Talk:March 12

Censorship
I'm adding "World Day Against Cyber Censorship" to the Holidays & Observances section based on this article and this letter written by Reporters Without Borders and Amnesty International. This is also an important day for Wikipedia considering that numerous countries restrict access to the wealth of information available here. Aslaveofaudio (talk) 20:24, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

 * There probably other mistakes too (my source for these events isn't the greatest - if you know of a more reliable one than On-This-Day.com please mention it). This is just my first step in a day update: Tomorrow I'm going to check each entry for accuracy and then update the corresponding year and subject pages. I usually find several mistakes or misplaced entries. --mav 23:13 Mar 11, 2003 (UTC)

Ah. ok. you've got it all under control :-) -- Tarquin 23:16 Mar 11, 2003 (UTC) (I thought you got your info for the day's events from the MavChip(TM) you had implanted .... ;-)

Anne Frank
Please note that I have deleted the mention of Anne Frank name from the Deaths. There is no evidence fore the 12 of March being her last day on Earth. Havelock 18:52, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Zhang Dapeng
There is nothing in the linked article that says that he is celebrated on March 12. It is his day of death, but he might be celebrated only in the collective Chinese Martyrs, which is not on March 12. In the absence of something positive in the article, I suggest he be removed from March 12. --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 14:22, 12 March 2017 (UTC)

March 12
Does anyone actually say dates like "March 12"? The traditional rendition I am familiar with Americans saying & writing would be March the 12th, although in most of the rest of the world, people follow the date/month/year format, so in Britain for example, we would say & write the 12th of March. March 12 doesn't seem like grammatically correct English in any dialect that I'm aware of. Aran na Beatha (talk) 09:50, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
