As a result the top five lists will make two list of the day appearances. Those list are List of tallest buildings in Dubai, as well as (alphabetically) List of Florida birds, List of Meerkat Manor episodes, List of Portuguese monarchs, and List of Presidents of Venezuela.

Question unanswered from last month:
- A sentence in the intro says: "The historical concept and definition of sexual orientation varies and has changed greatly over time; for example the word "gay" wasn't used to describe sexual orientation until the mid 20th century." I'd like to see an inline source citation (or two) to support that sentence. Indeed, I don't think the word "gay" was used to describe sexual orientation until the 1970s, but I'm not a reliable source. --Orlady (talk) 02:44, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
Unresolved from last month:
- Shouldn't there be some reference citations in the introduction? --Orlady (talk) 05:07, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
Unresolved from last month:
- Seems insufficiently sourced. --Orlady (talk) 05:08, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
Can the extra space below the image map be eliminated? --Orlady (talk) 17:55, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
- Are there links for terms like executive producer, redubbing, episodes, narrators, DVD, feature film, broadcast, etc.
- Am I suppose to know what Prod. line stands for?
- Why are air dates and alternate names for Australia and Canada airings not included?--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 20:17, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
- Gramatically, parallel structure would dictate that the word album follow all four adjectives or just the last. The first and the last is unacceptable.
- Is there a date for the Las Vegas performance?--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 20:23, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
- No there isn't. I don't understand one thing from the first comment. —Burningclean [Speak the truth!] 04:45, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
- To what extent are these holidays observed. Do they close schools? public libraries?--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 01:53, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
- What does it mean to be a state symbol? Can it be advertised like being an Olympic sponsor?--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 01:53, 8 March 2008 (UTC)--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 01:53, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
- See WP:CAPTION#Wording--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 02:05, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
- Dubai World Trade Centre should probably have height in the text.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 02:05, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
- It does not make sense to me that only completed structures are considered buildings. It would seem to me that once some floors become habitable and people take occupancy, it should become a building whether it is topped out or not.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 02:05, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
- Well, the occupation buildings that are not yet topped out is fairly rare. The Burj Dubai is over 100 floors now, but the majority of its floors aren't even exteriorly covered, so it isn't near being suitable for occupancy, and probably won't be until it is topped out. Incomplete structures are almost always considered structures and not buildings; this was determined by a ruling from the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat in 1996.

Are readers supposed to understand the significance/meaning of episode numbers like "29 - 216"? --Orlady (talk) 05:06, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
- That's resolved, but what does the "Prod line" code mean? --Orlady (talk) 17:54, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
