My apologies if this has been mentioned elsewhere, but Henri Petain is shown as having died twice (1951 and 1955). Uyanga 19:49 23 Jul 2003 (UTC)

I removed the 1955 Petain entry; I believe the 1951 date to be the correct one. Zoicon5 16 Oct 2003

"1904 - In St. Louis, Missouri, Charles E. Menches invents the ice cream cone during the Louisiana Purchase Exposition." Upon reading Ice cream cone, this can be noted to be false. I'm removing it. Radagast 02:06, Jul 23, 2004 (UTC)

Well I impersonalised the entry on 23 July because according to this article and the links it is not all too clear who really invented the first ice cream cone. --SabineCretella 10:47, 25 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Can someone please provide sources to verify the existence of National My Chemical Romance Day? Otherwise, I will remove it, as it seems to be some nasty myspace speculation :) --Dark dude 17:37, 26 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Largely agree, except for removal of:

• 1970 - Qaboos ibn Sa’id, becomes Sultan of Oman - this would be a valid inclusion here.

Holidays and observances I can take or leave

The reason that one was removed is because, generally, repetitive events, such as presidential elections, changes in kings, etc. are not remarkable in and of themselves. They are fairly routine. Only in the case of assassination or resignation would they be considered notable here. I don't think that was the case with Qaboos ibn Sa’id, but I could be wrong. -- Mufka ^{(u) (t) (c)} 13:48, 13 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

From my reading of the article, Qaboos ibn Sa’id overthrew his father in 1970 and has reigned ever since. My view is that that would meet the notability criteria. Mark5677 20:12, 14 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

I'll concede that the overthrow gives it some additional notability - so long as this is not the normal succession of power there. Still not sure that it matters all that much but I'll leave it alone. -- Mufka ^{(u) (t) (c)} 03:35, 15 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

I can't find it on the page, if someone could please explain why it is not visible in the page itself but is on the adit page that would be great. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.176.218.74 (talk) 23:33, 23 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

• 1985 – Ólafur Hannesson, Icelandic television host — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bragi H (talk • contribs) 10:10, 25 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

I've gone through all the list but there seems to be a serious ommission as the entry fails to mention the birthday of Greek royalty Natasa Pandi on July 23, 1982, Corfu, Greece. She is among the leading public royal figures of Europe and ranked 25th on Forbes list of the most powerful women in the world, 2013.
