Talk:September 1

message: Wikipedia policy indicates that no edits are allowed on this topic without discussion therefore I have not made the necessary correction. The entry records that Germany and Russia invaded Poland on September 1, 1939, this is incorrect. While Germany invaded on September 1, Russia did not invade until September 17 [see, Antony Beevor, The Second World War (2012), p. 32; or any standard historical text on WWII]. I suppose September 1 is in the ballpark, and would meet Wikipedia standards but it is otherwise in error.

replies: text: I'm not sure if the Byzantines actually regarded 1 September 5509 as the date of Creation. Much more common among first millennium Christian historians, including early Byzantine historians like Maximus the Confessor, was to regard 25 March as the date of Creation (at the beginning of the first year in whatever system of year numbering used by that historian). Nevertheless, 1 September was certainly the epoch of the calendar used after the tenth century, that is, the years of the Julian calendar used by the later Byzantine Empire for civil purposes were numbered such that the first year began on 1 September 5509 BC. This method was also used by Russia from the end of the fifteenth century through AD 1699. In AD 1700 it adopted 1 January as the first day of the year and also adopted the Anno Domini era used by Western Europe (between AD 989 and the late fifteenth century Russia used Byzantine numbering from 1 March). Referring to it as an epoch removes all religious connotations—it becomes a simple historical fact. It is already listed as a Creation date in dating Creation, rightly or wrongly. — Joe Kress 10:36, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

is the Rescue of Roger Mallinson and Roger Chapman notable enough to be inserted at the September 1 page?

replies: text: It doesn't appear to have much international coverage. Deb (talk) 13:01, 16 July 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: The word about the rescue made it at least across the Atlantic Ocean. The New York Times had an article. https://www.nytimes.com/1973/09/02/archives/2-in-submarine-rescued-as-it-is-raised-on-3d-day-sub-is-raised-and.html and the canadian newspaper Le Soleil had also an article https://numerique.banq.qc.ca/patrimoine/details/52327/3112562 Besides of this the BBC made a documentary: https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-23862359. Roger Chapman later developed the rescue submersible LR5 which was used by the Royal British Navy from 1978 to 2009. The US Navy supported the rescue operation with the Cable-controlled Undersea Recovery Vehicle CURV which was flown to Ireland in order to rescue the two lifes. So, I do not agree with your quick statement that there is not much international coverage. Remember this happend back in 1973 where the Internet was not yet invented. ;-) Yeti-Hunter (talk) 13:46, 16 July 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm sure it did make it across the Atlantic but that's not exactly international. I would expect an event of international importance to be covered in multiple Wikipedias. Deb (talk) 10:12, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
