Miss America

Day uncertain (may be Sept 6, 7 or 8th for crowning but I could not find the day that the pageant started)

1921 - First Miss America pageant held in Atlantic City, New Jersey. -- mav 05:58, 2 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Rwanda

Entry in here twice: 1988 and 1998 --> A United Nations court finds Jean-Paul Akayesu, the former mayor of a small town in Rwanda, guilty of nine counts of genocide, marking the first time that the 1948 law banning genocide is enforced

I assume it has to be 1998, but would like to ask someone else to make the final decision.

thanks, deadstar

Google Chrome

Google chrome was released on 2nd of september, and even google refers to 2nd of september as the birthdate of google chrome: http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/09/back-to-future-two-years-of-google.html is it worth adding to the list? (Kinda new to wiki sorry if I'm doing anything wrong)
