Ted Bundy
It is listed on this page that Ted Bundy made his first kill on this day - but the victim cited, "Joni Lenz", survived and also was not his first. Is there a different protocol to editing these dated pages or notability thresholds, etc? 98.14.129.151 (talk) 00:57, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I've removed it. To be a murder victim, one must die.  Clearly the statement was inaccurate and it wouldn't be particularly notable anyway.  -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 01:22, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Globalization and "recentism"
Several editors have objected to my removing entries from the births and deaths lists in order to achieve a better balance. Their objection seems to be that, since any entry with its own article is "allowed", all are of equal importance. I don't agree. At the moment these lists consist largely of the names of young (in some cases, child) sportspeople and entertainers at the expense of anyone born before 1930. Is this really what people are looking for in an encyclopedia? Deb (talk) 16:10, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Let's not discuss this here. A more central location is better.  Please bring it to WT:DOY.  -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 16:32, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Following discussion at the project page, I am continuing with the cleanup of births and deaths. Deb (talk) 11:04, 21 September 2016 (UTC)

Oklahoma Land Run of April 22, 1889
Why is the Oklahoma Land Run of 1889 listed on this January 4 page? It took place on April 22. President Benjamin Harrison didn't even issue his proclamation until March 23, 1889. 69.95.141.206 (talk) 04:31, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
