--User:Maveric149 00:44, 1 Mar 2004 (UTC) Template:November 7 selected anniversaries - Template talk:November 7 selected anniversaries - [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Template:November_7_selected_anniversaries&action=edit edit] ---- Plz don't delete events. Somebody deleted 2002 - Iran bans advertising of US products. An Iranian, believing a sorcerer had made him invisible, attempts to rob a Tehran bank The first one is clearly an important event. The second one may not be too important but its damn interesting. :Well, I've removed the second one because the heading is "Major events", and I don't think it is "major" - it only really affects the Iranian themselves, maybe the bank, and possibly the sorceror. Even if the heading was just "events", I don't think it's a good idea to just list everything that happens on any particular day, the pages would get very unwieldy. I'm keeping the advertising ban in though, it seems a reasonable thing to mention here to me. However, are we sure we've got the right day? - Reuter's [http://reuters.com/news_article.jhtml?type=humannews&StoryID=1694399] say it was announced on state TV on Wednesday, while Newsday.com [http://www.newsday.com/news/nationworld/world/wire/sns-ap-iran-us1106nov06,0,6947070.story?coll=sns-ap-world-headlines] say it was announced on Thursday. Of course it might have been announced a day before coming into effect, but it'd be nice to see a clearer source if you have one, Lir. --User:Camembert yah, this was on wednesday. How about we add Interesting but unimportant events HOLD ON...what the hell-these news people sux-the problem here is one of time zones...I think it happaned on thursday our time but wednesday iranian time-but im not sure... :The convention is to list items based on the time it was where the event happened. --User:Maveric149 18:31, 7 Nov 2003 (UTC) ---- ''1848 - U.S. presidential election, 1848: Zachary Taylor is elected president in the US presidential election held in every state on the same day.'' Is there some significance to the US presidential election being held in every state on the same day that justifies mentioning that here? Every state's gonna have a Presidential election on November 2, 2004, too. It doesn't say Reagan was elected from 51 jurisdictions, even though he was. If Taylor was the first president to be so elected (as Nixon was the first to be elected from 51 jurisdictions, although the 'pedia doesn't mention that either), it should say so; otherwise, get rid of the thing. :He was the first. And any time a new president or other head of state is elected we should report that. --User:Maveric149 18:30, 7 Nov 2003 (UTC) ::I came off as hostiler than I intended; of course heads of state newly taking office are events. I was just a little puzzled that someone had said it was the first simultaneous election and then someone had apparently deleted "first" without altering the rest of the entry, making the simultaneous election part, which is "the thing" I meant, utterly uninformative. ::I still don't think we should add to the Nixon entry that it was the first Presidential election in 51 jurisdictions :) --User:Calieber 18:42, Nov 7, 2003 (UTC) --------------- Removed: ==Interesting but Unimportant Events== *2002 - An Iran, believing a sorcery had made him invisible, attempts to rob a Tehran banking Trivial local news. --User:Maveric149 08:49, 8 Nov 2003 (UTC) :It was labeled as trivial. That's what "unimportant" means. --User:Calieber 17:50, Nov 10, 2003 (UTC) ::Duh. ;) And its triviality was why it was removed. --User:Maveric149 18:16, 10 Nov 2003 (UTC) ==Day of Accord and Reconciliation in Russia== I'm planning to write on this day. Can anyone confirm if the official name has the prefix "The" i.e., is it "Day of Accord and Reconciliation" or "The Day of Accord and Reconciliation"? --User:Maha_ts 06:47, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC) : Looks like there is no official translation. Both versions with and without "the" are used. "The" does not add value, most other holiday names in Wiki don't use it. I suggest no "the". --User:Gene s :: Thanks, Gene. --User:Maha ts 16:59, Apr 1, 2005 (UTC)
