[edit] Barboro

Should a horse really be put in the deaths section, which is normally reserved for humans? Maybe put it under the events section. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Art10 (talk • contribs) 18:30, 29 January 2007 (UTC).

Agreed. I moved it. Llamabr (talk) 18:37, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

This is generally not the case. The events section is reserved for items that are of particular global notability. Any birth or death is rarely considered globally notable enough to be included under events - least of all an animal. Births and Deaths sections are not reserved for humans. Notable animals can also be listed there. Personally, I don't agree that animals should be listed anywhere, but consensus says otherwise. -- Mufka ^{(u) (t) (c)} 18:54, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Emanuel Swedenborg

According to the Wikipedia entry for Emanuel Swedenborg he was born February 8 and not January 29. Probably Heisenberg (talk) 22:12, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Removed. In the future, just remove it. Don't be afraid to be bold. -- Mufka ^{(u) (t) (c)} 01:39, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
