Moved from article:

1991 - Erika Winner, ski racer

Although apparently correct (at least, she seems to be a U.S. junior ski racer, see [1], although I didn't find a confirmation for her birthdate), I doubt that this is truly noteworthy. Let's add her again when she's won a FIS race, ok? (Entry was added on March 4, 2003 in this edit by IP 12.224.88.192.) Lupo 08:29, 18 Mar 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Canadian Election, 2006

It says it was the first Canadian Election held in winter. This is not true. There was another one, which I can't recall, but amd going to look up and change. Kaiser matias 05:44, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unclear

Again, in the canadian elections. It currently says "2006 - After 12 years of Liberal Party's rule, Stephen Harper's (pictured) Conservative Party wins the most seats in the Canadian federal election. Harper becomes the 22nd Prime Minister of Canada with a minority government.". This is unclear. Is this guy the 22nd every prime minister in Canada, or the 22nd prime minister of Canada with a minority government? Codu ^(t)⁄_(c) • 15:09, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] David Anber

My edit was removed and noted as vandalism. I'd like to note that first, it was a good faith edit, and second I think it is correct (which is why it is good faith). It seems in line with the consensus at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Days_of_the_Year#Criteria_for_listing_in_Births_and_Deaths. The person in question, David Anber served one term on the national executive of a now-defunct Canadian political party. --JGGardiner 22:54, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
