Removed:
 * 1373 - Anglo-Portuguese Alliance: England and Portugal sign a treaty of alliance which has never been broken.

It does appear to have happened in 1373 but I could not confirm an exact date outside of Wikipedia mirrors. --mav 06:32, 13 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Please can the entry be reinstated? Following previous military support, in 'May 1386, the Treaty of Windsor, concluded in the Chapter House of St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle, sealed by Richard II and the envoys of King John I of Portugal was the start of this great alliance and pact of perpetual friendship between the two countries.' http://www.angloportuguesesociety.org.uk/alliance-history Robata (talk) 22:16, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

Removed - already at May 18:
 * 1774 - Rhode Island is the first colony to outlaw the importation of slaves

This is simply wrong. It was on May 18, 1652. --mav 06:32, 13 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Remved:
 * 1973 - Vietnam War: Henry Kissinger and Le Duc Tho sign a peace agreement.

Could not be confirmed outside of 'this day in history'-type pages. --mav 06:32, 13 Jun 2004 (UTC)

US Post
Question re 1920 entry: There was no such thing as the United States Postal Service in 1920. It was the Post Office Department. I can find no documentation to verify the strange comment about them ruling that children can not be shipped via parcel post.

Response: See New York Times, June 14, 1920: http://query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?_r=1&res=9804E0D9133AE03ABC4C52DFB066838B639EDE&oref=slogin —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.168.137.34 (talk) 01:13, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

World Children's Day in the US?
Excuse me, but it's either national or international. It can't be international if it's only celebrated in one nation. Bob 13:13, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Death should only be listed under the "Deaths" Category and not the "Events" Category. The death of one person, no matter how notable the person is not an event. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.134.105.65 (talk) 01:42, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Exceptions to this rule are cases where the death has its own article, including JFK, Diana, Michael Jackson. They are correctly mentioned in both sections of the Day articles concerned, but Russert was nowhere near important enough to be in that league. Lkjhgfdsa 0 (talk) 03:54, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
