Talk:July 21

message: Paloma Faith was born on this day. I have looked up many Music artists who fail to be on these lists. This is a huge project which needs to be taken by somebody, and not me. 78.148.244.245 (talk) 10:49, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

message: Come on, how can you have a July 21 of a date before the calendar was created?  Not to mention which the adjustments to the Gregorian calendar which make it difficult to even suggest that this would've been the date had the calendar been in existance. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.102.126.97 (talk) 06:39, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

message: I added back on the list the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, as it is now a historical event (see older discussion above) and qualifies for addition according to the guideline. According to it, "dates of completion or premiere of major works of art and architecture recognized on a global scale" are allowed; moreover, "dates that pertain to television programs, movies, books, video games, etc. – this is not notable on a global scale (exceptions include the breaking of world records for sales, etc.)": on its page it is said that the aforementioned book is still the fastest-selling book in history, and thus qualifies.
If you have any inquiry or complaint, please contact me by replying to this discussion or via my talk page. -- Angelikfire (talk) 17:27, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree is it is a premiere of a major work of art, however I added it and it was removed. What are the grounds for NOT including it on this list?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.45.145.209 (talk) 02:01, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, I'd like to know that too. I have already contacted Rlbarton - the author of the removal - twice, and asked him to elaborate further on the matter, but all I got from them was a "Not a significant world event". I pointed them to this talk page in order to discuss this edit and possibly reach an agreement, but I have seen no collaboration from their part (despite what Wikipedia's guidelines say). I suggest you to get an account and try to ask them yourself. -- Angelikfire (talk) 22:16, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

message: The lowest temperature recorded on Earth may have been logged in Antarctica on Aug. 10, 2010: a reading of 135.8 degrees below zero Fahrenheit (or minus 93.2 degrees Celsius).
That unfathomably frigid temperature reading, taken via NASA satellite, was part of an effort by American scientists to locate the coldest spot on the planet. Turns out, there are a string of extremely cold spots, pockets of unbelievable chill at high elevations in Antarctica.
Researchers at the National Snow and Ice Data Center reported the findings at a news conference Monday during the American Geophysical Union's annual meeting in San Francisco.
They looked at a region of the east Antarctic Plateau and found that temperatures in certain pockets "routinely surpass the record temperature of the previous lowest temperature on record." That was 128.6 degrees below zero Fahrenheit, set at Russia's Vostok Station in Antarctica on July 21, 1983.
There's grumbling, perhaps not surprisingly from Russian quarters. "Minus Credibility?" reads a headline on Moscow-based RT.com.
The head of the Russian Antarctic Expedition logistics center says it is "incorrect" and "unrealistic" to declare this record based on data from a satellite, according to RT.com.
As scientists noted in Monday's presentation, the kinds of low temperatures we're talking about here could be survived by humans -- "for about three minutes."  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lechner16332 (talk • contribs) 04:07, 10 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: The temperature recorded in Vostok Station is the lowest temperature recorded in an inhabited land. That is the reason it is retained here; it will be always. The area you are referring to is a remote location. --MrScorch6200 (t c) 04:28, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

message: In accordance with the guidelines, I've started weeding the Births section (Deaths are in pretty good shape already) 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.

message: I tried to edit the births and add Alexander the Great and Erling Haaland, a super-talented Norwegian footballer born in 2000, but it was deleted, for some reason "citing a reliable source" was required, even though their wiki pages state this date of birth.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.148.22.42 (talk) 04:03, 14 August 2020 (UTC)

message: User:Palisades1 - for a second time, you have added an entry referring to the "Protestants expel Catholic workers from the Harland and Wolff shipyard". As with my first revert of the entry, your entry needs to have a link to an actual article about this actual event. Simply linking to Harland & Wolff is not sufficient. I doubt that such an article exists, as even the main article only refers to "During the 1920s, Catholic workers were routinely expelled from working in the shipyard" - without even a specific date. Please reply with a reason/article that you feel will fulfil the requirements for keeping this entry. Thanks, Kiwipete (talk) 06:45, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

message: This period of communal violence began on 21 July 1920 with the shipyard clearances or expulsions. This one day event (shipyard clearances) is commonly referred to as the Belfast Pogrom and is well documented and referenced in the linked article - Belfast Pogrom. On 21 July 1920 thousands of Belfast shipyard workers were driven from their work with much violence. This one day event deserves to be included on July 21. Here's one reference to a newspaper article that tells of the events of this date and number of workers forced from their jobs and the ensuing violence etc: .Palisades1 (talk) 17:00, 7 May 2022 (UTC)
