Dear wiki:

On your coincidence page it is cited in the second paragraph, coincidences aren't remarkable as they seem.

As an example they say in a group of 23, the probability of two people having the same birthday in creases by

50%. This is absurd logic and very, very poor probability mathematics. To test this thesis was simple. I went to the Major League Baseball rosters to find out what birthdays

occurred in January 2017 among currant players. There are 14 teams in each league, with a currants roster

of 25 and an extended roster of 40. This is over 350 persons on the minimum list. on any day the most I could

find are one to three players in all of baseball on any given day. Some days, there are none.

Where did your contributors with their assumption get their information for their thesis? I couldn't bring it up.

Omission of the 8888 Uprising on 8 August 1988 on your Almanac Page for August 8
Just wondering why the 8888 Uprising has been omitted from your

August 8 Almanac. Is it because no one has written an article? It

was a significant part of Burma's history and you do have an

article under the 8888 Uprising title. I did notice its importance

hasn't been extensively written about.
