Lionel Messi

Rather sure he was born on 14th June. Can someone verify and, then, add this? ASAP, obv. o/ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 169.229.54.72 (talk) 07:47, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

Hawaii

According to the articles Hawaii and Republic of Hawaii, the Republic lasted only until 1898.

According to the article Hawaii, the islands officially became part of the US on Feb 22 in 1900.

If no one objects, I will delete the entry in the June 14 article, as it seems to be wrong. --zeno 15:42 Mar 6, 2003 (UTC)

The "Index of Prohibited Books" abolishment looks real, [1] confirms year and [2] gives date of "Notificazione riguardante l’abolizione dell’Indice dei libri (Notificatio de Indicis librorum prohibitorum conditione), June 14, 1966" -- Mikko Paananen 07:19, 15 Jun 2004 (UTC)

• 1986 - Dillon Isaac Rodriguez, American (b. 1918) [Death]

Moved:

• 1947 - Barry Melton, guitarist (Country Joe and the Fish) moved from Deaths to Births

New York Rangers

The end of the New York Rangers 54 year drought in 1994 is not a globally notable event. It is sports trivia. -- Mufka ^{(u) (t) (c)} 17:50, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Additionally, the Stanley Cup is won every year, so is the Super Bowl and the MLB championship. None of these events are globally notable because they are predictable and happen every year. This particular entry is only notable for Rangers fans. The Red Sox 86 year drought is not notable either. -- Mufka ^{(u) (t) (c)} 02:40, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

The reason this is notable is because it ended a 54 year drought. That doesn't happen every year. Sure the trophy is handed out every year, but the team that wins it isn't always ending such a long drought. It was the longest one at the time. Also, is there some sort of rule against posting sports events? Just because you don't think it's necessary doesn't mean it isn't. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. Why shouldn't there be as much information as possible in it?--Nyr3188^{(u) (t) (c)} 03:04, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

These date articles will tend to lose their value as useful sources of truly globally notable events if every pseudo notable event is added. Your statement that Just because you don't think it's necessary doesn't mean it isn't is entirely correct. It doesn't matter what I think. It matters what everyone agrees to. The spirit of the Wikicalendar articles is to make note of extraordinarily notable human events. Yes, there is a lot of junk in the articles, but there is only so much time in the day. The fact that the New York Rangers won a Stanley Cup after 54 years does not affect the price of tea in China. It is not a major human accomplishment or groundbreaking discovery that changed lives. It did not break a major record or set a social precedent. It didn't affect the world economy or even change the sport of hockey forever. I assume that you are a New York Rangers fan (judging by your name) so you might be a little biased as to the importance of the event. I try to look at these things objectively and I use established precedent to make the determination of notability. Have a look at this for what is the working guideline for notability for Wikicalendar articles. -- Mufka ^{(u) (t) (c)} 03:20, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 14 June 2019

Under Events, the sentences "Badi VII, king of Sennar, surrenders his throne and realm to Ismail Pasha, general of the Ottoman Empire, bringing the 300 year old Sudanese kingdom to an end" and "Brazil leaves the League of Nations" are both missing a period at the end. 98.210.124.96 (talk) 21:17, 14 June 2019 (UTC)

Fred Baur

On Baur's page, his birth date is listed as being July 14th, not June 14th, however he appears in this list. If there are no objections, I should like to move this to the appropriate date. Jammingtonbear (talk) 09:13, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

Jammingtonbear Yes, and please include the reference from the Cincinnati Enquirer with the new entry. Deb (talk) 09:31, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
