replies: text:  The webpage has been updated since 2007. This is because according to the 2011 book by Colin Humphreys, April 3 in AD 33 is the only possible crucifixion date compatible with all four gospels. Previously, AD30 (April 7) and AD33 (April 3) had both been frontrunners among scholars, based on Isaac Newton's method, developed in 1733, of calculating the Jewish Passovers during Pontius Pilate's time. Newton was a smart guy, but did not have access to supercomputers, which have allowed the modern calculations. Hence I suggest implementing the modern scholarly date of April 3, AD33.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.154.101.95 (talk) 05:26, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

message: The Binghamton shootings, while newsworthy, cannot at this point be considered long-term globally notable events per WP:DOY.  They fall under similar classification as most school shootings and should not be listed on this date page.  If they turn out to have a widespread impact in a legal or cultural area, then we can begin to debate their notability for inclusion.  -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 16:22, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

message: Query to RMs125a in particular:
I have tried adding the calculated crucifixion date of Jesus as follows:
* 33 Possible date of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ of NazarethColin Humphreys, The Mystery of the Last Supper Cambridge University Press 2011 , page 194Blinzler, J. Der Prozess Jesu, fourth edition, Regensburg, Pustet, 1969, pp 101-126 (born circa 4 BC). The other possible date also supported by scholarly consensus among a survey of 100 published scholarly biblical statements is April 7 AD 30.Colin Humphreys, The Mystery of the Last Supper Cambridge University Press 2011 , pages 14 and 62Blinzler, J.

You have reverted my edit with the mysterious reason that it is "conjecture" and "speculation", and point to a Wikipedia link, but the Wiki link you provide does not work. So please explain.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.154.101.95 (talk) 14:38, 30 April 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  The point is that I understand you are editing in good faith but additions to DOY (days of the year) pages cannot have external links. That is why I suggested you include your sourced text in an appropriate standalone article (or articles) instead (i.e. Christ, etc). Quis separabit? 16:58, 30 April 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: "You have reverted my edit with the mysterious reason that it is "conjecture" and "speculation" -- there is nothing mysterious at all about that -- by your own word it is only "possible" -- which therefore makes it speculative, and thus ineligible for inclusion on DOY (days of the year) pages and, if included in standalone articles, must be reliably sourced. The sourcing appears to be reliable, and, again, no one is questioning your good faith, so I see no problem including the text in a directly related standalone article, as pointed out above. Quis separabit? 16:58, 30 April 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for answering Quis separavit. RMS125a seems to be offline, or on sleep duty. Yes, April 3 and April 7 are the two possible dates, with the former now receiving additional astronomical support, and the later being astronomically excluded, but nevertheless widely cited. Please let me know the Wikipedia guideline for such a situation -  it is not mentioned on the DOY link you provide, as far as I can see. Imagine a similar situation where a famous mountaineer is killed while climbing Mount Everest, and his body is found later and his death is presumed to be April 3 or April 4, judging by his last diary entries. So does that mean a famous person like this imaginary mountaineer, with two widely cited death dates, cannot be mentioned in the Wiki DOY pages? If so, then you need to remove the Jesus date, but first you need to rewrite the DOY guidelines accordingly.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.154.101.95 (talk) 17:25, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

message: Amccann421 accuses me of edit-warring, saying "Please do not add or change content, as you did at April 3, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article."
However the other editors have pointed out today to me that in fact it is NOT permitted to cite references/sources in April 3 or in any other Date-of-Year pages. Hence I removed my references. Unfortunately, now Amccann421 has appeared on the scene and is criticising me for removing the refs and accusing me of edit warring. Please confirm, on the April 3 Talk page, that you have got it wrong. And please do not further disrupt the discussion and editing process unless you have a valid point to make.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.154.101.95 (talk) 20:17, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

No links to show it actually happened.  No sources, no nothing.  This seems very inflammatory to me, especially without anything to back it up.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:A9B0:5270:83E:9A0D:9ED3:A559 (talk) 06:12, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
