Ahead by one day? Behind?
These dates, what time zone do they correlate to? To time that the event happened per the country. Japan and Korea are ahead by one day. And there are people who are behind by one day as well. It would be nice if this was clarified. Because if someone dies in the Soviet Union, versus Christina Aguilera being born, those are different "days" for us... So is it by sunlight or relative time? --Hitsuji Kinno 16:06, 31 March 2007 (UTC)


 * It is the official time of the event at the place it happened. Qzm (talk) 23:31, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

It is either new or first but not both
Today's page says "1898 - Gaston de Chasseloup-Laubat sets the new land speed record going 39.245 mph, in a Jeantaud electric car. This is the first recognized land speed record. Address : " It is either new or first but not both. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.56.241.75 (talk) 08:27, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Questionable date for the Trebia 218 BC
Polybius 3.72.3 dated the battle to "around the winter solstice" --Al-Nofi (talk) 16:43, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

Ebonics
At 0440 17 December 2012, I made the judgement call that "1996 – The Oakland, California school board passes a resolution officially declaring "Ebonics" a language or dialect." is not historically relevant. (Botched the explanation for the change and signature there, my bad.) Any one who thinks otherwise, please feel free to discuss and/or undo.DarrenM here (talk) 04:45, 18 December 2012 (UTC)DarrenM here

"Our Lady of Expectation"
"Our Lady of Expectation" is linked to a Wiki article but is not mentioned there, so should be removed. It is also somewhat redundant as the Expectation of Our Lady is mentioned (and correctly linked to a Wiki article). Shall I remove it? --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 17:53, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Sure, per MOS. Quis separabit?  00:27, 19 December 2015 (UTC)
