This sounds strange, but I have a pencil and ruler that has written on it "Choose Leaders, Not Rulers - Make your vote count on October 11, 2005" And an American flag on it. Was there some big symbolic vote on October 11 in the US that I wasn't aware of? Should this be researched and included on this day?

Moved:

• 1643 - English Civil War: Battle of Newbury - Parliamentarian Robert Devereux, the Earl of Essex defeats a Royalist army commanded by Charles I of England at Newbury, Berkshire.

Nope. Happened on September 20. --mav

Removed:

• 1864 - Slavery abolished in Maryland.

Could not be confirmed outside of 'this day in history'-type page (very bad source). --mav

• 1945 - Chinese Civil War begins.

It happened sometime in October, but I couldn't confirm an exact day. --mav

[edit] Old Michaelmas

October 11 is also "Old Michaelmas" day, and my comments on this appear on the article on Michaelmas (its talk-page, actually), which is September 29.ACEOREVIVED 21:26, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

The book which I have referenced there (Morrell, 1977) also states that October 11 is Canadian Thanksgiving Day. I did not see that listed here - does any one know anything about this? ACEOREVIVED 20:30, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

I see that there is already an article on Thanksgiving (Canada) in Wikipedia. However, this lists the second Monday of October as the date, not October 11, as does Morrell (1977). ACEOREVIVED 20:11, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cory Lidle

I see that his death is covered in the "Deaths" list, but would it make more sense for his crash to be in the "Events" list as it was a major event in NYC on that day. — Xoder|✆ 19:34, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

This death is not a globally notable, world changing event. The deaths section is sufficient. -- Mufka ^{(u) (t) (c)} 01:36, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
