Why is Mitchell Miller referred to as "Sexy Man"??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.100.171.250 (talk) 22:15, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

removed:

• 1833 - Oberlin College, first coeducational college in the United States, opens.

It did happen in 1833 but the only refs I could find to any particular date was on 'this day in history'-type webpages (very bad source). --mav 09:15, 3 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Removed:

• 1896 - Hermann Hollerith creates the Tabulating Machine Company.

Could not be confirmed. Wikipedia seems to be the only real source for this date (the year seems to be right, however). --mav 09:15, 3 Dec 2003 (UTC)

I further extended the description of the Battle of Hohenlinden. Xelnanga 00:45, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
