Why do all the nationalities dissapear? Not that I particularly like the style suggested at Historical anniversaries/Example but I do like that the nationalites are given, even though only for the birth dates... --Tobias Hövekamp
OK, I guess, I was just mislead by reading 'Country' in Historical anniversaries/Example. Anyhow, why not adding them? --Tobias
- Better to concentrate on the things they are famous for, I think. Nationality, height, shoe size, etc., can be left for the main article.

[edit] 1917: Lithuania declares its independence from the Soviet Union
Is it correct to talk about the Soviet Union in Dec 1917? Also, History of Lithuania has nothing special for this date. –User:Hajor 05:32, 11 Dec 2003 (UTC)
- No, the Soviet Union was formed as a result of the russian revolution during WW1, and this date is before then. However, Lithuania probably did declare independence at some point after this, I suspect this year is the wrong one given. Homestarmy 19:07, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Reversion of Murugan Thiruchelvam's Birthday
Can someone explain to me why the addition of Murugan Thiruchelvam's birthday was reverted? I can understand that you'd do it if he weren't notable and the whole article got deleted, but if he's worth including at all, why not his birthday?
[edit] Sydney riots
What is the problem with the description? Please outline as clearly as possible.
