[edit] nonsense (?)

I removed the following, since it lacks a date and doesn't seem to be of any value.

Nonsense indeed. I'd say we get about 50 or so instances of such "vanity" edits to the Wikicalendar project each day. Normally Mr. English would have been a redlink, but since he shares his name with a notable person, the bluelink might have made this nonsense addition less obvious. Thanks for reverting it.

[edit] DEATHS missing

These are missing for the 22nd October. Does the admin have a backup to restore them from? I am new to this, so this may not be the right place for this comment, but spent a few minutes reading the guidance before doing so. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.33.227.210 (talk) 14:54, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
