Should I mention that I dispute the inclusion of a State Recall Election being on here? Sherurcij ( Speaker for the Dead) 03:13, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
Who is Erin born in 1991, and why does she(he?) merit inclusion on a list like this?
The Hebrew Calendar begins on Rosh Hashana (as indicated in the epoch article) and thus the anniversary of the epoch on the Gregorian Calendar changes every year. This year's anniversary was 3.5 weeks ago, on Thursday, September 13. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.104.174.245 ( talk) 16:05, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
Suggestion, I guess for next year: Oct. 7, patent granted for "the barcode". See [1]. I think it meets any global significance criteria. Rhodesisland ( talk) 01:30, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
This discussion was moved from WP:ERRORS; nothing was settled before it went off the Main Page. Maybe continue discussion so next year it's better? -- Floquenbeam ( talk) 00:16, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
"The Ottoman Empire was decisively defeated by the Christian West for the first time" - Not true. The Ottomans suffered many defeats against the Hungarians under John Huyandi, and in particular the Siege of Belgrade in the late 15th century was surely a "decisive defeat" for the Ottomans.

The Ottoman Empire was decisively defeated by the Holy League. Gabr- el 18:21, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
According to today's main page (October 7), the Ottoman Empire was decisively defeated at Lepanto 438 years ago, but actually that's wrong: it's now strongly believed, thanks to the studies of many historians, especially Fernand Braudel, that this battle was absolutely irrelevant; as a proof of this, in 1572 the Turkish navy defeated Venice ships. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.12.171.126 ( talk) 21:10, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
(end text from WP:ERRORS)
The description of the battle of Lepanto was changed from the very factual statement about it being the last major galley battle in history (something which is entire uncontroversial and highly significant) to a text about a comparison with the entirely unrelated battle of Actium, a statement which not merely fraught with complications and over-simplifications (and is also unreferenced).
Could we please change it back to themore concrete and uncomplicated suggestion I made on 19 September?
