* 1991 - Erika Winner, ski racer
Although apparently correct (at least, she seems to be a U.S. junior ski racer, see , although I didn't find a confirmation for her birthdate), I doubt that this is truly noteworthy. Let's add her again when she's won a FIS race, ok? (Entry was added

thread_title:  Canadian Election, 2006 

message: Again, in the canadian elections. It currently says "2006 - After 12 years of Liberal Party's rule, Stephen Harper's (pictured) Conservative Party wins the most seats in the Canadian federal election. Harper becomes the 22nd Prime Minister of Canada with a minority government.". This is unclear. Is this guy the 22nd every prime minister in Canada, or the 22nd prime minister of Canada with a minority government? Codu (t)⁄(c) •  15:09, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

message: My edit was removed and noted as vandalism.  I'd like to note that first, it was a good faith edit, and second I think it is correct (which is why it is good faith).  It seems in line with the consensus at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Days_of_the_Year#Criteria_for_listing_in_Births_and_Deaths.  The person in question, David Anber served one term on the national executive of a now-defunct Canadian political party.  --JGGardiner 22:54, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Suggestion 

message: The standard term for all references to American people in Wikicalendar articles is to use the word American.  I'm not an English expert but it seems that the word American is an adjective and describes the person's nationality.  The abbreviation US is short for United States and is a noun and does not describe the object. I can say "George Bush is American"  I cannot say "George Bush is United States".  One wouldn't say "Tony Blair is England" but one could say "Tony Blair is English".  Also if such a change is indeed warranted, it needs to be changed on all of the date articles not just one.  I don't know how using American is considered un-PC.  I also don't know of an article that discusses this.  -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 04:30, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

I am curious to why you removed my entry under Events about Hulk Hogan winning his first WWF title? It qualifies as an important event of January 23, 1984, just as much as the event about O.J. Simpson in 1985 or any number of other events noted on the January 23 page.  Daniellofquist (talk) 12:22, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Hulk Hogan winning his first title is not a long-term globally notable event.  It is only important to wrestling fans and has no impact on the lives of non-fans.  Also, being picked by a producer to be the champion isn't much of an accomplishment.  Please do not bring other events into the discussion because each entry needs to be evaluated on its own merits.  The newest entries always get attention first.  -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 16:29, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

text: Hulk Hogan is nothing more than a fictional character.  Saying that this event is notable is like saying that the day that Rocky Balboa defeated Apollo Creed in Rocky II was a notable event.  The first time that Muhammad Ali won the boxing championship isn't notable, how could this be?  As far as I know, there are no entries about rock musicians or football players (except in the rare cases when they have broken world records).  And if you look more closely, you will see that I have removed hundreds of non-notable entries, but new entries are constantly being added and there are only so many hours in the day.  Please have a look at WP:DAYS and WP:NGS for information on what can be included in the date articles.  -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 00:19, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

message: I have removed Tanya Savicheva from the birth list of January 25th because she was actually born on January 23rd. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=January_25&oldid=1226791695
Please add the following line to the birth list:
*1930 – Tanya Savicheva, Russian child diarist (d. 1944) Ivangorin21 (talk) 21:13, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: You would first need to find a reliable source. Her own article states "Some authors list 25 January as being Savicheva's birth date". Kiwipete (talk) 04:37, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: On both English and Russian wiki pages it says 23 January in the preamble and the infobox. As far as I can see, most sources say 23rd, and the source cited in the Russian wiki page specifically says: "was born on January 23, 1930 (I make this specification because, unfortunately, in some publications there are conflicting information about Tanya's age)". If this is the more probable date of birth, shouldn't we put it on this page? Otherwise it won't be mentioned on any date page Ivangorin21 (talk) 20:42, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
