Moved births from article:

1982 - Michael Miller, civil rights activist
1983 - Peter Simon, Rugby Player

No verification found on either one. Both posted by anon users. I've not even been able to determine where in the world they are supposed to live: U.S., Australia, or where? At the very least, people should write articles about people first, and only then consider including their birth or death dates here. Lupo 07:45, 29 Mar 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Ian Pilgrim

Who is Ian Pilgrim? No results on google or on imdb. Supposedly a screenwriter, but born in 1984? I removed it from the 'births' section.

[edit] Who is the main editor for June 20?

I'd like to ask them a question regarding one of them hidden comments within the page itself. BronzeWarrior 10:43, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

We're all editors. However, since you mention in-line comments, I've been slowly working my way through the date articles and standardizing the comments on this:

Do not add people without Wikipedia articles to this list Do not trust “this year in history” websites for accurate date information Do not link multiple occurrences of the same year, just link the first occurrence. Rklawton 18:20, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
