• All entries in the Wikicalendar articles should adhere to the guideline set forth atWikipedia:Days of the year.
• Any change to the page layout that would be a deviation from thetemplate should be discussed onthis project's talk pagebefore such change is made. Standard date page layout includes the sections: Events, Births, Deaths, Holidays and observances, and External links.
• Anymaterial lacking a reliable sourcedirectly supporting it may be removed and should not be restored without an inline citation to a reliable source.
• All events, births, deaths, and holidays should be linked to existing English Wikipedia articles and those articles should mention the specific events. PerWP:USERG, such a wikilink is not considered a reliable source, anda direct source is required.
• Events should be written in the present tense, not the past or future tense.[1] Entries should be written in a timeless fashion so that they do not need to be updated as time passes.
• Entries should be concise and informative, and not contain long narratives. Linked articles provide detailed information.
• The date pages should be kept clean of trivia such as film history, fabricated holidays and observances, fictional events, etc.
• Items, such as dates and years, should not be linked more than once within a section. Years of birth in the Deaths section and years of death in the Births section (e.g. (b. 1970)) should not be linked. Redundant links to other articles (linking the same thing more than once) should be limited to linking in order to support a particular event. SeeWP:OVERLINK for more on the general topic.
• Red links should not be created in the Wikicalendar articles. Only links to existing articles that support the content should be added.
• Whenever possible,new style dates should be used for entries. Duplicate entries on corresponding old style dates should be removed.
• When ordering births and deaths that occur in the same year, listings should be ordered alphabetically by thesurname of the subject.
• Multiple deaths caused by the same event (e.g. December 7, 1941) may be listed, indented with a ":*", under the name of the event. SeeDecember_7#Deaths for an example.
• In keeping with the layout in thetemplate, entries should be formatted using – because it is easier to be consistently duplicated in new entries. Often editors will use the - (hyphen) instead of the – (endash) without knowing the difference.
• The External links section is considered static and the addition of new links should be discussed on this project's talk page.

1. Massive citation cleanup: Adopt a date (your birthday?) and ensure each entry has a direct source supporting it or it is removed.
2. Ensure each article has the sub-sections that conform to the structure agreed upon afterthis discussion.Completed
3. Investigate getting the edit filterSpecial:AbuseFilter/1129 working?
4. Event cleanup: There are many events in these pages that don't meet the threshhold ofWP:EVENTDOY and should be removed.
