Someone please translate into English? -- Timwi 04:14, 18 Dec 2003 (UTC)

I think someone has a crush on Harry Potter. God knows how he/she found this page since Radcliffe isn't mentioned here... And it appears as though he/she signed using three tildes, which would seem to indicate a degree of Wikipedia regularity that makes a noteworthy age discrepancy between the writer and Radcliffe likely. But who knows...Tuf-Kat 04:28, Dec 18, 2003 (UTC)

No, they didn't sign their message at all. Sorry for being deceitful :/ I only added it so one could see who it was from without browsing the history. -- Timwi 04:37, 18 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Oh, well, nevermind. It's some kid with a crush... How cute. Tuf-Kat 04:40, Dec 18, 2003 (UTC)

Yes. Cute. :-) -- Timwi 04:45, 18 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Freedom Day

This date is listed as Freedom Day, worldwide. I can't find any reference to this celebration, anywhere. Unless it can be substantiated I'll remove the reference in a couple of days. Arcturus 22:43, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Fundamental Orders

According to the constitution article, this was merely the first North American written constitution, making the current selected anniversary description rather misleading. Modest Genius ^talk 03:33, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Two entries for Odoric of Pordenone

Odoric of Pordenone has just been added under Christian Feast Days. I've accepted the pending revision, but was looking for some policy clarification. Odoric of Pordenone is *also* listed as a 1331 death. Is it appropriate to have both entries? FWIW, Devasahayam Pillai and Eivind Berggrav have Feast Day entries, but no death entries despite both having died on January 14. Rwessel (talk) 07:57, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

Holidays and observances / Sidereal winter solstice

Is there really such a thing as the "Sidereal winter solstice"? I don't doubt that there is a holiday celebrating Uttarayana on, or about, January 14, but is it really called "Sidereal winter solstice" (which doesn't really make sense)? Rwessel (talk) 18:18, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

Note: there's a similar entry on April 14. Rwessel (talk) 18:20, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

holidays and observations: feast of the ass

This is no longer celebrated. Thus it should be removed from here. no historical celebrations I think.--134.153.8.19 (talk) 13:33, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

holidays and observations: Ratification Day (US)

nothing in the linked article indicates that this is an observation. It seems more fitting as an historical 'event'--134.153.8.19 (talk) 13:37, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

1967 - The New York Times reports that the U.S. Army is conducting secret germ warfare experiments.

I would recommend this be removed. The sole link to the New York Times has no mention of 1967 reporting on biological warfare experiments, and the Wikipedia section on the U.S. Biological Weapons Program also does not mention reporting by the NYT during this period. The NYT has reported on U.S. biological weapons programs in the 1980s and 1990s, but that's not what this entry asserts.Eltrace (talk) 14:51, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
