I don't find anything significant on Google, can someone verify the above as needing an entry? -- sannse 17:52 23 May 2003 (UTC)
American sports scores seem to be creeping into Wikipedia (there is a baseball one today), and trivia about US TV shows (today, The Love Boat). People from 190 nations use the Internet, and if Wikipedia opens itself to such trite material from the whole world, the WWW won't be big enough to contain it all. And I doubt that such material is consequential enough for any encyclopedia worth the name. -PW
The Red Hot Chilli Peppers' CD release is hardly a historical event, plus, it isn't even the correct date, so I am removing it.
Article says John Gotti Agnello was born on May 5, while the John Gotti Agnello page says May 8. Which is correct?
I'm pretty sure that National No Pants day falls on the first Friday of May (the 4th in 2007)--or so says the article pertaining to this certain holiday. Which is more credible? If it helps, Facebook says that NPD is on a Friday too.

[edit] Numerous Errors
There are numerous errors on this page.
1) This is not the date of Charles I's surrender; in fact, I cannot seem to find the date of his surrender anywhere in my books. It may be the date of the surrender of the town Newark-on-Trent, but even this is unclear.
2) There is no corroborating date anywhere on the Panic of 93 page that links it with this date.
3) The Scopes entry indicates he was served with an arrest warrant on this date, but he was in fact arrested on May 25th, not the 5th, as confirmed by a book source.
4) On Mahatma Gandhi's page it only indicates he was released before May 6th; again, I had to corroborate that he was in fact released on the 5th from a book.
5) Stroessner's page indicates that the junta he led to power did so on May 4th, not 5th, although another book source in my library states that the 5th is the correct date.
Forgive my frustration, but I'm new here and not yet comfortable with the idea of editing. The last thing I want to do is to step on anyone's toes.
I rely on these pages for much of my blog content, and as such I'm accustomed to finding one or two errors per day here, but this day was especially bad.
I was hoping to wait until the New Year to wade into the whole editing process, since my blog is currently using up 90% of my effort. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Michael sean morris (talk • contribs) 04:14, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
- All of the above have been removed with the exception of #3 which is supported in the linked article Butler Act. -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 21:17, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
