message: How is the announcement of Sarah Palin not noteworthy?  This is the first female GOP candidate for Vice-President.  Someone keeps deleting it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.83.231.41 (talk • contribs) 
:The first thing that needs to be pointed out is that the announcement on this date is simply an announcement. She is not the nominee yet, although there is little doubt that she will be.  The announcement has little historical significance.  The second thing is that she won't be the first female vice-presidential candidate.  The fact that she is the first Republican doesn't matter.  This is not a milestone and it does not set a precedent.  The announcement is certainly newsworthy, but in and of itself, it does not have long term global significance.  Items that are simply newsworthy do not belong here.  -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 21:27, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

message: According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skynet_(Terminator), Skynet gained self-awareness on August 29, 1997, within the fictional Terminator universe. Would it be appropriate to put this in the events section of this page? If not, could a link to the above reference be included in a See More section or something, apart from the serious part of the page?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jonathon Hank (talk • contribs) 06:58, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

message: According to [[wikipedia]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_calendar]], the first day of Thoth is 29th August in the Julian calender.  That equates to 11th Sept in the modern Gregorian calender, so I'm putting it there.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Annasdottir (talk • contribs) 14:19, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

message: Right: is it possible for someone to sort out the date of the first radio advert?
According to this page, the first advert was on WEAF-AM, on 29th August, 1922.
But, according to Wikipedia’s own article on the subject, the first advert was on WEAF-AM on 28th August, 1921https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_advertisement#History!
Can we have this clarified and cleaned up, please?
Many Thanks

message: Per WP:BIRTHDOY only people with there on article should be listed.  "Being part of a group with an article or having the page that bears one's name redirected to a different article does not qualify as having one's own article."  I don't believe that Liam Payne meets this criteria.   meamemg (talk) 03:33, 27 December 2014 (UTC)
