Title
edit@Dumelow: Since this appears to be a WP:NDESC, is there a reason the title isn't 1916 Berlin strike? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 07:28, 26 November 2022 (UTC)
- Hi theleekycauldron, I guess I had thought there might have been other strikes that year but I searched and found none. I'll move it - Dumelow (talk) 07:54, 26 November 2022 (UTC)
