message: The event entry “1909 – The first automobile race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.” is ambiguous. Is this the first automobile race ever, which happened to be held at the IMS; or is it the first time a race was held at the IMS? Turns out it is the latter, so perhaps “1909 – The Indianapolis Motor Speedway hosts its first automobile race”.

message: I'm deeply surprised that there isn't any mention of the worst railway accident in Poland that happened after World War II. 40 years ago, 19th August 1980 a head-on railway collision happened near Otłoczyn railway station (the station is located near Toruń). At the site of accident 67 people have died and 64 got injured.
Some of the references, according to pl-wiki article:
* 
* Decision of the Provincial Prosecutor's Office in Toruń on October 2, 1980 to discontinue the investigation into the railway disaster that occurred on August 19, 1980 on the Aleksandrów Kujawski (railway station) - Toruń Główny railway station near the Brzoza Toruńska station in connection with Art. 136 §1 point 1 of the CC against the death of the perpetrator.

message: I have removed the following line from the article:
*1833 - Slavery abolished in the British colonies.
This date is clearly wrong, as the legislation that abolished slavery in the British Empire, the Slavery Abolition Act 1833, was not approved until 28 August 1833. Even then, the actual abolition did not come into effect until 1 August 1834. I would suggest that a reliable source is required before this line can be restored to the article. Road

replies: text: Anything in the non-notable section trumps anything in the notable section because it is a little more granular (IMO).  I wouldn't call any book a major work of art.  If it was, then everyone would be arguing that their favorite book belongs on the list.  And the term 'beat' didn't come from the book and Paul McCartney has said that the spelling of the name came from the 'beat' of a drum so the book's influence on the Beatles is questionable.  What influence did the book have in South Africa or the Soviet Union or China?  Now we're talking global notability.  -- Mufka (u) (t) © 12:39, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I know this was a cited factoid, but it is demonstrably untrue. The first battle occurred on 20 July off Eddystone Rocks, and the second off Portland on 23 July. The attack of the fireships in the English Channel occurred on 28 July, and the Battle of Gravelines on 8 August 1588. The English stopped pursuing the Armada on 12 August off the Firth of Forth off Scotland. Weather, bad seas, leaking ships, damage, and other factors led most of the Armada to sink or run aground. The final 11 ships moored in various bays in western Ireland about 15 September (some a few days later), and left within a week.
