Moved from article:

• 1981 - James Stevens, film director and actor

While IMDB does have a few James Stevenses (a few are probably duplicates), none of these verifies this entry made on Sep 22, 2003 by IP 172.131.99.94 in this edit. Lupo 08:09, 18 Mar 2004 (UTC)

CalRis 07:36, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC): I removed the following entry because of factual errors: 1910 - The first radio broadcast. Inventor Lee De Forest broadcasts a live performance of Enrico Caruso from the Metropolitan Opera. The first radio broadcast was made by Reginald Fessenden.

The orginasation (or whatever it is supposed to be) "Lovers of Life International" and their celebration of "Day of Orgiastic Life" caught my eye... Searching in Google for both terms, no hits suggest that these items exist in the real world, outside the closed circuit of such lists (see also Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Days_of_the_Year). --Niels Ø 12:07, Jan 13, 2005 (UTC)
