Cyclone Taylor (June 23, 1884 – June 9, 1979) was a Canadian professional ice hockey player and civil servant. Born and raised in Southern Ontario, Taylor moved to Houghton, Michigan, and played in the International Hockey League for two years. He then joined the Ottawa Senators, winning the Stanley Cup with the team in his second year. While in Ottawa he began working as an immigration clerk. Two years later he signed with the Renfrew Creamery Kings, becoming the highest-paid athlete in the world on a per-game basis. He then played for the Vancouver Millionaires until 1922, where he won five scoring championships and his second Stanley Cup victory with the team. In 1914 Taylor was the first Canadian official to board the Komagata Maru, a major incident relating to Canadian immigration. In 1946 he was named a member of the Order of the British Empire for his services as an immigration officer and inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1947. ( Full article...)

Please add Grand Duke's Official Birthday in Luxembourg. Thanks. -- 74.14.23.198 04:46, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
This particular Victory Day of Estonia's is by far outdone by Jaaniõhtu (Midsummer's Eve); some of us Estonians had no immediate idea where that victory took place and Jaaniõhtu is the celebration, please consider changing accordingly. (Come to think of it, Jaaniõhtu is a near exact equivalent of Jāņi in Latvia and Saint Jonas' Festival in Lithuania, both on the main page.) -- Kaf 07:23, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

Per WP:OTDRULES, I've swapped in an entry on Bhaktivinoda Thakur's centennial death anniversary for the SAT entry, and added his photograph as well. His article has just been significantly upgraded and improved using academic sources, original photos and newly released media. Regards, Cinosaur ( talk) 06:14, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
