 * I am not sure that The Beatles making their first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show has international significance compared to the rest of the events currently listed here. Certainly it was significant in the United States because of the domestic viewership, but maybe not around the world since the Beatles were already well known elsewhere.

 * What if we pointed out that it was the start of the British Invasion? Then the entry would be more about the musical movement as a whole, rather than just a fact about one specific band. Brian the Editor (talk) 02:42, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I guess no one saw this in time for 2010, so I'm going to go ahead and add it myself and see what happens. Brian the Editor (talk) 04:02, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
