Talk:March 3

message: I added "2008 - Brett Favre announced his retirement after 17 NFL seasons." and it was promptly reverted by Mufka as a "nn event". What's "nn"?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.201.195.9 (talk) 17:47, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: NN means non-notable.  That means that it doesn't belong.  Events should be globally notable and impactful.  For ideas of what is considered globally notable see WP:NGS.  -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 17:56, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Can someone with more US histrical/research and wiki know-how than I correct the Mount Rushmore listing for March 3 (the year 1933 and description appear to be wrong)
1) March 3 is the congressional authorization seems not to be the dedication and wrong year
wikippedia's own site http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Rushmore  cites "Congress authorized the Mount Rushmore National Memorial Commission on March 3, 1925.[7] see also--http://lcweb2.loc.gov/diglib/legacies/SD/200003524.html
the National Park Systen site states march 5 as the authorization date by the state, but makes no mention of the Federal date beyon 1933 and before the March 5 state's date http://www.nps.gov/archive/moru/park_history/memorial_hist/memorial_history.htm
2) 1933---June 10 1933 It became a part of the National Park System 
3) Dedication date ---July 3, 1991 was the actual presidential dedication date  http://bushlibrary.tamu.edu/research/finding_aids/whorm/speeches.php#SP291 --setion SP806-01, TR115--
(with mini-dedications over the years for each face on the monument)

message: This AP article in the St. Petersburg Evening Independent, describing the Pig Award event as held the night before, was dated Saturday, March 2, 1985
http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=M-4LAAAAIBAJ&sjid=X1kDAAAAIBAJ&pg=7054,452535&dq=women+against+pornography+pig+award  
which would have the event on Friday,March 1,1985. No other documents are readily available. Unfortunately every website listing for this event has mimmicked this listing in Wikipedia for March 3. 75.199.7.80 (talk) 19:38, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Removed as unsupported.  Support must come from a linked article.  -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 20:08, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Women Against Pornography, Pig Award, might be incorrect day 

message: Maybe I'm missing the boat on this one, but I can't find any information pertaining to the 1974 event:
Roman Catholic and Lutheran officials reach an agreement for eventual reconciliation into one communion, marking the first agreement between the two churches since the Reformation
That is to say, I can't find anything except on "This Day in History" sites.
Does anybody know what this event is referring to? Does anyone have any issue with my removing it? Kentholke (talk) 22:03, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The event does not link to any articles that support it, so it should be removed.  -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 23:46, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  1974 Event: Roman Catholic and Lutheran... 

message: The entry "1820 – The U.S. Congress passes the Missouri Compromise." is on the page for March 3. However, when clicking on the link for "Missouri Compromise" ([Compromise]), that page states that the Missouri Compromise was passed by the 16th United States Congress on May 8, 1820"
Clearly one of the two is in error. However there are no citations on either entry.
Hopefully, someone with sufficient research skills can make the appropriate correction.
