Removed

1864 - Archduke Maximilian becomes Emperor of Mexico.

Well it did happen in 1864, but I could not confirm the Nov 10 date outside of 'this day in history'-type webpages (very bad source). --mav 01:41, 10 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Removed:

1945 - Enver Hoxha becomes leader of Albania.

Could not be confirmed at this date. --mav 01:41, 10 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Moved to November 13:

1982 - The Wall, the first part of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, is dedicated in Washington, DC.

Nope. It happened on November 13. --mav 01:41, 10 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Removed:

1940 - Walt Disney begins serving as an informer for the Los Angeles office of the FBI; his job is to report back information on Hollywood subversives.

This is a libel apparently first published by Marc Eliot. See [1] —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jyavner (talk • contribs) 02:20, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Inconsistent birth year

1979 - Eve, rapper

Born in 1979 in the list, but 1978 in the her biography. Can anyone check? Little Y 04:12, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)

What about Veterans Day?

Veteran's Day should be here.--64.121.1.55 04:03, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Except that Veteran's Day (Armistice Day, Remembrance Day, etc) falls on the 11th, not the 10th. --CalendarWatcher 04:33, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nope, it falls on the closet weekday. Well good job, now everyone thinks its tomorrow.--64.121.1.55 22:17, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If it falls on the nearest weekday (i.e. is a moveable event), it perhaps doesn't belong on a page about a specific month/day-combo at all? Rhialto 02:10, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Whether the US gives a weekday Bank Holiday for people when it falls on a weekend is immaterial:　it's still celebrated on the 11th. --CalendarWatcher 13:14, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Latvian festivals

Yet another Latvian festival - I removed it. Why do these keep appearing, supported by links to the Latvian mythology page when the latter has been disputed (and not corrected) for years? If it is a neopagan or some other form of modern festival, it should clearly say so. However, it should not be labelled as an "Ancient Latvian festival" without clear evidence. My objection is that, in the past, this has rarely been clear and the assertion "ancient" has been going unchallenged, apparently justified by links to the dubious Latvian mythology page.
