Talk:March 19

San Juan Capistrano
Probably should have some mention that this is the traditional day for the swallows to end their migration from Goya, Argentina to the Mission, San Juan Capistrano in California. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.192.168.26 (talk) 17:01, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

Pluto
Someone had edited Pluto to say that on this date in 1915 Pluto was "photographed for the first time but was (correctly) not recognized as a planet." The correctly is what I take issue with, because at the time it was initially taken it was mistaken as being a background star, which is not "correct". I edited, but forgot to sign in, the sentence to say "...not recognized as a planetary body", and removed the "correctly". This avoids the debate of planethood, and I also made "planetary body" point to "dwarf planet". I used "planetary body", because at the time the category "dwarf planet" didn't exist, and planetary body includes asteroids as well as planets. Phil 16:53, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

 * I'm a newbie here and not educated at astronomy, but I think the part about Pluto is rather confusing (it makes one think Pluto is a planet).
 * That's because it *was* a planet from the time of its discovery until 2006, when it was relegated to a group of smaller bodies. It took 90 years of increasingly accurate observations to determine it was just the biggest "plutoid" out there - major or dwarf, it has historical notoriety. 2600:8807:480A:1900:103C:C45A:479E:A931 (talk) 20:21, 15 April 2017 (UTC) Dfoofnik nsi

George De la Tour
The actual article for De la Tour says he was born on March 13, not March 19. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.149.65.19 (talk) 06:28, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

1965: Discovery of the Georgiana
I am concerned that this date may not be correct. While the page asserts that E. Lee Spence discovered the wreck in 1965, it does not give a date. I have only chased 1 of the 3 references given, but it asserts that Mr. Spence used old charts to gauge the area Georgiana must have gone down while he lived in France at age 15. That would have been 1962 or 1963. But he “had to wait five years to confirm the calculations”, and perhaps even after that actually made the discovery of the wreckage. (Thus at least 1968.) By this time he was at the University of Florida and ~21 years old.

This strikes me as more believable, in large part because his hand-written notes on the map drawn in 1970 says "The wreckage of the “Georgiana” and the “Mary Bowers” was first identified by E. Lee Spence in January of 1968 …"
