It really is Veterans' Day today here in Finland, but the article the wikilink led to talked about a different day, honouring veterans from another country, and held on November 11.

replies: text: It can't be listed there if it does not link to a supporting article.  If there is an article that mentions the observance, it can be added back linking to that article.  It wasn't listed in Public holidays in Finland and that is usually where I'd look to find support for such an observance.  You can add it to that article, then add the observance back to this article.  (Mufka digs some more).  Found it in Flag days in Finland.  I'll add it back.

message: This page cites the 9th of May as the consecration date for the Lincoln Cathedral. However, the page that is referenced by the link for the Lincoln Cathedral says that the date of consecration is May 11th. obviously, one of them is wrong.
Information Britain's webpage on the subject states the 9th of May.
Sacred Destinations' page on the subject also states the 9th of May.
I believe the confusion may lie in the fact that Bishop Remigius died two days before the consecration.
I suggest that the reference in the Lincoln Cathedral page be change to the 9th of May. further research may be needed to corroborate this.

message: @Bruce1ee, I apologize, I guess I still don't know how to cite stuff correctly on Wikipedia. The reason I didn't cite a Wikipedia article is because there is no article on the 1990 Arab Baghdad summit. It seemed obscure but noteworthy. So I took from the 1991 Gulf War a BBC production. But I guess I knew I should've cited but was nervous on how to. DOesn't excuse it. But now that I think about it, The Gulf War article might have something on this, I will go look, I could cite the documentary now on Youtube, I could cite the gulf war article if there is something on it, or i could cite the article linked in the gulf war wikiarticle if there is one, or just an article from the internet if there is none on wikipedia about it.
