Excuse my ignorance, but the following birth
- 1987 - Shakeer Rahman, actor
is unverifiable for me. Found nothing, not even for "Shakir Rahman". Nothing in Google, IMDb, nor at the Bollywood Movie Database. Maybe some Bollywood actor? Or a prank entry? Lupo 08:44, 5 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Charles Kingsley: Most sites say his birthday is June 12.
I'm as big a proponent of open-source as anyone else, but I'm sorry; the release of KDE 1.0 is not of significant historic import. Vertigo 19:02, 12 Jul 2004 (UTC)

No Rain Day
No Rain Day in the Salem, Oregon (USA)
It hasn't rained on July 12 in the Salem, Oregon (USA) since the beginning of weather logging 113 years ago.
The commonly acknowledged no rain day is no longer true. It rained this morning, July 12 2011. OneMug (talk) 15:38, 12 July 2011 (UTC) 1988 - Shawn Smith, God of the world. 1990 - Max Dishler, Supreme Master of the Universe
Is it just me or is this wrong. Shawn Smith seems to be a singer, I can't find anything on Max Dishler.
Birth year of Abigail Williams
She is listed has being born in 1674, but the Salem Witch Trials occured in 1692 (roughly), which would have made her 18 while they occured. According to the Wiki article, Abigail was 11 during the trials. A fictionalized account of the events (Arthur Miller's "The Crucible" puts her at 17.

Disco demolition night
1979 – Disco Demolition Night at Comiskey Park Chicago, Illinois
This event does not appear to meet global notability requirements for inclusion. It has no historical significance. -- Mufka (u) (t) (c)
Two users are objecting to the inclusion of Disco Demolition Night in today's list, despite its long-time (at least three years) inclusion in this list. One of these objections appears to be an act of censorship of hatrid towards a cultural phenomena. I believe that this event remains culturally relevant as a significant event (within both Baseball and US cultural history). I would like to retain this entry, as a record of both a significant and unusual event that occurred on July 12. Randall.H.Wood (talk) 01:34, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
