Talk:April 2

message: Since the death of our Holy Father, John Paul II, was a large scale EVENT, I believe that his death deserves to be placed under the events. Please respect our Holy Father. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Smarticle07 (talk • contribs) 
:The death was not the result of an assassination.  It was not unexpected.  It did not change the world.  It is a death and not an event.  -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 22:26, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: I would have to agree with Mufka here - there's no reason to duplicate this one death in two sections.  If we do that for one death, who is to decide which others should also be included?  I don't disagree or dispute that the death of John Paul II was a major event, but, as Mufka points out, there was nothing particularly notable about it, other than the prominence of the person who died.  That's enough to qualify it for listing in the "Deaths" section, for sure, but not reason enough to duplicate it in "Events". —Krellis (Talk) 22:50, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

text: If you would like to discuss it, it would be wise to begin and engage in discussion before simply adding the item back in because without discussion it will very likely be removed.  -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 00:51, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

text: No.  Krellis summed it up pretty well.  -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 15:30, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

message: I'm no historian, so I'm not going to change this since I don't know the facts, but there should be some sort of consistency here.  This list of events states that "Juan Ponce de Leon sets foot on, and names, Florida" on this date in 1513.  However, the article on Ponce de Leon says that his "fleet crossed open water until April 2, 1513, when they sighted land" and on "the following day they came ashore to seek information".  This means he actually set foot on Florida on April 3rd, not April 2nd.  Please either fix this list of events, or fix the article on Ponce de Leon... They can't both be correct.

message: According to the article on Rakesh Sharma as well as the article on Soyuz T-11, the launch date of the space mission was given as 03-Apr-1984.
If yes then the 1984 entry on this page should be moved to the 03 April article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.188.188.134 (talk) 22:57, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

message: it seems to me that his birth should be part of the On this Day box. He is probably the most notable person born on the day. Muflih al-Turki is from the same era, but was less important in history, being only an officer and not an emperor. Thoughts? RedOak350 (talk) 18:52, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
