Total darkness

This nonreliable source lists Pulchy's inaugeration day (Aug 25, 450) as a day without light and not an eclipse. Is that accurate and backed by reliable sources? Should be mentioned. — LlywelynII 22:18, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

First anointed

Similarly, this unreliable source records that Marcian was the first example of a Roman emperor being ceremonially entered into his office by the church. Any reliable sources confirm so we can add that to this article? — LlywelynII 22:22, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

1630 English Civil War

On the 1630 entry for England, the entry ends with the Third English Civial War. It should be the Third English Civil War. I don't understand how that was missed by the spell checker which flagged it for me in this entry. ~2026-43759-25 (talk) 18:09, 8 August 2026 (UTC)
