Talk:July 24

message: I'm not familiar with the history, but shouldn't it say that the Dutch "protested" against a ban on foreign beer, rather than when on a "strike"? It seems to me that strikes are when people stop working, and usually that's done in connection with economic/workforce issues. I suspect that "protest" would be a more accurate word.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dechrwr (talk • contribs) 16:24, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

message: Problem here. The high temperature records in question were in 1934, not 1935. And the height of the dust bowl heat wave was in 1936, not 1935. 76.219.156.108 (talk) 22:30, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

message: Is the reference to AMD's intent to purchase a company worthy of inclusion on this page? My opinion is "no". Anybody care to second this motion and delete it? Thanks Hu Gadarn 14:51, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  [[AMD]] purchase? So what? 

message: Do pornographic "acting" folk really belong here? Do we want a resource that's available to all, including the very young, to include them as important/famous? And are they actors or performers? The term acting implies a certain skill, whereas most-to-all humans are capable of sexually performing. Just a thought.
Also, who is StatQuo (I read his page) and why is he on here as one of the most important/famous people in history? Apparently his "debut" album, due out in 2003, has yet to appear...
:Successful porn stars (such as Jenna Jameson and Ron Jeremy) do belong in the Births section of the relevant Day articles. The actor / performer description is disputed. Whether or not Stat Quo is notable enough to be included in the Births section is debatable. Jim Michael (talk) 02:17, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

message: This observance has been repeatedly added to the article but it clearly does not meet the requirements of WP:DOY.  This observance is not the subject of an article and it seems that it is a bit of a "made up" observance observed by a small group.  I understand that every observance was "made up" at one time, but this one, right now, doesn't seem to fit.  It should not be included in this article.  -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 11:17, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

message: why do these keep appearing with links to the Latvian mythology page when the latter has been disputed (and not corrected) for years?The Lesser Merlin (talk) 11:50, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I couldn't tell you why, but speaking for myself I simply hadn't noticed it. Only currently celebrated holidays should be included, per WP:DOY,  (although this is frequently ignored on DOY pages, and I'm not about to champion a campaign to remove all ancient holidays) so removing any of these is unlikely to be controversial. I have removed it, and will try and keep and eye out for these. Winston365 (talk) 22:14, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

message: *1901 – O. Henry is released from prison in Columbus, Ohio after serving three years for embezzlement from a bank.
The page says he was released from prison in Austin, Texas. He was actually in prison in Ohio. The Wikipedia article has the correct location. Here is another source: http://www.austinlibrary.com/ahc/ohchronology.htm

message: In July 2011, analog television broadcasts ended across 44 of the 47 Japanese prefectures. Is this event appropriate to be listed in this article? J4lambert (talk) 22:49, 19 January 2020 (UTC)
