Shouldn't the "Joan of Arc" entry be a *Death* rather than a birth?

No, she didn't die on January 6; she is said to have been born on January 6.  —— Anna Kucsma 15:19, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Patrick Stalter?

There are a number of edits to this article made by 141.151.247.98 referring to a certain "Patrick Stalter," born 1993. A quick google search for '"Patrick Stalter" 1993' returns next to nothing. Furthermore, the IP 141.151.247.98 seems to be in use by the user FluteDude1693. I think Patrick, a.k.a. FluteDude1693 is convinced he belongs on this page. If nobody complains I will remove this case of vanity. --Netvor 14:52, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Christopher of Bavaria?

He is listed as being both born and dead on January 6, 1448. The article on him says that he died this day, but was born February 26th.

Thanks for pointing that out :). I've removed him from births. Fabricationary 21:10, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Benjamin Franklin

On this page, he is listed as a January 6 birth. On the Benjamin Franklin article, it is said to be January 17. Rmpfu89 01:13, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

The accuracy of this statement is controversial:

1994 - Nancy Kerrigan is clubbed on the right leg by an assailant under orders from figure skating rival Tonya Harding.

Ms. Harding was not convicted of any such crime and there was never any proof that she did. The information as to what Ms. Harding was convicted of doing is readily available. This appears to be an irresponsible statement linked to press reports at the time that were not supported by the later court records. 64.241.37.140 01:38, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
