Historically, March 1st was considered to be the beginning of the year - Is this true? Prior to the 1750s, or whenever it was that England accepted the Gregorian calendar, March 21st was the first day of the year. -- Zoe

[edit] Unitas Fratrum founding date

March 1st 1457 is the founding date of the Untitas Fratrum, (English = Unity of the Brethren), currently also known as the Moravian Church, the second oldest protestant church in the world.

[edit] What was the One Millionth Article on Wikipedia?

According to press accounts, it was about the Jordanhill railway station in Scotland, and it was started by Wikipedia contributor Ewan Macdonald.[1] Should this be in the content of the notice about the millionth article? r3 05:18, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Death Penalty

An editor listed March 1, 1847, as the date the first democracy (Michigan) abolished the death penalty. While this may be interesting for the U.S., I don't think it has international implications since Michigan isn't a country. If states count, then so should provinces, cantons, etc., and I doubt those were considered when evaluating this "first." Speaking of countries, was Venezuala a democracy when it abolished the death penalty a few years later? Lastly, Michigan didn't abolish the death penalty for all crimes. It abolished the death penalty for all crimes except one. Therefore, Michigan shouldn't be considered death penalty-free until the second half of the twentieth century.

[edit] Babby Sands Hunger strike

I agree that bobby sands' hunger strike was a very notable event known throughout the United Kingdom. Is this the most notable date? Or would it be of more note to mark his death?-Joulupukki 19:26, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

that could be a point. when he died it really turned the case global. thanks for your willingness to discuss it and not just go around chopping things. i'm australian, so it's not just exclusively known to the UK. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.16.103.211 (talk) 23:22, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Incorrect Gregorian Numbering

This is continued from the Talk:December 31 page. The numbering is incorrect here: March 1 is the 60th day of the Gregorian calendar in non-leap years, and the 61st in leap years. Check February 28th to verify, or do your own math. Every single day from this point on is one off. --ShadowWatch (talk) 06:32, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Youth Soccer event

The Youth major league soccer event that has been added and re-added as an event on the page is not supported by a linked article and it is not globally notable. This event should not be added to this page. -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 04:10, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
