[edit] Query re 1988 - Anna Svidersky, Girl from Myspace who was murdered

Is this a legitimate entry for the birth page? Hardly seems noteworthy to me but I am not knowledgeable of the subject material/relevance. I propose deletion on this page (but keep the article if justified) - thoughts? Thanks, Hu Gadarn 22:10, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] April 26 "Talk" material without heading(s)

Moved birth from article:

• 1989 - Ana Cecilia Montes, fighter

No verification found. And anyway, what kind of fighter? She'd be 15 now... Lupo 10:17, 22 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Google returns nothing of relevance. This sounds like patent nonsense added by an anon IP who made only one edit. Could be a fictional character, I suspect. —Morven 17:59, 22 Mar 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Which is correct?

Joey Jordison is listed here as 26 April, 1976, but his article says he was born on 26 April 1975.

I've changed it to 1975 per his page. Fabricationary 01:41, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reference to Sublime song

A user made reference to a Sublime song believing it to be called "April 26, 1992", when in actuality it is called "April 29, 1992 (Miami)" which deals with the 1992 Los Angeles Riots - which began on April 29 of 1992.

I removed the Rodney King Riots reference, since the 92 riots actually took place on the 29th onward, not the 26th. DumberDrummer (talk) 09:02, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Shakespeare

From Kara: I added Shakespeare's christened date and in parentheses I added that this was not his birthdate. This I learned in my English class and I thought someone might want to know that piece of information. 70.241.201.34 00:23, 2 April 2007 (UTC)Kara
