Possiblity for a new inclusion
How about including a line for the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, which occurred on March 25, 1911? — AnnaKucsma  (Talk to me!) 17:21, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

A national day in Greece
I have always heard that March 25 is Independence Day in Greece. (Admittedly, I am just a second-generation Greek American.) Isn't the independence day of every nation included among the holidays and observances shown on the respective date in the On this day box? Dyspeptic skeptic (talk) 23:55, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
 * The Greece article has a section which has been marked as outdated. This disqualifies it from inclusion. — howcheng  {chat} 16:20, 27 March 2014 (UTC)

Wasn't pope Constantine "elected" rather than "selected"?
