[edit] Suspicion

• 1988 - Sandra Apostol, Dictator

Reference for that? ABostrom 23:14, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

• 2003 - US Invades Iraq.

That was March 19, no? I'm not deleting (maybe there's some technicality I'm not aware of), but if someone else wants to, they should.

[edit] New Additions

• 1999 - Melissa virus was released to the Internet, panic ensues. This is quite significant since its panic signaled the awakening of Internet security.

[edit] Blessed Hugo?

I'm confused; February 10 is also listed on Wikipedia as being the liturgical feast of Blessed Hugo. Does Blessed Hugo have two feasts? Geoffrey.landis 15:25, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wajiha Khuwaja?

Who the heck is this? Listed under born in 1990, unlinked, and turning up no useful results on a google search. I very much doubt this is an important person. 137.186.222.166 04:47, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hitler's votes

1936 - In Germany, dictator Hitler receives 99% of the votes in a referendum to ratify Germany's illegal reoccupation of the Rhineland, receiving 5 little itty bitty votes out of 45.5 million unregistered voters. In 1933 all political parties and political liberty had been abolished. ~Huh?~ propose to re-write or erase entirely. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 192.251.125.85 (talk) 23:09, 29 March 2007 (UTC).
