Six day war[edit]

Can anyone confirm May 16, 1967 as the date Israel took Jerusalem in the Six Day War as listed in this article? This appears to be false. Economy1 (talk) 12:53, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Since the item is not supported, I have removed it. It can be added back if support (in the form of a link to a supporting article) is provided. -- Mufka ^(u) ^(t) ^(c) 13:18, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Brendan the Navigator[edit]

This entry had "Roman Catholic Church" listed after, implying that only that Church venerated him. The W article on him lists Anglican Communion and Eastern Orthodox Church as well. I put them in, but in general is it better to list them? Or leave it blank as in the majority of saints who are "generally" venerated. I notice that Andrew Bobola has nothing listed after his name, although the Orthodox certainly would not venerate him, and I presume neither would the Anglican Communion. --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 11:59, 16 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Women's suffrage in Kuwait[edit]

According to the relevant Wikipedia article and the source it cites (https://nvdatabase.swarthmore.edu/content/kuwaiti-women-struggle-suffrage-blue-revolution-2002-2005), this vote occurred on the 17th of May and not the 16th. I'll be happy to change it if that is the consensus Elspooky (talk) 05:56, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
