iCal day is a holiday celebrated by the Apple fan community. I think we should add it. iCal --Jbklego 01:12, 31 October 2006 (UTC) Seconded. The icon for the iCal application is set by default to July 17.

I agree; I've celebrated it since 2003. --Apple1976 (talk) 04:48, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Does anyone know of a reference for this entry? "1831 - Mormonism founder Joseph Smith, Jr. receives a revelation in Jackson County, Missouri on plural marriage that introduces polygamy in Mormonism." I did not find a reference in the 'Joseph Smith, Jr. and polygamy' page or the book "The Joseph Smith Revelations Text and Commentary" by H. Michael Marquartdt or the Doctrine and Covenants. The documents state that Joseph Smith did receive a revelation on July 20th 1831 in Jackson County but it had nothing to do with plural marriage. What should we do? I think that we should remove it.
