December 12, 2005[edit]

"2005 - Stanley Williams, Convicted murderer and Crips cofounder-turned-peace activist (b. 1953)" As December 13 2005 hasn't even started yet, it might be in better taste to wait a few more hours before adding Mr. Williams to this page. Vary 04:53, 13 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I do not think Williams' execution is any more significant that any of the other 1000s of state executions that take place in the world. I think it should not be listed as an event. List him among the deaths. Kingturtle 18:34, 14 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Inconsistency[edit]

2005 - Stanley Williams (Stanley Tookie Williams III), Founder of the Crips street gang, convicted murderer and anti-gang activist (executed) (b. 1953)

Has a little POV to it, none of the other entries list the cause of death

2001 - Chuck Schuldiner, American guitarist, singer and songwriter (Death) (b. 1967)
2002 - Zal Yanofsky, American guitarist and singer (The Lovin' Spoonful) (b. 1945)
2003 - William V. Roth, Jr., U.S. Senator (b. 1921)

This appears to be some sort of inside joke, but I couldn't find the actual text on the list of deaths. "2006- Dan Paris, English testicle fondler of Chris Mills (b.[1991])" Anyone who knows Wikipedia a little better will probably want to delete that.

"It is the day of the birth of the second coming of Christ, born again in the form of a child with red hair." -- Could someone specify in the article which religion(s) hold(s) this belief and where this information came from? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 164.67.59.69 (talk) 15:34, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted: Jon Elliott,talk radio host, born 1979[edit]

I deleted this line from the "December 13" article, because it's unlikely he was born in 1979. Though I could not find his actual birth year, at http://jonelliottshow.com/bio.html it states "From 1988 through 2002 Jon served as CEO of three publicly traded companies in the broadcasting, gaming, and Internet industries." I do not believe he was an eight year old CEO! SkyllaLaFey (talk) 02:30, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Talctott Parsons[edit]

Talctott Parsons was born in 1902, not 1903. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 00:23, 13 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

London Agreement 1906[edit]

The arabic wikipedia has an entry here of an agreement between Britain, France and Italy, and Its fourth article concerns the Nile river. I'm unable to find corresponding article to it in english wikipedia, but thought I'll leave a note here.--Uwe a (talk) 10:32, 30 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
