Signing of the Paris Peace Accords
The Paris Peace Accords, officially the Agreement on Ending the War and Restoring Peace in Viet Nam, was a peace agreement signed on January 27, 1973, to establish peace in Vietnam and end the Vietnam War. The agreement was signed by the governments of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (North Vietnam), the Republic of Vietnam (South Vietnam), the United States, and the Provisional Revolutionary Government of the Republic of South Vietnam (representing South Vietnamese communists). The Paris Peace Accords removed the remaining United States forces, and fighting between the three remaining powers temporarily stopped. The agreement's provisions were immediately and frequently broken by both North and South Vietnamese forces with no official response from the United States. Open fighting broke out in March 1973, and North Vietnamese offensives enlarged their territory by the end of the year. The war continued until the fall of Saigon to North Vietnamese forces in 1975.

POTD Test Code

[edit]
  • TEST 01: The code {{POTD/{{#time:Y-m-d}}|image}} just displays the file name without a hyperlink:
    Vietnam peace agreement signing, 27580141, new.jpg
  • TEST 02: This extended code (derived from TEST 01) does not work at all:
    {{POTD/{{#time:CURRENTYEAR-CURRENTMONTH-CURRENTDAY}}|image}}
  • TEST 03: The code within this template extracted from Wiki Commons does not work as planned within the English Wikipedia:
    {{picture of the day|year=2015|month=02|day=07}}
  • This is the Wikipedia code variant (displayed below):
    {{Pic of the day|date=2019-08-13}}

BMW S1000RR
The BMW S1000RR is a sport bike made by BMW Motorrad. It was introduced in 2008, initially for competition in the 2009 Superbike World Championship, and has been in commercial production since then. Powered by a 999 cc (61.0 cu in) four-cylinder engine, redlined at 14,200 rpm, it delivers 133.6 kW (179.2 hp; 181.6 PS) to the rear wheel, making it the most powerful motorcycle in the class. Rubén Xaus and Troy Corser rode the bike for its inaugural Superbike World Championship in 2009, gaining highest finishes of fifth and seventh respectively, but it achieved greater success in the 2010 FIM Superstock 1000 championship season, with rider Ayrton Badovini winning every single race but one on the S1000RR.Photograph credit: Stefan Krause
