Wikipedia talk:Selected anniversaries/October 29

message: Removed: 1945  - At Gimbels Department Store in New York City the first ballpoint pens go on sale (price: $12.50 each). 
:The article  specifies trhat biros were made in Argentina two years previous to this (and presumably were also sold there, not merely stockpiled indefinately). So the anniversary is of the first US sales, not the first World sales ... and we're not into US-centricism, non? --Tagishsimon
:: Good call. I'm against US-centricism and I missed that.  Thanks. -- PFHLai 12:32, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)

message: I read in my local paper that today was Black Tuesday in 1929. There is an article for it, under The Wall Street Crash of '29. THis is an important event, and it triggered the worst economic dperession to date. Should it be included? 
1929 - The New York Stock Exchange crashes in what will be called the Crash of '29 or Black Tuesday, ending the Great Bull Market of the 1920s and beginning the Great Depression.

replies: text: Thanks for the suggestion. The Wall Street Crash of 1929 started on "Black Thursday" the week before. This crash was mentioned on MainPage on October 24. Let's not repeat-feature the same events. Thanks. --PFHLai 09:43, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

message: It may be too late to include this, but October 29, 2018 is the 100th anniversary of one of the last surviving star actresses of the silent era, Diana Serra Cary -- known in her time on screen as "Baby Peggy". I don't think it's too much to her her listed in the births/deaths section on this day, given the significance of the anniversary. :-) Stolengood (talk) 03:50, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

message: The entry for 1955 "An explosion, likely caused by a World War II–era naval mine, capsized the Soviet ship Novorossiysk in the harbor of Sevastopol, with the loss of 608 men." is discrepant with the article at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_battleship_Giulio_Cesare, which claims that 617 men were lost. Please fix one or the other. 98.151.249.222 (talk) 06:07, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
