Daymongering

Filed under: geek — k @ 2:16 pm

Does anyone think it’s tacky, or… just plain inappropriate, for Wikipedia’s Featured Article of the Day today to be United Airlines Flight 93? The Picture of the Day is also of the WTC.

Somehow it seems opportunist to me, or somehow demagogic. They don’t usually pick Featured Articles and Pictures that are related to what day it is, as far as I’ve noticed. That’s what the “On this day” section is for.

I note that Google refrained from, say, turning the “L” in Google into the Twin Towers.
