 * 1928 - Graf Zeppelin lands in Lakehurst, New Jersey.

Outside of "this day in history"-type webpages (VERY bad source), I could only find one website that gives this info. Her maiden voyage was sometime in the teens of October, but I can't pin down the exact days to any reasonable degree of certainty. --mav 03:51, 15 Oct 2003 (UTC)

I removed "October 15th is the last day to file an Individual Income Tax Return with the Internal Revenue Service with a granted additional extension." as it doesn't belong in the intro, and I don't know what country it applies to. DJ Clayworth 18:56, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

hunley
I question the claim H. L. Hunley was "first successful submarine", when she sank on two trials and her only operational mission, as well as the fact she was preceded by David Bushnell's Turtle in 1776.

2011 Protests
The claim of protests in 951 cities in 82 countries seemed a bit wild to me and, sure enough, when you follow the link, the article lists 120 cities in 48 countries. So I've modified the numbers to match the article; if anyone has a RS for the original number then that should go in 15 October 2011 global protests before it goes here.

tree planting day
The link for national tree planting day (sri lanka) links to the arbor day page. The arbor day for sri lanka listed on that page does not say october 15. 131.217.33.146 (talk) 05:18, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

National Latino AIDS Awareness Day
this is not a government-supported day, but an advocacy day. Do we include them here?--134.153.5.38 (talk) 15:29, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
 * It is already included in the "Holidays and observances" section. —Bruce1eetalk 15:51, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
 * perhaps should be removed.--142.163.194.161 (talk) 19:54, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
