The sentence (and probably the image of Antarctica like the one in the section January 30)

Mikhail Petrovich Lazarev approached the Antarctic

Thanks for the suggestion. The line on Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen has a good chance of bumping off the line on Finnish Civil War from the 'Selected anniversaries' template. Let's check back in about 355 days. We'll see what other good Wikipages will be available to feature on the MainPage then.  :-) -- PFHLai 01:38, 2005 Feb 2 (UTC)
P.S. History of Antarctica may need to be cleaned up a bit to clarify the issue of "who got there first".

I strongly suggest adding the

Canossa and is readmitted into the Catholic Church." It's hard to overestimate the historic significance of this event, since it has defined the position of the Roman Catholic church as a worldly power throughout the centuries. AecisBravado 01:20, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply

January 28, 1938

An issue needs to be brought to your attention.

The listing for 1938 says "1938 - The first ski tow in America begins operation in Vermont." Go to the "ski tow" Wikipedia page to read "The first ski tow was apparently installed in 1933 by Alec Foster at Shawbridge in the Laurentians outside Montreal, Quebec," which is in North America. If you mean, "in the United States," that Wiki goes on to say: "It was quickly copied at Woodstock, Vermont in New England in 1934...." It can have happened in 1934 or 1938, but it can't be both. And, if you mean US, say US, not America. Thanks.4.249.186.20 01:08, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

January 28, 1958

I believe that Charles Starkweather and Caril Ann Fugate killed C. Lauer Ward, his wife and his maid today, rather than began their murder spree... while the bodies weren't discovered until later, those killings happened on the 21st, I believe... anyone know for sure?

End of Rashidun Caliphate

A new blurb is added regarding the end of Rashidun Caliphate by assassination of Ali. I suggest to consider its inclusion for 2017. Mhhossein (talk) 06:50, 24 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
