i have removed:
- Mark Antony is defeated in battle by consul Hirtius in the Battle of Mutina.
Nothing of this is mentioned on our Mark Antony article. Can anyone confirm this? Kingturtle 17:33, 1 May 2005 (UTC) Reply
I propose to remove this entry: "2005 - John Negroponte becomes the first United States Director of National Intelligence." I recognize that this is an important position but I don't think someone assuming the job is important enough to warrant inclusion here. Thoughts? Thanks, Hu Gadarn
- I agree. If this group ends up making some major historical contribution to history thanks to John's contributions, we might want to revist this. See ya in twenty years... Rklawton 18:05, 8 March 2007 (UTC) Reply
- Not notable in my opinion either. Yet another government department with little global impact at this time in history. -- Borameer TM 13:56, 13 March 2007 (UTC) Reply
- Thanks. I have now removed the entry. Hu Gadarn 18:00, 13 March 2007 (UTC) Reply
I removed this as the day is incorrect per the article history of LSD and this is, in any event not notable. Argos'Dad 19:34, 13 April 2007 (UTC) Reply
- Durr, I'm an idiot. It's the 19th, not 21st. My apologies. Though, I would argue the notability bit... Blackbox 19:26, 14 April 2007 (UTC) Reply
Why is Princess Hamburger of MacDonald's not listed? Quite notable, I think. Her parents, Queen Cheeseburger and King Cola, are listed on their birthdays. Please add Princess Hamburger! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.58.116.184 (talk) 14:29, 5 January 2012 (UTC) Reply
On the bottom of the page, it says "Today" and sites the date as March 22, 2017, but actually it is March 26, 2017 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.228.186.70 (talk) 05:40, 26 March 2017 (UTC) Reply
In accordance with the guidelines, I'm continuing to weed the Births and Deaths sections by removing entries for celebrities with 0-4 articles in other languages. Where possible, these have been transferred to the relevant Year in Topic articles. As well as making the lists more manageable, this will help with the globalization effort.Deb (talk) 09:11, 16 May 2017 (UTC) Reply
I think this should be moved to the top. Celebratioins on the 111th day of the year often pre-date the dates.Bosley John Bosley (talk) 15:56, 16 December 2021 (UTC) Reply
- The 111th day of the year is encompassed by the Spring paschal moveable feast and/or preparations for Christian's Easter.
