message: Hi Mufka, 
You recently reverted (removed) my edit to the July 25 page (Laurence Olivier's marriage).  Why?  The event appears to be true (it's on Olivier's page), and it's of interest (to me, anyway).

replies: text: The reason for removal was that it wasn't supported by a link to an article that covers the story.  Separately, it doesn't meet WP:DOY for the same reason that most plane crashes don't.  Newsworthy and noteworthy in this context are quite different.  If this proves to have some widespread impact on train travel and changes laws in several countries, maybe it should be included.  But at this time, it appears to have very limited impact.  -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 04:03, 26 July 2013 (UTC)

message: === 615 – Pakal ascends the throne of Palenque at the age of 12. ===
According to the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar article, in the Correlations between Western calendars and the Long Count section, it says that the generally accepted correlation constant is the Modified Thompson 2, "Goodman–Martinez–Thompson", or GMT correlation of 584,283 days. That means the date of Pakal's ascension should be July 27, not July 29. The July 29 date is using the Thompson/Lounsbury (584,285) JDN correlation.
In my humble opinion, the entry should be moved to July 27 so that Wikipedia remains constant throughout the different articles. Chuck Coker (talk) 20:14, 29 July 2019 (UTC)

message: How is the precise date, let alone the year, 2492 BC used, as a prospective calendar date (even if it is mythological), when the Armenians did not exist as a people, grouping or idea? It is particularly troubling because no society or culture had a known calendar, or the technological skills to assemble one at this point, to distinguish or record what we now know to be a solar year. At this juncture, only lunar calendars existed. Historically, ancient calendar dates ascribe what we now know to be solar or calendar years, by their association with king lists that provide sequences of chronology - but no actual years because they did not know themselves what years, let alone the context of the month of a particular year - and purported events that may have happened in that interval. The "2492 BC – Traditional date of the defeat of Bel by Hayk, progenitor and founder of the Armenian nation." is a contrived date, imagined and invented by its 2 historical archivists (1 from the 5th century AD, the other 200 years ago) before Babylon is thought to have historically existed, but is not a valid date either as a tradition, or certainly as a historically-ascribed date of occurrence. The second part of the problem of use of this specific date developed 200 years ago, is it was first developed for the Julian calendar, when both of its historian sources used the Julian Calendar for dating in Armenia, and does not apply to, nor was it converted to the Gregorian Calendar. It is meaningless to use as a referred-to date, and should only be included here as a date once assigned by conjectured historicism from an earlier epic, if at all. But it would have no direct equivalents into the modern era. It is a myth about a myth...Stevenmitchell (talk) 22:35, 11 August 2019 (UTC)

message: I've just re-added two events that were removed simply because I pointed out that there were not WP articles on them. I never intended for them to be removed, as the former is indisputably an historical event and the latter arguably so. In fact, I think it's shameful that this date page has fewer than 30 events associated with it. The sort of old-school exclusionism reflected in earlier comments on this talk page is to blame, IMO. I wish people editing these dates pages would wake up to how different WP is content-wise from a traditional encyclopedia. Mufka's suggestion above that an event has to be included in history textbooks and be reported annually in newscasts in order to qualify for a date page is to my mind astonishingly out of step with the content of WP. If we actually adhered to anything like that, we'd have to remove about half of the events on this page--but please, please don't anyone do that just out of zealous exclusionism.

replies: text: Hi there. I'm sorry, but I think you're interpreting this the wrong way. I wasn't bold; I simply removed an external link that was incorrectly used as a reference. Normally, I would add it back properly formatted, but since our MOS doesn't require a source for each DOY entry, and that date isn't controversial, I left it without one. Your reversal (instead of correctly adding that URL as a reference) suggests that you might be looking for a conflict rather than aiming for accuracy in the article (which, I'm sorry to say, is confirmed by your latest action). I reverted it back, explaining why a reference was not necessary there, and with your reversal the article is now in an incorrect state with an unnecessary reference incorrectly formatted. Since I not only don't pursue conflict but actively avoid it whenever I can, I'll leave the article and this discussion as they are, and you can proceed as you see fit. Cheers.
