[edit] Dachau

As of March 2004 [[Dachau concentration camp] is a stub

1933 - Dachau, the first Nazi concentration camp, is completed.

No longer a stub, and it's now posted. -- PFHLai 21:55, 2005 Mar 19 (UTC)

[edit] Fire in Boston

Is there an article about the Great Fire of Boston? If not, let's delete it from this page. RickK | Talk 07:09, 14 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Not yet, but Boston has that info in it. Item restored. --mav 09:34, 14 Mar 2004 (UTC)

I removed it as this fire seems not too significant, esp. when compared to Great Boston Fire of 1872 and Cocoanut Grove fire. And, we do have bigger 'old news' items with decent Wikipages to feature this year. -- PFHLai 21:55, 2005 Mar 19 (UTC)

[edit] Equinox

I don't know if this is the right place to say this but it's odd how the equinox is considered "2004" since it's really every year. How can we fix this?

So does Christmas. See Template:December 25 selected anniversaries. --mav 17:30, 20 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Actually, the Vernal equinox can be anywhere from March 19 to 22. It's off by a few hours every year, more in a leap year. Please see Gregorian Calendar#Calendar seasonal error. -- PFHLai 07:19, 2005 Mar 18 (UTC)

[edit] Invasion of Iraq

2003 - Invasion of Iraq: In the early hours of the morning, U.S.-led forces entered Iraqi territory.

As of March 19, 2004 there are NPOV and accuracy disputes on that page. When/if this changes then this entry can be placed back in. --mav 22:36, 19 Mar 2004 (UTC)

The NPOV tag is still on the page 2003 invasion of Iraq this year. This anniversary will probably have to stay off the MainPage for another year. The template is full, anyway. -- PFHLai 21:55, 2005 Mar 19 (UTC)

Same problem persists in 2006. --PFHLai 07:24, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
