- 1741 - Vitus Bering departs Kamchatka to explore Alaska.
It did happen in 1741 but the June 5th date is only supported by bad sources as far as I could tell. Other possible dates: June 15th (log entry by the captain for that day as told by a 5th grade student), June 8th (only ref seems to be Encarta and works that used Encarta as a reference [http://encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_761569148_6/Alaska.html\). --mav 21:31, 4 Jun 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Rubik's Cube World Championships
I was just wondering why this event was deleted from the list. Is it not notable enough? (If it is not, it should also be removed from the 1982 page, where it is also listed.) I'd appreciate an explanation, if only so I can better understand what types of events are considered notable, and which ones are not. Thanks! --Twilightsojourn 20:27, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
