Removed:

• 1789 - Bourbon whiskey first distilled, in Bourbon County, Kentucky.

It did happen, but I could not confirm the exact date outside of 'this day in history'-type websites (very bad source). --mav 01:35, 8 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Removed:

• 1963 - Submarine eruption of Surtsey begins.

Trivial. The day it emerged is significant and is already linked at November 14. --mav

[edit] Removed Historically Uneventful election (Corzine Becomes New Jersey Gov)

Sen. Jon Corzine winning the New Jerseys governors race was no more eventful or meaningful then any other governors race.Ucscottb4u 14:58, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Related to that, any normal election result from any country doesn't count as notable per project guidelines. Rklawton 06:22, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Miracle of the sun-1950

When I selected the hyperlink called "the miracle of the sun" about something Pope Pius witnessed in 1950, I was taken to a page about an event happening on the 13th October 1917. Surely these are not the same events, so I was wondering if anything could be done about this as it is misleading and confusing.

[edit] When was this? Can't find it in Wikipedia

1977 - 3,100 people mysteriously register to vote in Perry County, Ohio, unearthed by the U.S. House Judiciary Committee report investigating 2004 election inconsistencies in Ohio. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pakopako (talk • contribs) 16:27, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
