Armenian Genocide is a controversial topic. Whether the totality of events that includes the events of April 24 1915 can be called genocide is not obvious. IMHO putting this date as Rememberance day without referring to who recognizes this as rememberance day would be an endorsement and taking sides on a political issue and hence against NPoV policy of Wikipedia. ato 08:26, 7 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Why is Israel's Independence day not listed here? It is observed in Israel the evening of the 23rd and all day on the 24th. -- Valley2city ₪‽ 16:50, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

The Woolworth Building (one of the oldest skyscrapers in the United States) opened on 24 April 1913. Thus, 24 April 2013 marks it's 100th birthday. Worth a mention? Stalwart 111 12:21, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

I've added the presentation of the Franck-Hertz experiment as a possible item for April 24; this year is the centennial. Since I did a good deal of work on that article recently, I'm not the best one to revise last year's anniversaries. I do think that one of the two items related to the Armenian genocide can be removed, and in any event next year will be the centennial of its beginnings. Easchiff ( talk) 04:48, 15 April 2014 (UTC)
