Although it may be 'best practice' or somesuch that Ghandi shouldn't be listed on two selected anniversaries articles, this date is a bit America-heavy... What about the rest of the world? -- Graham :) | Talk 02:24, 5 May 2004 (UTC)

Find some qualifying entries at May 5 that are not already used on other selected anniversaries and are about as major of events as the ones listed on this page. Better yet, do some research and update some articles to make them qualify. --mav 06:33, 5 May 2004 (UTC)

I find it sad to note that every single event in the selected anniversiaries today is related to USA. I'll see if I can't find something else to put in there. ✏ Sverdrup 09:23, 5 May 2004 (UTC)


What about tthe death of Napoleon on 5 May 1821?

Only events go here. --mav 21:25, 5 May 2004 (UTC)
