Wikipedia talk:Selected anniversaries/July 8

Why is Thanksgiving in Massachusetts Bay on here? This isn't the first Thanksgiving. We don't have the first Thanksgiving in Maine or Virginia, do we? Rmhermen 13:46, Jul 8, 2004 (UTC)

Liberty Bell
Liberty Bell was removed 2007 for being too apocryphal. The article currently reads that "while there is no contemporary account of this particular bell ringing, most authorities agree that the Liberty Bell was among the bells that rang. However, there is some chance that the poor condition of the State House bell tower prevented the bell from ringing". Zzyzx11 (talk) 07:36, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
