Can you please put today's event on the article? Australia celebrates ANZAC Day today.

Who is Richard Drynan? Should he really be included?

I arranged the holidays in alphabetical order and added Alice Day.

Somebody removed Alice Day claiming that it was illegitimate. However, it is recognized by a lot of people.

[edit] Alice Day

Unless anyone gives a good and valid reason why Alice Day shouldn't be on the page I will readd it. --81.227.83.65 (talk) 16:46, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Alice Day is not a mainstream, widely observed international observance. The minimum criteria for an observance to be included in the date articles is that the observance be the subject of its own article (except in the case of religious feasts which need to be mentioned in the subject's bio article). This observance is mentioned in Pro-pedophile_activism but it is not the subject of the article. The reference to Alice Day in the article is not supported by a source that mentions "female-attracted pedophiles" and therefore is only marginally supportive of the observance. Further, it seems to me that you have some sort of agenda regarding this issue since all of your edits have been in reference in some way to pedophilia. -- Mufka ^{(u) (t) (c)} 17:17, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Edward Drummond

• 1843 - Edward Drummond, British civil servant

Either his appearance in the Death List for 25th April is incorrect, or his Date of Death shown in his wiki bio is incorrect. It appears Mr Drummond died on January 25th 1843, not April 25th... Samilong (talk) 09:24, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
