June 4: Independence Day in Tonga (1970)
|
1989 - A succession of peaceful anti-communist revolutions occurs in Eastern Europe - can we be more specific? -- Zoe
1999 - death of Josephine Konvicka. I don't know if the vistims of serial killers should be placed here. Not that I think it is useless, but the number of victims in the past 20 years could fill 20 or more lines a day. -- Schopenhauer
Moved birth from article:
- 1978 - Dr. Mark J. Cuva, scientist

Could not be confirmed at this date outside of 'this day in history'-type pages (bad source - see above) or Wikipedia mirrors/forks. --mav 06:38, 4 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Moved to June 2:
- 1763 - Pontiac's Rebellion: At what is now Mackinaw City, Michigan, Chippewas capture Fort Michilimackinac by diverting the garrison's attention with a game of lacrosse, then chasing a ball into the fort.
Nope - was on June 2. --mav 06:38, 4 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Moved to June 18:

Nope - was on the 14th. --mav 06:38, 4 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- hi mav - i appreciate that you are weeding out and correcting things here, it's necessary work (i, too corrected some of these lately). however one should not assume that a date is wrong just because one doesn't get a google hit for it. a lot of knowledge is still offline...
- but even with google you could have looked harder: it took about 20 seconds to get lots of hits which confirm the Léon Blum date, among them this site of the french government. (actually his title was fr:Président du Conseil, not prime minister, but this means essentially the same: head of government.) regards, High on a tree 14:46, 4 Jun 2004 (UTC)

- OK - thanks for finding that one. I was looking for "Léon Blum" June 1936 and could only confirm the month from that outside of 'this day in history'-type pages. BTW, I list items I remove just in case somebody else has a good reference that proves the item is correct after all (lots of disinformation on the Internet, so I look at a whole bunch of different websites to see if there is a consensus - if not, then I list it here). --mav 17:23, 4 Jun 2004 (UTC)
[edit] John Drew Barrymore born twice?
This page lists John Drew Barrymore as being born both on June 4th, 1929 and on June 4th, 1932. Both names link to the Wikipedia page claiming that he was born in 1929. Perhaps the 1932 listing should be removed?
Just a thought.

Here, vanity, not vandalism although pop-up showed a lot of text deleted. -- Borameer ™ 18:01, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
