Why is Mitchell Miller referred to as "Sexy Man"??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.100.171.250 ( talk) 22:15, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
It did happen in 1833 but the only refs I could find to any particular date was on 'this day in history'-type webpages (very bad source). -- mav 09:15, 3 Dec 2003 (UTC)
Could not be confirmed. Wikipedia seems to be the only real source for this date (the year seems to be right, however). -- mav 09:15, 3 Dec 2003 (UTC)
I further extended the description of the Battle of Hohenlinden. Xelnanga 00:45, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
When looking at the First Balkan War entry for the date December 3, it states an armistice with the Ottoman Empire was signed, ending that war in 1912. The war was concluded in May 1913 and not only that, it was not a two month long war (as noted in the time-line), it was more like 8 months.. It seems the two month factor may have been mixed up with the Second Balkan War, which in itself was more like a month long war . —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tommy6860 ( talk • contribs) 02:21, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
On December 3 in 1904, it states that C.D. Perrine discovered the Jovian moon Himalia. But when looking at the article of Himalia, it states Perrine discovered it on December 16 of the same year. Small error, but needs to be confirmed to which date is correct.

Granted that Greece was still on the Julian calendar in 1912, is it good policy to list selected anniversaries in the 20th century under their Old Style dates? A mixture of Old Style and New Style dates covering a particular conflict (First Balkan War) interferes with a basic sense of Before and After. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.193.101.113 ( talk) 15:53, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
I changed Abimael Guzmán's description from "Peruvian activist" to "Peruvian philosopher and revolutionary, leader of the Shining Path". I based this on Guzmán's biographical article. For convenience, I'm inserting the lead section of that article here:
Redsky89 changed the description to "Peruvian philosopher and academic" without leaving an edit comment. I changed it to "Peruvian philosopher and revolutionary", leaving a comment which said (in part), "...when someone's bio article defines them as a 'revolutionary', it's silly not to use the word here." Redsky89 changed it back, again without leaving an edit comment.
I started to change it back again, realized I was involved in edit warring, and decided to take the matter here. I believe the current entry to be grossly misleading, but I'm not going to edit it again. I'll leave it to others to decide what to do. -- Alexbook ( talk) 17:58, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

"Methyl isocyanate and other toxic chemicals were accidentally released from..." is misleading. The release occured either due to insufficient safety precautions (which would be "criminal negligence"), or, as UCC claims, due to a "disgruntled worker". See Causes of the Bhopal Disaster.
