2005[edit]

This sounds strange, but I have a pencil and ruler that has written on it "Choose Leaders, Not Rulers - Make your vote count on October 11, 2005" And an American flag on it. Was there some big symbolic vote on October 11 in the US that I wasn't aware of? Should this be researched and included on this day?

Moved[edit]

Nope. Happened on September 20. --mav

Removed[edit]

Could not be confirmed outside of 'this day in history'-type page (very bad source). --mav

It happened sometime in October, but I couldn't confirm an exact day. --mav

Old Michaelmas[edit]

October 11 is also "Old Michaelmas" day, and my comments on this appear on the article on Michaelmas (its talk-page, actually), which is September 29.ACEOREVIVED 21:26, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

The book which I have referenced there (Morrell, 1977) also states that October 11 is Canadian Thanksgiving Day. I did not see that listed here - does any one know anything about this? ACEOREVIVED 20:30, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

I see that there is already an article on Thanksgiving (Canada) in Wikipedia. However, this lists the second Monday of October as the date, not October 11, as does Morrell (1977). ACEOREVIVED 20:11, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Cory Lidle[edit]

I see that his death is covered in the "Deaths" list, but would it make more sense for his crash to be in the "Events" list as it was a major event in NYC on that day. — Xoder| 19:34, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

This death is not a globally notable, world changing event. The deaths section is sufficient. -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 01:36, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

1987 Gay Rights March[edit]

On October 11, 1987, over 200,000 people marched on Washington, DC in a gay rights rally. It was a defining moment for the movement, and I think it's significant enough to include in this list. "National Coming Out Day" is currently listed under October 11 holidays and observances, and that date was chosen to correspond with the anniversary of the march. 70.171.47.29 (talk) 14:27, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
