The docs could use some spelling control :)

A couple updates for the Mobile Content Service
and RESTBase:
A new MCS service was deployed yesterday that returns events, holidays,
birth and deaths. This service is powered using Wikipedia contributed by
our volunteers. It currently works for EN, DE, FR, SV (with rollout to more
languages being planned).
For example, to see today’s births:
https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/feed/onthisday/births/02/14
(Source:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/February_14)
Even better, it returns the curated list selected anniversaries:
https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/feed/onthisday/selected/02/14
(Source:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Selected_anniversari
es/February_14)
For more information, check out the docs:
https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/#!/Feed/aggregatedFeed_0
Thanks to Monte and Bernd for working on this and creating a very useful
endpoint!
Another minor, but useful improvement made earlier this month was the
inclusion latitude and longitude in RESTBase summaries by Petr:
https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/summary/atlanta
Special thanks to Petr, Marko and the rest of the Services team for all
their help and consultation. They continue to be great partners for the
Reading team and their contributions have been key to so much of our work
over the past year.
