Hebrew Calendar

Why was "*3761 B.C. - Hebrew Calendar year 1" deleted? RickK 02:00 13 Jul 2003 (UTC)

It was moved to September 6, which is the correct date. - Efghij 02:02 13 Jul 2003 (UTC)

OK. RickK 02:04 13 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Dam

Removed:

• 1936 - Boulder Dam begins operation.

I could not confirm this. Roosevelt dedicated the dam on September 30, 1935 and the first generator went online on October 26, 1936 though. --mav 05:24, 8 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Bush

It's a curio, but since it refers directly to the date itself:

• 1988 - President George H. W. Bush tells an American Legion audience ""This is Pearl Harbor Day. Forty-seven years ago to this very day, we were hit and hit hard at Pearl Harbor" (Pearl Harbor Day is actually December 7).

7 September 1992, Avnir Ben-David committed suicide

I cant confirm this piece of information, the chief of israeili national police intelegence unit (?!) shot him self on the 7th of september 1992, if someone can confirm that and/or give a reference, please add this to the article!

Unforgiven

why was Unforgiven 2008 removed? Matrix8110 (talk) 22:09, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Presumably because it's an utterly unimportant event. --CalendarWatcher (talk) 22:26, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Tupac Shooting

I added this event because it is a significant development in recent American pop culture, if not contemporary American culture in general. I didn't add this as a fan and don't see this as biased, if so edit it and not remove it. I came to the conclusion it should have been included as other date pages have some very ridiculously unimportant items - this event spawned all types of interest from all angles of society and for many of a certain age group is a significant event in their lives (yes a majority would be the fans, but this was an international superstar - his entry verifies this repeatedly with sources from MTV to Harvard). If it was removed because the person in question is a 'rapper' or because he was labeled as a thug by some I can't help to think the removal is in itself biased. Some would even argue the shooting and the subsequent death is what made the man even larger than life (pardon the phrase). Certainly celebrities that die young and unexpectedly are fodder for American's interests (see Elvis et. al.). If this should be removed get the line about the founding of Italian soccer out as well, or the ambiguous and un-wiki-fied "Fighting between Arab guerillas and government forces in Amman, Jordan" (what does this refer to and where can I find more about it on this site?).
