[edit] Third Casino
Here is an excerpt from the recent page history:
- 19:18, 14 December 2006 Misterrick (talk • contribs) m (Re-Reverted CalendarWatcher Reversion. Please stop. You have been previously warned by admins in your talk page to stop unnecessarily removing info. If you continue you will be edit blocked.)
- 11:19, 14 December 2006 CalendarWatcher (talk • contribs) (re-revert: who would actually care about the third of something?)
- 04:51, 14 December 2006 Misterrick m (Rev. Last Edit by CalendarWatcher to last edit by CalendarWatcher on 12 Dec 2006. Yes the Park Place Casino was only the third casino to open on that day.)
- 22:27, 13 December 2006 CalendarWatcher (→Events - del "1979 - Atlantic City's third casino the Bally's on Park Place opens." Third?)
I think discussion should take place here and not only in the summaries. As I understand Calendarwatcher, the opening of the first casino (first in the USA? first in New Jersey? first in Atlantic City?) could be a noteworthy event, but the third is not. I also could not find any mention of this casino in Gambling in the United States; perhaps there is an article about history of gambling in the United States?
Since I do not see an argument from Misterrick, I think that calendardwatcher is right, and will revert again to his/her version.

[edit] Eid ul-Adha
I think the Eid ul-Adha (Arabic: عيد الأضحى) should be added. Christian holidays are references, so Islam should be as well. The Eid ul-Adha (Arabic: عيد الأضحى) or Eid-e Qurban (Persian: عید قربان) which is celebrated to commemorate Prophet Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his son for God. by 208.58.196.156 10:15, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
- I think we do not list holidays (such as Easter, Yom Kippur, Eid ul-Adha) that have a movable date relative to the Gregorian calendar on these pages. --Austrian 23:13, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] 15,000th Premiership goal
I think we need to add the fact that the 15000th FA Barclays Premiership goal by Moritz Volz. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.6.18.199 (talk • contribs) 16:10, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
- Was this really an "event"? Who shot the 10000th goal? Who shot the 12345th goal? Who shot the 1000th goal in a world championship?--Austrian 23:13, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
