Talk:June 5

message: *1741 - Vitus Bering departs Kamchatka to explore Alaska.
It did happen in 1741 but the June 5th date is only supported by bad sources as far as I could tell. Other possible dates: June 15th (log entry by the captain for that day as told by a 5th grade student), June 8th (only ref seems to be Encarta and works that used Encarta as a reference [http://encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_761569148_6/Alaska.html\). --mav 21:31, 4 Jun 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Moved / removed 

message: I was just wondering why this event was deleted from the list. Is it not notable enough? (If it is not, it should also be removed from the 1982 page, where it is also listed.) I'd appreciate an explanation, if only so I can better understand what types of events are considered notable, and which ones are not. Thanks! --Twilightsojourn 20:27, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

message: In Denmark, June 5th is celebrated as the day that Grundloven(The Fundamental Law, or act "The Ground Law") was signed by King Frederik the 7th. The law was a major breakthrough for democracy and freedom of expression, and I think it is still the dominating law in Danish law.
Isn't that interesting enough to get on the list?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.27.162.135 (talk) 15:13, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

message: In accordance with the guidelines, I'm continuing to weed the Births and Deaths sections by removing entries for celebrities with 0-4 articles in other languages.  Where possible, these have been transferred to the relevant Year in Topic articles. As well as making the lists more manageable, this will help with the globalization effort.

replies: text:  It's a day that's been observed internationally. A glimpse into it can be had at this link, for example. Like many other international days, it could've begun as a private initiative but it's not private any more. It's one of the days when awareness events are conducted across the globe by the animal liberation movement. There are news articles on this as well (just added one).
