Talk:November 2

Melbourne Cup
I removed the Melbourne Cup, because if you specifically mention the 2004 Melbourne Cup you need to mention for all years where the first Tuesday occurred on November 2 - same for November 1 and 3-7. -- Chuq 22:11, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Stéphane Sarrazin
THe bio article on Stéphane Sarrazin states he was born in 1975. Here it says 1974. WHich is correct &mdash; Gaff ταλκ 23:03, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Latvian festivals
Yet another Latvian festival - I removed it. Why do these keep appearing with links to the Latvian mythology page when the latter has been disputed (and not corrected) for years. If it is a neopagan or some other form of modern festival, it should clearly say so. However, it should not be labelled as an "Ancient Latvian festival" without clear evidence. My objection is that, in the past, this has rarely been clear and the assertion "ancient" has been going unchallenged, apparently justified by links to the dubious Latvian mythology page.

Order
It seems to me like the section on holidays and observances should come ahead of the listing of historical events and births/deaths -- holidays are relevant today, while the rest is historical information. - 67.208.3.187 (talk) 16:34, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

"Reet"?
Born 1989, "oldest newest friend". Link goes to a town in Germany. Can anyone explain or is this just a bizarre bit of vandalism? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nora nettlerash (talk • contribs) 10:11, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Deaths?
I find it odd that no one ever died on this date. OK, I suspect some nitwit stipped all the deaths out. 72.86.37.79 (talk) 22:37, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Dubious claim
"619 – Emperor Gaozu allowed the assassination of a khagan of the Western Turkic Khaganate by Eastern Turkic rivals, one of the earliest events in the Tang campaigns against the Western Turks."

This is very dubious and should not be posted on the main page of Wikipedia. Tong Yabghu Qaghan (ruled 618-628) wasn't assassinated in 619 and the source didn't point out which qan (or other guests) was assassinated. The source did NOT at all claim any qaghan was assassinated. --146.111.30.193 (talk) 14:40, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

Mistake?
OK, Wikipedia’s Timeline of WW1 say the [|Russian Empire] declared war on the Ottoman’s on 1st November …  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cuddy2977 (talk • contribs) 17:18, 19 October 2019 (UTC)
