• Why is there a link to the National Council on Child Abuse & Family Violence near the bottom of this page? Is this on the strength of it being Children's Day in Mexico?

The link itself goes to this specific date (April 30) as its "No Hitting" day. It makes references to 2003 and the link (not the idea) may no longer be relevant. -- Borameer ™ 18:01, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

• 1991 - Zoe Masters, very very very very smart person

Tip: Some people find it helpful if these suggestions are shown on this talk page, rather than on another page. To do this, just add {{User:LinkBot/suggestions/April_30}} to this page. — LinkBot 00:53, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)

How did Kirsten Duntz get born twice?

[edit] Virgin Radio

I've re-added the launch of Virgin Radio. I think the first national commercial rock radio station on MW in the United Kingdom, the station that threatened Radio One's broadcasting hold and was backed a multimillionaire and owner of an international company and one that later employed names such as Chris Evans, Nick Abbot, Tommy Vance etc is a little more than "not notable"

Eugenespeed (talk) 00:18, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

It might be marginally notable in the UK but how notable is it for the rest of the world? I see it being about as notable as the day Howard Stern first appeared on Sirius satellite radio. -- Mufka ^{(u) (t) (c)} 01:36, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Addition Needed

Could someone with more skills than I have add Mary Phelps Jacob, b. April 30, 1891, to the birthday roll and link to her entry? Thanks!
