I've removed both these suggestions from the born/died this day section as neither seem to be at main-page standard on referencing. There are whole paragraphs in both articles which lack citations. MurielMary ( talk) 10:31, 29 March 2017 (UTC)

The entry for Hansik erroneously suggests that it is exclusive to the Republic of Korea - it is in fact celebrated accross the Vietnam, China, and the two Koreas. BrxBrx( talk)(please reply with {{SUBST:re|BrxBrx}}) 01:38, 5 April 2019 (UTC)

"The Libyan secret service bombed a discotheque in West Berlin, resulting in three deaths and 229 others injured."
This is alleged and has never been proven, and this is even alluded to in the article on the topic itself:
"Libya was accused by the US government of sponsoring the bombing, and US President Ronald Reagan ordered retaliatory strikes on Tripoli and Benghazi in Libya ten days later. The operation was widely seen as an attempt to kill Colonel Muammar Gaddafi.[4] However, in the bombing's aftermath, this claim was met with widespread skepticism. In 1987, Manfred Ganschow, the head of the West German team investigating the bombing, said that there was no evidence pointing the finger at Libya, a belief which was corroborated by numerous intelligence agencies in Europe at the time, according to a BBC report.[5]: 81 In 2001, following a four-year German trial called murky,[2] and marred by what the court called a "limited willingness" by the American and German governments to share evidence,[2][1] a court found that the bombing had been "planned by the Libyan Intelligence Service and the Libyan embassy",[1] but absolved Gaddafi of responsibility.[2][1][6]"
This seems *waaay* to nuanced to be included on the Main Page as it currently stands. PeaceThruPramana26 ( talk) 09:01, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
"A West Berlin discotheque is bombed in a terrorist attack, resulting in three deaths and 229 others injured; The United States alleges the Libyan Government is behind the incident"
Short of any objections, I think the language on this one is far more neutral and reflects both the content of the article and the reality of the situation far more at hand; Perhaps the wording 'terrorist attack' might be controversial, but I cannot see how anyone would dispute that this bombing was anything but.
