I removed *1984 - The United States attacks San Juan del Sur in Nicaragua. because this never happened. Someone needs to check the facts please! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Splitbean (talk • contribs) 18:30, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

That fact is cited in the San Juan del Sur article, and that citation pre-dates your complaint. However, the citation points to the official website of the International Court of Justice, which is currently offline, so I edited the San Juan del Sur article to include another reputable source (the Washington Post) to further clarify. Having re-established the legitimacy of this fact, I am adding it back to the article. -- Adam KatzΔtalk 19:12, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

What about "Tyler Cohen, Aircraft Designer"? It seems unlikely that this is possible: he would be 15. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.183.90.248 (talk) 01:12, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

I added Lyndsey Aponik, a fourteen year old Australian actress to the page but it was taken off. Why is this and how can I stop this from hapening? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.87.103.33 (talk) 01:53, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

The entry did not have an article about the subject. See WP:DAYS. -- Mufka ^{(u) (t) (c)} 17:14, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Should Napoleon be referred to as Napoleon I? In 1799 he was still Provisional Consul I believe and it was nearly another six years before he became emperor.Shipman7 (talk) 03:19, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Should Napolean...

Greetings Shipman7! I'm gonna start a new section in regard to your question and you can respond here if you need to. Otherwise, the top section of this talk page is gonna get a bit confusing in my opinion.

To answer your question about Napolean correct title, according to the article Napoleon I of France, you appear to be correct. I'm not a history major by any stretch of the imagination, but the article does distinguish that his title changed. Kentholke (talk) 04:26, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Kathryn Bigelow

She should be added to the Events heading for being the first woman to win the Academy Award for Best Director, for The Hurt Locker in 2010. Dreamingiris (talk) 15:31, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

That's not a significant distinction or milestone IMO. Many of the first woman barriers have been long broken. Swayback Maru ^{Mufka's alternate account (talk)} 16:38, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

The death of Willy Switkes on 7 March 2014 is double-entered with two different dates for his birth and two different nationalities/occupations. Both entries are hyperlinked to the same correct WikiPage.

Birth addition, 1964 - in Edinburgh, Scotland, Alasdair Trevor Downie, named for the two physicians who saved him, was born after being considered dead. His photo was in the Edinburgh newspaper as the smallest infant to survive birth in the Royal Infirmary, born at 2 lb. 2 oz. This may be verified by contacting Dr. Trevor Plunkett in Scotland. (The other physician was Dr. Alasdair Lamont, now deceased.) 99.207.1.242 (talk) 02:37, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. See Preterm birth#Notable cases for examples of the kind of references to provide. I also do not see the import of this particular individual - several of the premature births listed on that article were much smaller when born. Cannolis (talk) 05:38, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

Leonid Feodorov

Blessed Leonid is marked as being venerated by the Russian Greek Catholic Church, but the Wiki article on him states that he is venerated by the Roman Catholic Church. Anyone venerated by any of the Catholic Churches in union with Rome would be in theory venerated by all of them. Should this be changed to say "Roman Catholic Church"? --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 17:15, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

Undefined reference

@Ivogusa:, please fix the ref named "gri" that you added with no definition. Thanks! -- Fyrael (talk) 18:59, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

March 7th’s Birthday

Hello! New in wikipedia! I do not know whether fictional characters are allowed here… should I add it or this [The on this day] is based on actual facts?

@Zappingsbrew000: Hi, fictional people shouldn't be added to days of the year articles as per WP:BIRTHDOY. Suonii180 (talk) 08:23, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

TE37 Day

I saw a lot of talk on social media about Japan legally recognizing March 7 as TE37 Day in honor of the popular Volk Racing TE37 car wheels. I couldn't find any reliable sources for it though, and it might not be significant enough to include on this page, but I thought it was worth mentioning.
