According to Omar Khayyam he was born on May 31

I think that Karl Marx was born on 5th May. This is confirmed on his page.

Karl Marx was indeed born on the 5th, removing. -- Borameer ™ 21:24, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] International Conscientious Objectors' Day

I have added International Conscientious Objectors' Day and an external reference link. 211.26.1.2 03:05, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] George Clooney Murderer

Now this is crazy.

"2007 - George Clooney is convicted of the murder of fellow actors Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson."

I'm deleting it.

Now this

"2007 - Gaberguts underwear brand reaches 1$ mark"

Looks like this is being spammed

[edit] Edit On November 23

I just added the area "Other Events" which now has stuff about Seussical and Horton Hears a Who!--Stealth500 (talk) 14:03, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Why did this get deleted? --Stealth500 (talk) 12:46, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

In order to keep all of the date articles consistent, new sections should be discussed on the project talk page. Any new section needs to be added to all 366 date articles. Additionally, there is no reason to separate Events and Other Events - what makes an event an other event? If an event is notable enough to be included, it should just go under Events. -- Mufka ^{(u) (t) (c)} 16:19, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Where do i do that? --Stealth500 (talk) 17:48, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

If you mean where do you propose a new section, here. -- Mufka ^{(u) (t) (c)} 18:27, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

I think we misunderstood each other. If you want to discuss whether your Seussical entry should be included, this is the best place to do so. If you want to make a new section for it, this other place is the place for it. So let's talk about Suessical. Your entry was "In the play the Seussical which is based on Horton Hears a Who! takes place on May 15." What exactly are you trying to say? -- Mufka ^{(u) (t) (c)} 22:11, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Seussical Reference

The Seussical happens on May 15th and I think it should have a link here since it can link to the Seussical making an internal link.

So? --Stealth500 (talk) 01:07, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Where does it happen on May 15? Does it take place on May 15th in its fictional setting? I'm not familiar with it. -- Mufka ^{(u) (t) (c)} 01:10, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

It takes place in the story of Horton Hears a Who! which Seussical is based on. Essentially the story starts on May 15th. --Stealth500 (talk) 01:32, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

In that case, it would be a fictional occurrence and it should not be included here. Fictional events are specifically excluded. Have a look here and here for info on what should be listed here. -- Mufka ^{(u) (t) (c)} 01:41, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

So where could it go? --Stealth500 23:18, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

It's already in the Horton Hears a Who! article and beyond that there is no place for it. It doesn't belong in any date articles if that is what you are asking. -- Mufka ^{(u) (t) (c)} 06:09, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
