better but there are a couple other good ones at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Elizabeth_II_of_the_United_King… ] For those interested (i.e. probably not many of you unless you're as nerdy as I am) the Queen being smart and "celebrating" the day avoiding the London politicians toasting her and doing official duties up north with with the Scottish First Minister :).
