Int'l Talk Like a Pirate Day
Has been moved to the "fictional" section and back again. It is indeed "whimsical" and ironic, but is also celebrated by real people, and so cannot be classed as a fictional holiday. An example of a truly fictional holiday would be Terry Pratchett's Hogswatch Day. --Spudtater 15:41, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

George Washington's farewell
it is a common misconception that Washington actually read his farewell address. It was actually printed in newspapers as an open letter to the American public. (Unsigned comment by 156.33.70.17)

Emoticons
I don't get why the 1982 invention of the :-) and :-( emoticons was deleted as "non-notable". How are we defining "notable" here? A quick web search turns up dozens of reliable, published sources that discuss this event (e.g., , , and ). Like it or not, Fahlman's 19 September 1982 bulletin board post had a lasting effect on informal written communication, and it continues to receive significant coverage 26 years later. :-) Polemarchus (talk) 16:09, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Births section
While reading this page, I noticed that two names in the Births section are out of chronological order. Giuseppe Caspar Mezzofanti (1774) should come before Henry Brougham, 1st Baron Brougham and Vaux (1778) while Ragna Wettergreen (1864) should come before Frank Eugene (1865).SciGal (talk) 13:33, 6 September 2015 (UTC)
