- I always enjoy seeing what articles are riding the highs of popularity as there are always some that are unexpected. Plus, this is probably the only appropriate time that I'll be able to mention that I saw Keanu Reeves' band Dogstar play in NYC and I can say that he is actually a decent bass player. Add that to his list of talents. Not as flashy as gun slinging though. Liz Read! Talk! 19:35, 30 June 2019 (UTC)
- I believe that your chart does not properly characterize Juneteenth. Lincoln emancipated all slaves in the Southern states effective on January 1, 1863. The problem was that communication was poor and word did not reach black people in Texas until the Union Army arrived in June 1865 (which was after the surrender of General Lee in April 1865.) So, Lincoln freed the slaves in Texas in 1863, but it did not have a practical effect until after the Civil War ended. The extension of enslavement of 250,000 people for an additional 2.5 years is highly regrettable. Perhaps, the wording could be changed. Hlevy2 (talk) 03:07, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
- I have my stupid head on. What's the connection between Aladdin and one of the champions who aren't champions? --Dweller (talk) Become old fashioned! 11:24, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
- Dweller - Aladdin -> Genie -> Gini. Loose connection, admittedly, but champions who aren't champions have to rub it in wherever possible. Stormy clouds (talk) 12:07, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
