Excuse my ignorance, but the following birth

• 1987 - Shakeer Rahman, actor

is unverifiable for me. Found nothing, not even for "Shakir Rahman". Nothing in Google, IMDb, nor at the Bollywood Movie Database. Maybe some Bollywood actor? Or a prank entry? Lupo 08:44, 5 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Charles Kingsley: Most sites say his birthday is June 12.

I'm as big a proponent of open-source as anyone else, but I'm sorry; the release of KDE 1.0 is not of significant historic import. Vertigo 19:02, 12 Jul 2004 (UTC)

[edit] No Rain Day

No Rain Day in the Salem, Oregon (USA)

It hasn't rained on July 12 in the Salem, Oregon (USA) since the beginning of weather logging 113 years ago.

1988 - Shawn Smith, God of the world. 1990 - Max Dishler, Supreme Master of the Universe

Is it just me or is this wrong. Shawn Smith seems to be a singer, I can't find anything on Max Dishler.

[edit] Birth year of Abigail Williams

She is listed has being born in 1674, but the Salem Witch Trials occured in 1692 (roughly), which would have made her 18 while they occured. According to the Wiki article, Abigail was 11 during the trials. A fictionalized account of the events (Arthur Miller's "The Crucible" puts her at 17.

[edit] Kevin Bargo?

Who is Kevin Bargo. He is listed under Births as a "Great American," but why? What does he or did he do? I am an American, and I personally have never heard of him. Mike19772007 18:12, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Probably a vanity edit, i.e. someone adding their own name when they aren't supposed to. I probably removed him. Sifaka ^talk 22:05, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
