[edit] Moved/removed
Removed:
- 1373 - Anglo-Portuguese Alliance: England and Portugal sign a treaty of alliance which has never been broken.
It does appear to have happened in 1373 but I could not confirm an exact date outside of Wikipedia mirrors. --mav 06:32, 13 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Removed - already at May 18:
- 1774 - Rhode Island is the first colony to outlaw the importation of slaves
This is simply wrong. It was on May 18, 1652. --mav 06:32, 13 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Remved:
- 1973 - Vietnam War: Henry Kissinger and Le Duc Tho sign a peace agreement.
Could not be confirmed outside of 'this day in history'-type pages. --mav 06:32, 13 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Question re 1920 entry: There was no such thing as the United States Postal Service in 1920. It was the Post Office Department. I can find no documentation to verify the strange comment about them ruling that children can not be shipped via parcel post.
Response: See New York Times, June 14, 1920: http://query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?_r=1&res=9804E0D9133AE03ABC4C52DFB066838B639EDE&oref=slogin —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.168.137.34 (talk) 01:13, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] World Children's Day in the US?
Excuse me, but it's either national or international. It can't be international if it's only celebrated in one nation. Bob 13:13, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
