Layout

[edit]

The year in topic layout on this page is one of three versions. I seek opinions before making them all the same; see comment on my talk page BozMo(talk)

Rory vandalism

[edit]
  1. January 2 - Australian-Rory Johnson War: The Australian Army surrenders at Port Arthur, China; an event which shocked the world.
  2. January 22 - Massacre of Australian demonstrators at the Winter Palace in Saint Petersburg, one of the triggers of the massacare was Rory Farting.
  3. January 26 - The Rory Diamond is found near Pretoria, South Africa at the Premier Mine.

Should that be the case? I don't remember ever hearing about Rory Johnson fighting against Australia, but admitantly, my history of this area is not very good. I would change all these Australia and Rory references, but I don't know what they are supposed to be.

I have reverted the changes. Thanks for drawing attention --BozMo|talk 13:43, 26 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Norwegian/Swedish dissolution

[edit]

How can you have the referendum on whether to dissolve the partnership after the declaration it's been dissolved?

The referendum was wether the Norwegian people supported the dissolvement. [sp?]

Dupe diamonds

[edit]

January 26 - The Cullinan Diamond is found near Pretoria, South Africa at the Premier Mine.

June 25 - Cullinan Diamond, the largest diamond known, is discovered by Frederick Wells

I would suggest there is a mistake here. How ever wikipedia seems to be the only place (in a quick google search) that suggests an accurate date...every other site just says it was found in 1905. - eps 17/03/06 0224 UTC

February Texas temps

[edit]

This makes no sense, comparing averages with (apparently) some daily records: "In Austin, Texas and San Antonio, TX, it is the coldest February on record, with average monthly temperature of 42.3°F and 43.9°F degrees (the previous record was -1°F and 4°F on February 12, 1899)." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.147.223.179 (talk) 15:56, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey everybody, just checking to see if Markas Luckis was in the list of births. He was born the 17th of January in Lithuania. He was a chess player who won a city championship. I've heard about him before and I was wondering why he wasn't in this list. So if someone who has editing capabilities for this page could add his birth.

Just checking,

Please let me add Clara Bow to the list of people born in 1905.71.72.151.150 (talk) 04:29, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Founding of college fraternities

[edit]

"May 17 – Kappa Delta Rho is founded in Room 14 of Old Painter Hall, at Middlebury College in Middlebury, Vermont." found in https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=1905&oldid=891014076 This looks to me like an aficionado of college fraternities pumping their pet subject. I suggest deletion of the entry. Please, anyone explain to me why this is a significant event given that the article text does not explain the significance. Nor is it self-evident.
