Clocks in the 12th century were not very accurate.  I rewrote the text in the Charles Bridge article to make clear that this 5:31 a.m. is a "specified time".  If they got it right to the nearest five minutes, then they were probably doing pretty good for that era.  We do not know what really happened, but I suppose there is no need to change the text.  That is, unless we care about reporting "the Truth". -- 75.26.5.242 00:57, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  stone "was laid" at a particular minute? 

message: One of the entries on this page does not read well:
1944 – World War II: American forces defeated Japanese on the island of Saipan in the Mariana Islands.
I would suggest a change to:
1944 – World War II: American forces defeated Japanese forces on the island of Saipan in the Mariana Islands.
Yes, I know it's mind-blowingly trivial but that's the consequence of page protection! Cynical (talk) 18:08, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
