Talk:January 6/Archive 1

Phi Day?
I saw that it says Phi day, but I didn't see any article about it. Shouldn't Phi day actually be January 61? Which would be approximately March 2. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.95.229.148 (talk) 15:08, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Patrick Stalter?
There are a number of edits to this article made by 141.151.247.98 referring to a certain "Patrick Stalter," born 1993. A quick google search for '"Patrick Stalter" 1993' returns next to nothing. Furthermore, the IP 141.151.247.98 seems to be in use by the user FluteDude1693. I think Patrick, a.k.a. FluteDude1693 is convinced he belongs on this page. If nobody complains I will remove this case of vanity. --Netvor 14:52, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

Christopher of Bavaria?
He is listed as being both born and dead on January 6, 1448. The article on him says that he died this day, but was born February 26th.
 * Thanks for pointing that out :). I've removed him from births.  Fabricationary 21:10, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Benjamin Franklin
On this page, he is listed as a January 126 birth. On the Benjamin Franklin article, it is said to be January 17. Rmpfu89 01:13, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

i think Hugh Thompson, Jr. should be added to the list of deaths, anyone else agree? --Robsomebody 07:56, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

The accuracy of this statement is controversial:

1994 - Nancy Berrigan is clubbed on the right leg by an assailant under orders from figure skating rival Tonya Harding.

Ms. Harding was not convicted of any such crime and there was never any proof that she did. The information as to what Ms. Harding was convicted of doing is readily available. This appears to be an irresponsible statement linked to press reports at the time that were not supported by the later court records. 64.241.37.140 01:38, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

12th day of Christmas?
The 6th of January is Epiphany in the Western Christian Church NOT the 12th day of Christmas as that falls on the 5th as the first day is Christmas day itself i am therefore removing the incorrect statement. Thought you ought to know, --Lemonade100 (talk) 20:10, 4 January 2009 (GMT)

To whom it may concern,

Here is to acknowledge your latest gift of twelve woodpeckers pecking, which you have seen as fit to inflict on my client. Miss McMurtree's destruction was, of course, total, and she is now in solitary confinement at Happyvale Sanitorium, where attendants have instructions to shoot you on sight. Enclosed please find a warrant for your conviction.

Respectfully submitted,

G. F. Bailey, Attorney-at-law

1535 - Francisco Pizarro founds the city of Lima, Peru ???
I removed this as the main articles on Lima, in both English and Spanish Wikipedia, give the foundation date as January 18. If anyone has a good reason to put this event back on this date, please give your reasons for doing so below. Perhaps the issue is that Pizarro arrived at the spot of the future Lima on this day?

 * I think this may have to do with the Gregorian calendar and its different implemantation, countrywise. Let's leave it at the 18th. Lectonar (talk) 15:12, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Edison’s Last Patent
Apparently, today in 1931 saw Thomas Edison file his last patent.

I’ve just looked at the relevant page — Wikipedia’s own list of Edison’s patents — and found that the highest numbered patent — US 1908830 — was published on January 9th, 1931.

Before anyone moves or corrects it, can anyone find an alternative citation thats shows it being published on the 6th?

Christmas in Ukraine
Christmas in Ukraine is not an Epiphany celebration, but rather refers to the fact that most Ukrainians celebrate Christmas on Jan 7 (not the 6th) according to the Julian calendar. The Wikipedia article "Christmas in Ukraine" is about cultural practices, and it is misleading to say that Christmas 'starts' on Jan. 6. This is true only inasmuch as it would be true to say that Christmas in the west starts on Dec. 24. The article on Christmas says "some Eastern churches celebrate Christmas on the December 25 of the older Julian calendar, which currently corresponds to January 7 in the Gregorian calendar". I suggest that the entry for Jan 6 should be removed. --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 20:20, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

"Three Wise Men Day"
The linked article doesn't support such a "day". The "3 Wise Men" are covered already by "Epiphany" already mentioned above. --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 14:11, 5 January 2019 (UTC)

Capitol riots
United States Capitol Riots are not listed on this page, but they occured on this date, the event should be added. Fivework (talk) 17:27, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
 * They are already listed. Deb (talk) 18:10, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

"January 6th" listed at Redirects for discussion
A discussion is taking place to address the redirect January 6th. The discussion will occur at Redirects for discussion/Log/2021 February 12 until a consensus is reached, and readers of this page are welcome to contribute to the discussion. Polyamorph (talk) 15:30, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

Capitol incident - need for article protection
Just removed some pro-Trump nonsense from pending changes. Too much of this and we may end up having to increase the protection on this article. Deb (talk) 19:15, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

Joan of Arc
Shouldn't the "Joan of Arc" entry be a *Death* rather than a birth?


 * No, she didn't die on January 6; she is said to have been born on January 6. —— Anna Kucsma 15:19, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
