Notable Events[edit]

If there has to be a list of events which occurred on 20 September, they should be "Notable Events". Many of the events listed are very obscure, or of purely local interest - such as "1962 – James Meredith, an African-American, is temporarily barred from entering the University of Mississippi".Royalcourtier (talk) 07:00, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The Prophet[edit]

As I write?

As I write, the page says Muhammed arrived in Medina on 20th September, of 622AD.

Yet most of The relevant articles say he there in late May.

Is it possible to get some clarification? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cuddy2977 (talk • contribs) 15:35, 8 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Area 51[edit]

Shall it be added the plans to raid area 51? It will probably happen, just know that it should be added? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 0w0 catt0s (talk • contribs) 05:06, 13 July 2019 (UTC) when we all grow up and i'm telling the tale of when me and the boys stormed the lands of the 51 because of some gorilla that died in 2016 that lead too these events,i'm gonna be seriously questioning my life choices leading up to my old ages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2404:4408:1306:A800:9452:BFC9:AAF4:D460 (talk) 01:13, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Independence Day of South Ossetia[edit]

It's a bit disingenuous to say "not fully recognized". The article South Ossetia says it is recognized by 5 states, which seem to be Russia and some clients. I'd be fine with leaving out "not fully recognized" altogether, which at least would not be as misleading. Or change to "limited recognition". --2607:FEA8:D5DF:F945:9055:BE8C:38FA:89AC (talk) 16:16, 15 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

On this day for 9/20/2022[edit]

I don't know why the thing re: Scientology is here when it's not even on the Events page for today. Also, I know you all want us to stay positive in our comments, but should this site even be considering things done by a con artist as noteworthy? JoeWiki1969 (talk) 15:49, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I see my plea was ignored, but I'm going to continue bring this issue up, as the events by a money-grubbing cult shouldn't be noted here unless its downfall is involved. JoeWiki1969 (talk) 01:10, 20 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@JoeWiki1969 - I don't see any entry for 20 September 2022. What are you talking about? Kiwipete (talk) 08:48, 20 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, you mean then entry above in the "Selected anniversaries for the "On this day" section of the Main Page" box. I think you need to raise your concerns here. Kiwipete (talk) 08:53, 20 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
