Apple
iCal day is a holiday celebrated by the Apple fan community. I think we should add it. iCal --Jbklego 01:12, 31 October 2006 (UTC) Seconded. The icon for the iCal application is set by default to July 17.
 * I agree; I've celebrated it since 2003. --Apple1976 (talk) 04:48, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
 * It is not an important observation, just something for fans of a particular organisation. Qwervcxz (talk) 15:43, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Does anyone know why Apple picked that date?

LDS Church
Does anyone know of a reference for this entry? "1831 - Mormonism founder Joseph Smith, Jr. receives a revelation in Jackson County, Missouri on plural marriage that introduces polygamy in Mormonism." I did not find a reference in the 'Joseph Smith, Jr. and polygamy' page or the book "The Joseph Smith Revelations Text and Commentary" by H. Michael Marquartdt or the Doctrine and Covenants. The documents state that Joseph Smith did receive a revelation on July 20th 1831 in Jackson County but it had nothing to do with plural marriage. What should we do? I think that we should remove it.

Include Yellow Pig day
Just found out that yellow pig day is on July 17th. It sounds ridiculous but that seems to be a pretty recognized day for mathematicians... Will it be included? I think it should. 193.1.229.15 (talk) 17:39, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

Malaysia Airline Crash
WP:NDOY states that for airline crashes to be notable enough for inclusion, they must result in policy change or result in the death of a major political figure or celebrity. This crash does not meet that standard. However, if we get multiple reliable sources saying this airplane was actually shot down (not just alleged by others, by anonymous sources, or other speculation), then it would certainly be notable enough for inclusion on the list.

 * Just to add, NY Times, NBC, BBC, CNN, Time, NPR all say "crashes" in headline and mentions allegations of being shot down. Only Fox News mentions "shot down" in headline.  Eve rgr een Fir  (talk) Please  20:23, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
 * I'd say that considering the attention this story has gotten Malaysia Air Flight 17 would be admissible to the events section. Roborule (talk) 03:36, 18 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Now that there's a lot more about it being shot down, I'd be okay with it being added.  Eve rgr een Fir  (talk) Please 04:33, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

Jadwiga of Poland
The Wiki article linked to says June 8, not July 17. Yes it's the day of her death but that doesn't mean it's the day of her celebration. Why is she here?--Richardson mcphillips (talk) 02:04, 12 November 2016 (UTC)
 * @Richardson mcphillips -- Good catch. I fixed it. Thanks. Quis separabit?  02:09, 12 November 2016 (UTC)

that was so fast I assumed I made a mistake, and deleted my comment! Thanks. --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 02:15, 12 November 2016 (UTC)
 * now, this site does have a St Hedwig on July 17, who is the same as Jadwiga, but this conflicts with the Wiki entries. http://www.catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=3701 --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 02:18, 12 November 2016 (UTC)

Under Events, the sentence "Hundred Years' War: Charles VII of France is crowned the King of France in the Reims Cathedral after a successful campaign by Joan of Arc" is missing a period at the end. 98.210.124.96 (talk) 22:14, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
