This list contains the birthday of Otto Ludwig. However, his page notes his birthday as being February 11. Would someone with more Otto Ludwig resources mind figuring out the correct birthday and updating things? Cww 03:52, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
I saw in the history of the 12 February article that some user has deleted a red link. I think thats irreasonable. red links encourage people to make new articles. so give red links a chance. thank you. Lenin1870to1924 ( talk) 14:16, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
1- it is common to mention a filmmaker films in "today in history" websites. I checked out the case after i read your message here and I understood that it is not common in wikipedia. why musics bands but not films ? it is irreasonable. but I accept it as an un-written Wikipedia guideline and act according to it. I suggest you (people in Wikiproject Days of the year) to write the policy about Births and Deaths secondary links clearly. 2- I quickly turned the redlink I made into a good link. I made an article for it. I would act according to this guideline in the future but i still assume redlinks harmless. redlinks would prevent some events and people in Calendar pages to be forgotten at all. being in red is better than not being at all.

As a newbie, there's alot I don't know. I try hard to figure things out on my own, but sometimes (like this occasion) I get stuck. The last Peanuts comic strip ran in the papers on Feb 13, 2000. Someone had added it to this page's events. I edited it to reflect fact. Charles M. Schultz wrote the last comic strip on Feb. 12, 2000. Why is the original Peanuts comic strip having run in the papers the day after Charles M. Schultz died notable but Charles M. Schultz having wrote his final strip before dying later that day not notable? It's not my intention to make others have to follow behind me to remove or re-edit any edits I make. I accept there will be occassions, but I do want to TRY to minimalize my "bad" edits. For making you have to or feel as if you had do it, I do apologize. I sincerely am trying to grasp this. Input would be most helpfull.
This is not like: "Marilyn Monroe filed her nails for the last time before overdosing." Atleast, I don't feel it is. Marilyn Monroe fans may differ. Peanuts was (and still is) a significant piece of Americana, as is Charles M. Schultz. Kentholke ( talk) 13:18, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
The way I see it, the event summed up is Schultz dies, Peanuts ends. I agree 100% with not having the same event listed on back to back pages. I've had my head in these DOY pages since late October and have noticed approximately 20 events listed again and again (i.e., Guy Fawkes arrested, Guy Fawkes trial begins, Guy Fawkes is executed). Different events, yes. Same story, yes. I also think it is too much. I did not feel comfortable removing the Feb 12 reference to Schultz, certainly part of my newbie status. When in Rome, do as the Romans. I'm in that phase right now of trying to learn what it is that Romans do.
Every Christmas since the late sixties, A Charlie Brown Christmas has aired across the U.S. and according to my closest friend who grew up in the U.K., still resides thereand is as old as I, it has been aired across the U.K. as well. It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown is aired every Halloween, Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown airs every Valentine's Day, A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving airs in the days leading up to Thanksgiving. Dozens of other Charlie Brown specials air nationwide in the U.S. and in the U.K. at various points throughout the year during primetime.
According to the WIKI article, after the Valentine special was originally aired, children all over America sent Valentines to Charlie Brown out of sympathy. To me, and it seems to some of the people who read 2600 papers around the world in 75 different countries, Peanuts is not trivial. Proof is within the TV network conglomerates in the U.S. and U.K. airing these specials during primetime—every year. That's huge bucks I strongly suspect. Would the conglomerates air something trivial to increase their profit?
I am struggling to understand (and for this I have to apologize) how something that is revered in 75 countries is less notable than this page's events of:
How are these three events considered to be globally significant? They are not. The first is geared toward the Netherlands and certain people who would be interested in the history of insurance companies. The second is geared toward the pro-Indian movement and U.S. historians. The third? U.S. historians, maybe, but I doubt that. The civil rights movement? I doubt that as well. Architectural historians? I find that hard to swallow also. It's simply a "first." If we stop to list the "first" house that was built in every town around the world (which I hope we can agree that a house is generally more significant than a stone), how would this page look?
According to the WP:DOY page, When compiling lists of Events for inclusion in Wikipedia:WikiProject Days of the year articles, it is necessary to keep in mind that what's listed should be notable both around the globe and throughout time. The items selected should be relevant to all Wikipedians, regardless of nationality, interests, and beliefs. The page does go on further to explain Births and Deaths.
If one was to adhere strictly to this guideline, these pages would be quite bare I do believe. I think common sense should continue to be applied as it has been in permitting substantially notable events that don't fall within that guideline(s) to be listed. Who's common sense, you ask? A general consensus. How do we go about determining what the general consensus is in this case? You tell me. I'm new here. My vote would be to have the reference to Schultz and Peanuts added to one day due to the 50 year/2600 paper/75 countries details, and I would vote for it to be on the Feb 13 page exactly as it is now.
I was only trying to understand why "Schultz dies, Peanuts ends" was notable written one way and not the other. Your answer: you think it's trivial and you didn't see the other reference on Feb 13. I got the answer I was seeking, now I'm a happy camper. Thanks! Kentholke ( talk) 17:47, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

I don't think these two days fit in the criteria noted at Wikipedia:Days of the year/Holidays and observances. Neither is notable or official - "Awareness observances are often minor creations of non-profit or private groups. These observances should not be placed in the Holidays and observances section unless the day is proven notable or has been passed into law, making it an official national day." and "In general, new holidays and observances should not be placed in the Holidays and observances section; except if it is signed officially by a state or a country as a state or national holiday. New holidays that do not belong to this category can only be placed in the Holidays and observances section after the days are proven notable, with significant number of followers, and are not controversial." -- 2607:FEA8:D5E0:A24:ED48:C7E0:5F2A:EF7F ( talk) 00:48, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
