thread_title:  Wrong dates? 

message: I do not feel that these two have sufficient notability or achievement to be listed in the birthday section. They have no awards or major acting roles in productions of notability.
*1994 - Paul Butcher Jr., American actor
*  1994   - Allie Grant, American actress
Failing any well-reasoned dissent I will remove them. --Drappel 17:01, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Not globally notable 

message: Though the date is 1847, so is not a centennial, I'll suggest Anna Shaw Howard's birthday, sometimes called Anna Howard Shaw Day (but be careful linking to this - it's to a 30 Rock TV episode that's having a 1 year anniversery), because it is an alternative to Valentines Day.  Smallbones (talk) 21:32, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Is this a commonly celebrated observance? For the most part observances should have their own article, per the guidelines. It doesn't matter whether it is a centennial or not, any entry in the Holidays and Observances should be observed every year to be included. Winston365 (talk) 03:03, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: It is originally a Methodist observance - celebrating their 1st American woman minister, probably women's rights issues as well, and maybe on the edge as an alternative to Valentines Day.  The more modern interpretation probably goes along with the 30 Rock episode - folks need an alternative to the slick commercialism of the "holiday."  How widely observed?  It's hard for me to say - I'm not a methodist, nor a 30 Rocker.  Smallbones (talk) 03:21, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd say unless the observance has it's own article it probably shouldn't be included in the Holidays and Observances section. The only supporting article Anna Howard Shaw#Legacy places the holiday on February 14 or the nearest Sunday (at least by the Methodist Church), and Holidays and Observances are restricted to observances that occur on the same day each year. I don't think a 30 Rock episode is enough to establish a new holiday, especially if the date of celebration was rather ambiguous before it was mentioned on the show.

message: In this article we see that in 1076 on February 14, "Pope Gregory VII excommunicates Henry IV, Holy Roman Emperor". However, in Henry IV's article, it's clearly stated that the excommunication happens on "22 February 1076". Which is correct? I see no source for either. --BreachReachtalk 04:37, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

message: @StAnselm - I don't get it. In your edit summary, you say "not actually needed" but then you go and reinstate your edit. I'm reverting it again, as per my previous edit summary - there is no citation given as per WP:DOYCITE, and it does not follow the style guide for DOY articles (WP:DOYSTYLE). Also, as per WP:BRD, you need to discuss things first before you edit again. Thanks, Kiwipete (talk) 08:02, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
