Ernest Hemingway (July 21, 1899 – July 2, 1961) was an American novelist, short-story writer and journalist. Known for an economical, understated style that significantly influenced later 20th-century writers, he is often romanticized for his adventurous lifestyle, and outspoken and blunt public image. Most of Hemingway's works were published between the mid-1920s and mid-1950s; these included seven novels, six short-story collections and two non-fiction works. His debut novel The Sun Also Rises was published in 1926. His wartime experiences as an ambulance driver on the Italian Front in World War I formed the basis for his 1929 novel A Farewell to Arms, and he drew on his experience as a journalist in the Spanish Civil War for his 1940 novel For Whom the Bell Tolls. Hemingway was with Allied troops as a journalist at the Normandy landings and the liberation of Paris. He was awarded the 1954 Nobel Prize in Literature. ( Full article...)

How on earth did the "Centennial of the birth of Canadian media theorist Marshall McLuhan" make it onto the first line of the "On this day" on the english wikipedia main page?!?! Since when are people's birthdays put there at all? But of all the people in history, why such an obscure figure as Marshall McLuhan. Just because some guy ( Tvoz) likes him? How did the editors let this one go through?!?! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.98.5.238 ( talk) 22:11, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
