Bryant Gumbel reference

Rklawton, I saw that you removed the reference to Bryant Gumbel's signing off the today show, apparently because it is entertainment-related. I am personally of the oppinion that his leaving the show is notable enough, as we have things like Charles Shultz's last Peanuts strip (obviously more notable, but still entertainment.) Other, less important events and topics have been covered, so I see no reason why this should not. -Mys e kurity 08:26, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You name a more significant event (Shultz), but that doesn't prove your point. Name some less significant events that are listed in Date articles, and let's see if you have a case. Rklawton 15:06, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, remove it if you want, I really don't care. Just as long as this doesn't turn into "Gumbel to Gumbel", I'm ok. -Mys e kurity 19:30, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You are more than OK. You are a scholar and a gentle-person. Rklawton 19:37, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not a world event?

What exactly constitutes a "world event" worthy of being mentioned in the events section? Apparently, the legal declaration of the Turdus grayi, better known as the clay-colored robin or yiguirro, is not considered a world event even though it directly affected Costa Rican history. Costa Rica recognizes this bird as a national symbol, yet its declaration seems to be less important than the release of the last Peanuts comic strip. Since I do have a valid reference for this date, I'm adding it again. If somebody disagrees, please state here your reason. Bernalj90 00:06, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

January 3, 1956 ... wrong date for...

Sirs, Ma'am, I was looking at the date of January 3, for what was listed there on the specific date of January 3, 1956, and found Mel Gibson was born on that date. It also lists "January 3, 1956 - Willy T. Ribbs, American race car driver" as being born on that date, however when you click on the link to his biography, it clearly says he was born on January 3, 1955. I just wanted to bring this to your attention, as I have not a clue as to how to fix it. Even getting to be able to add this note, as I am a novice to this, took a lot of effort in figureing out how. Thank you. Mark P. Phillips. MarkNancyP@comcast.net
