Since the The Merry Wives of Windsor article doesn't mention the date it was first performed, why is it listed here? RickK | Talk 05:51, 14 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Whooops ! I missed that. Thanks. It's now gone. -- PFHLai 10:25, 2005 Apr 23 (UTC)

[edit] Shakesepere

This page contains nonesense about the Conch Republic and not the birth/death of Will Shakespere? I know births/deaths are only to be included if no other event sare to be found but a doing both on the same date of year is quite notable and its certainly more mentionable than that Conch rubbish?

Thank you for posting here. (I was about to copy-&-paste the few objections from Talk:MainPage.) This should remind whichever admin updating the template in 2007 to look for something good. We have about 350 days to improve the stubs in Polish Constitution of 1935, Rhythm Night Club fire or the Treaty of Oliwa, and Baedeker Blitz. -- PFHLai 11:38, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
Or Algiers putsch? We have less than 2 weeks left to bump off the Conch Republic. --PFHLai 19:15, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
Actually, this facetious declaration of independence has already been replaced by a serious declaration of declaration in an edit about a week ago. --PFHLai 13:24, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Yom HaZikaron date

Once again, as we did last week with Yom HaShoah, we come to the dispute over whether the date is observed on Saturday night/Sunday or Sunday night/Monday. Israel seems to be doing the latter but most calendars again report it on its "traditional" date, 4 Iyar, Sat PM/Sunday. Yom Haatzmaut immediately follows. Obviously Israel is the authority on when we observe its Memorial Day and its Independence Day, but is this a new concept of moving "secular" legal holidays if they fall adjacent to the Sabbath? and, if not, why were the calendars unaware? --Valley2city₪‽ 19:24, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Please fix the Gregorian date in the Yom Hazikaron article as necessary. SA/OTD will follow. Thanks. --PFHLai 13:22, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Max Planck's 150th birthday

Max Planck

Can we have Dr. Planck's picture (right) today instead of William Rowan Hamilton's, please? --199.71.174.100 (talk) 05:30, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
