Talk:July 1/Archive 1

Med Student Changeover Day
Not sure where it would be appropriate to note in this article that July 1st is the date that new interns arrive in hospitals across the country and residents take their new posts. It's certainly not a holiday (one of the worst days to be in a hospital as so many people are dealing with their first day on the job), but seems to be ntoeworthy. --Robb0995 00:06, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I can't see how it is important enough for an article such as this. UK John UK (talk) 06:21, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Canada
June 1 first is also listed as the first day of Canadian television broadcasting in 1958. Which of these dates is correct? - SimonP 22:50, Nov 7, 2003 (UTC)

Intact
Should "intact day" really be listed? Is that an official holiday anywhere? Rhobite 01:52, 30 Jun 2004 (UTC)


 * Intact Day is a real day to Intactivists:

 * Intact Day is at least as real as the Feast of the Circumcision. &#364;alabio 02:33, 2004 Jun 30 (UTC)

Arthur C. Clarke
Was Arthur Clarke's 1986 statement regarding his sexuality really such a significant historical event? Vertigo 20:06, 1 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * It is not important enough for this article. However, if he did come out, and there is a reliable source saying so; add it to his article, there is much debate / disagreement on his article and its talk page about his sexuality. UK John UK (talk) 06:21, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Martin Luther King Jr. made his famous speech on July 1, 1963
On July 1, 1963, Martin Luther King Jr. made an unforgettable appearance. He was not only murdered but was attacked for his beliefs. To find out more on this matter visit www.martinlutherkingjr.com --Phylicia W.

Eon8
Honestly, I know the eon8 thing is enigmatic, but does it realy a historical event? Honestly, it stands by things like the formation of the communist party in china, and major inventions. eon8 hasn't even DONE anything at the time of the writting, other than provide a website with a counter, display alot of random text dumps, and javascript/cgi scripts any novice could do. It looks impressive, but how can something that hasn't happened yet get a spot in the timeline.

Perhaps we should write something ambiguous about it to make happy the people doing all sorts of edits about it. 10:35, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Ordinarily, it wouldn't be notable, but it has generated tons and tons of buzz. Some people even fear it going to kill us all! Read eon8theinvestigation.ytmnd.com/ to see how creepy it's gotten. Governemt IPs are blocked from the site. O_O --Nintendorulez talk 13:57, 30 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Yeah, yeah. I've seen it all. I know what's going on, and I can see why people are paranoid. But until we know exactly what the hell is going to happen, we can't give a definite explanation. All we know is that the countdown SHOULD reach zero when it turns July 1st in NYC. I saw all this info unfold as it was being researched. Considering the amount of time the site has been up and the ammount of information we have on it, we just can't make an update on this particular page yet. (Also, with the current anti-vandal thing up it would be even more difficult.) 01:36, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Kayla
This article state Kayla the orca was born today in 1991. But if you click the link it say she was born on th 28th of November 1988. Not sure which is right but onmes wrong.Jimmmmmmmmm 13:25 1 July 2006

Deaths
Could someone with editing rights please add Michael Landon to deaths for the year 1991 and the birth date is 1936. Thanks. --74.133.8.162 16:41, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Suriname reference
Please correct the sentence ending with "..slavery discard". Shouldn't it read, "slavery abolished"? -- Denstat 17:22, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks so much!! By the way would it be possible to ad this day on the main page today? -- NewDutchy

Redundancy
"1867 – The British North America Act, 1867 takes effect as the Constitution of Canada, creating the Canadian Confederation; John A. Macdonald is sworn in as first Prime Minister.

1967 – Canada celebrates the 100th anniversary of the British North America Act, 1867."

As written this just comes off as redundant. If something of truly historic significance happened at Canada's Centennial then I would suggest rewriting it in the form of 'At Canada's 100th Anniversary, ___________ happened'. Right now it's just saying that 1867 + 100 = 1967. -- Djibouti (talk) 19:33, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Middle of the Year
I removed the paragraph on this page regarding it being the middle of the year in common years. The same information appears on the July 2 page. It doesn't make sense that July 1 at noon would be the middle of the year, because it's only the 182nd day of the year, and there's still 183 days left. The 2nd would be the middle of the year because it's the 183rd day, with 182 before and 182 after. Lawnboy1977 (talk) 22:02, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

Inaccurate content for 1935
This statement contains an inaccuracy and should be amended:

1935 – Grant Park Music Festival begins its tradition of free summer symphonic music concert series in Chicago's Grant Park, which continues as the United States' only annual free outdoor classical music concert series.

The Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra in Madison, Wisconsin is currently presenting its 29th annual free outdoor classical music series called "Concerts on the Square," a 6-concert weekly series that runs from the end of June through early August. I do not doubt that Grant Park holds the title for the LONGEST-running free outdoor classical music concert series, but they cannot claim to be the only one.

Napoleon's invasion of Egypt
Napoleon's forces made landfall on July 1 1798, beginning his invasion of Egypt and Syria. Seems like that might warrant recognition. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.79.208.33 (talk) 14:33, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

Under Events, the entry "Lexell's Comet is seen closer to the Earth than any other comet in recorded history, approaching to a distance of 0.0146 AU (1,360,000 mi; 2,180,000 km)" is missing a period at the end. 98.33.49.159 (talk) 05:12, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
