Birthday of Donald Duck

[edit] December 12, 2005

"2005 - Stanley Williams, Convicted murderer and Crips cofounder-turned-peace activist (b. 1953)" As December 13 2005 hasn't even started yet, it might be in better taste to wait a few more hours before adding Mr. Williams to this page. Vary 04:53, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

I do not think Williams' execution is any more significant that any of the other 1000s of state executions that take place in the world. I think it should not be listed as an event. List him among the deaths. Kingturtle 18:34, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Inconsistency

2005 - Stanley Williams (Stanley Tookie Williams III), Founder of the Crips street gang, convicted murderer and anti-gang activist (executed) (b. 1953)

Has a little POV to it, none of the other entries list the cause of death

• 2001 - Chuck Schuldiner, American guitarist, singer and songwriter (Death) (b. 1967)
• 2002 - Zal Yanofsky, American guitarist and singer (The Lovin' Spoonful) (b. 1945)
• 2003 - William V. Roth, Jr., U.S. Senator (b. 1921)

This appears to be some sort of inside joke, but I couldn't find the actual text on the list of deaths. "2006- Dan Paris, English testicle fondler of Chris Mills (b.[1991])" Anyone who knows Wikipedia a little better will probably want to delete that.

• "It is the day of the birth of the second coming of Christ, born again in the form of a child with red hair." -- Could someone specify in the article which religion(s) hold(s) this belief and where this information came from? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 164.67.59.69 (talk) 15:34, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Deleted: Jon Elliott,talk radio host, born 1979

I deleted this line from the "December 13" article, because it's unlikely he was born in 1979. Though I could not find his actual birth year, at http://jonelliottshow.com/bio.html it states "From 1988 through 2002 Jon served as CEO of three publicly traded companies in the broadcasting, gaming, and Internet industries." I do not believe he was an eight year old CEO! SkyllaLaFey (talk) 02:30, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
