August 11: Independence Day in Chad ( 1960)
|
There is no mention of this. There really should be. It ended on this day and is the death date of Leonidas. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.63.109.40 ( talk) 04:06, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
Comment on the above, 2020-08-11: According to /info/en/?search=Leonidas_I, Leonidas died on 19 September; so is that page wrong or is this assertion wrong? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:6000:1305:4107:1C8E:EEDC:59AE:7DCE ( talk) 07:06, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
This article lists the above event as being on 11 August 70. Both the corresponding article for 4 August and the Second Temple article list it as being on 4 August 70. Which is it? Crimperman ( talk) 13:59, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
The George Allen entry does not seem to rise to the level of global notability. I suggest that no one will care about this incident in 10 years. The speculation of a newspaper seems particularly misplaced. -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 22:52, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
If you insist that the macaca incident is not notable, I suggest you try to remove it from these six articles and see how the editors react. -- M @ r ē ino 17:17, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
Should the decree of the abolition of serfdom in France be included here? 76.230.72.70 ( talk) 20:37, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
How is the precise date, let alone the year, 2492 BC used, as a prospective calendar date (even if it is mythological), when the Armenians did not exist as a people, grouping or idea? It is particularly troubling because no society or culture had a known calendar, or the technological skills to assemble one at this point, to distinguish or record what we now know to be a solar year. At this juncture, only lunar calendars existed. Historically, ancient calendar dates ascribe what we now know to be solar or calendar years, by their association with king lists that provide sequences of chronology - but no actual years because they did not know themselves what years, let alone the context of the month of a particular year - and purported events that may have happened in that interval. The "2492 BC – Traditional date of the defeat of Bel by Hayk, progenitor and founder of the Armenian nation." is a contrived date, imagined and invented by its 2 historical archivists (1 from the 5th century AD, the other 200 years ago) before Babylon is thought to have historically existed, but is not a valid date either as a tradition, or certainly as a historically-ascribed date of occurrence. The second part of the problem of use of this specific date developed 200 years ago, is it was first developed for the Julian calendar, when both of its historian sources used the Julian Calendar for dating in Armenia, and does not apply to, nor was it converted to the Gregorian Calendar. It is meaningless to use as a referred-to date, and should only be included here as a date once assigned by conjectured historicism from an earlier epic, if at all. But it would have no direct equivalents into the modern era. It is a myth about a myth... Stevenmitchell ( talk) 22:35, 11 August 2019 (UTC)
