April 28: Workers' Memorial Day ![]()

"2003 - Iraq: 15 unarmed teenagers were killed by American forces in front of a school during a demostration; marking the beginning of the Falluja riots that took place during April 2003."
From the Falluja page...
"On the evening of April 28, 2003, a crowd of 200 people defied a curfew imposed by the Americans and gathered outside a occupied local secondary school to protest the presence of Coalition forces in the city and demand its reopening. Following the discharge of some demonstrators' firearms into the air, soldiers stationed at the roof of the building opened fire upon the crowd resulting in the deaths of 13 civilians."
The numbers are different. Anyone want to clarify? Also, might consider adding that there were weapons in the crowd if that actually happened.
Someone added the word "former" in front on Saddam Hussein's title as "president". I removed this. My reason is that this was his title. If we are to use "former" for every case when people no longer have this function then almost every entry will be "former" (e.g. "former arch-duke of lombardy, "former baseball pitcher", "former signer"... I welcome your thoughts on this. Thanks, Hu Gadarn 00:22, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
Good day. I removed the following text " 1990 - In Melbourne, Australia, the first rehearsal of the Melbourne Gay and Lesbian Chorus is held - the first organisation of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere." Reason = there is no indication that this is a significant event. True, the entry mentions first time in the southern hemisphere but ... so what? If this event is note-worthy, then please create an article of the event and link here. If it is not then please do neither. Thanks, Hu Gadarn 17:48, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
Jeffrey Dahmer was murdered in prison on April 28, 1994. I figure you can add this to the "deaths" section for this date. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.104.244.198 ( talk) 20:34, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

The Sporting News has an article [1] listing four earlier games involving organized teams, the first of which (July 4, 1896) involved Honus Wagner. Robert A.West ( Talk) 23:07, 28 April 2015 (UTC)
In defence of the anonymous editing taking place today, I think that there is possible justification to add Ed Balls Day; it is a notable phenomenon which has found its way all the way into Hansard… after Mr. Balls' defeat in the election last year. Sceptre ( talk)
