True. OTD's contents won't change substantially from year to year, so
perhaps the wise and attractive admins who manage the Main Page could let
OTD do its own thing. The OTD box could also potentially be restructured a
bit to draw more attention to the main article for whichever day.
(There are quite
a few articles and images related to Pearl Harbor,
where any mention
of them would include a reference to Pearl Harbor... Does that mean
featuring any of them on Dec 7 excludes the event itself from OTD?).
Who says we can only feature Pearl Harbor-related articles or images on
December 7? The daily FA and FP should reflect our best works, whether or
not they're related to some significant anniversary. If that means that the
article on the USS Arizona is featured on the Main Page in February, then
that's fine by me.
