[edit] "Schicksalstag" in Germany?

As a German I've never heard the expression "Schicksalstag". Some major events in German history happened on november 9th, but we don't call that "Schicksalstag" and we don't really commemorate these events, except the one of 1938; however, the expression "Schicksalstag" is wrong and irritating.--62.246.64.12 14:27, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

According to de.wikipedia it's a term mostly used by historians and jounalists, but has become used more often outside those circles since 1989.
Nach Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs wurde von verschiedenen Historikern und Journalisten
für diesen Tag der Ausdruck Schicksalstag geprägt, der aber erst nach den Ereignissen
vom Herbst 1989 weitere Verbreitung fand.
Simply because you havent heard of something doesn't make it untrue. But having said that, neither the en or de articles have any references. It's possible this term is WP:POV loaded? --Monotonehell 02:40, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Amman Bombings

They happened today. How can you add them to the "On this day" section? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amman_bombings —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 193.108.134.36 (talk • contribs) .

It's already at November 9, from where new items are pulled. If you want to make a special request for next year, the relevant talk page would be your best bet. - BanyanTree 20:59, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
