Dylan Klebold[edit]

According to the Wikipedia entry on Dylan Klebold, he was born on the 11th, not the 9th! Change? cube - Thu Jun 3 19:58:50 UTC 2004

Greek-Turkish war[edit]

The entry about the end of the Greek-Turkish war in 1922 was a fanatical POV. What is considered as "saved by the Turks", can equally be described by the non-Turks (Greeks, Armenians, etc.) as "burned to ashes by the Turks". The burning of the city and fleeing of the non-turkic population is indisputable. --Spryom 10:20, 31 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Equally, Mustafa Kemal, described as a "great founder", can be considered by a great many others as a genocide perpetrator. Editing is required. --Spryom 10:20, 31 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

1776 - US becomes a country[edit]

The Declaration of Independence is considered the point where the US became a country. That document in fact, makes use of the name "United States of America". Offically then, the US became a nation on July 4, 1776 as the United States of America. Congress may have made the name official at some later date, but our nationhood is dated from the Declaration, not the Constitution.

Not according to historical accounts. 1776-07-04 was the day of independence for the United States, but it (they) didn't become a full-fledged country with a working government until the Continental Congress drew up and ratified the Articles of Confederation. — Loadmaster (talk) 04:09, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

9/9/9[edit]

Would it be reasonable to add an item for 9/9/9 (09/09/09), a date that has some significance to numerologists [1][2]? — Loadmaster (talk) 20:12, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not really an event of great historical importance FoxNews and certainly the Metro are not news sources of record. Anyway it is 09/09/2009. -- Drappel (talk) 20:53, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

So you're okay with completely ignoring the perceived importance of 9/9/9 held by many numerologists because you don't like the sources that reported it? — Loadmaster (talk) 04:00, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Personally I think it is superstitious nonsense, but accept the right of people to believe what they will. However my personal feelings aside if there was a Wikipedia article of sufficient standard, cited with information that have been published by reliable sources showing the event was of global notability over time (which right now due to being without regard to long-term historical perspective it can't be) then I would leave the objection to the linking of such an article to other people since, in my opinion which you asked for, I openly admit that I think it is unworthy of listing. -- Drappel (talk) 16:48, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Perceived importance" is insufficient to warrant inclusion in the date article. Perceived by whom? -- Mufka ^(u) ^(t) ^(c) 18:28, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Cafe Hillel Bombing[edit]

Would anybody mind if I put in an entry for the Café Hillel bombing? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.17.95.201 (talk) 18:58, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
