Misc.

[edit]

I decided to change the picture from the Swedish Coat of Arms to the D-Day picture as this year is the 60th anniversary of the landings. Also in the selected anniversaries deleted the entry for 1523 - Gustav Vasa was elected King of Sweden And added 1844 - The Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) is founded in London Considering that there are already three entries about Sweden selected for June 6


Why would you do that? It is Swedens independence day after all. Lesser days like the W.A day have been highlighted recently. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Xelzefeyr (talk • contribs) 05:11, 6 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Moved/removed

[edit]

Moved to June 9:

From what I could tell, this was on June 9th (which is the date also given in the article). --mav

Moved to June 8:

My research indicates a June 8 date (which is also the date given in the article). --mav 05:06, 6 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Moved to June 16:

Nope - was on the 16th. --mav 05:06, 6 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Removed:

I could not confirm this outside of 'this day in history'-type websites and Wikipedia mirrors. --mav 05:06, 6 Jun 2004 (UTC)]

Moved to June 1:

Nope - was on June 1. -- mav 06:59, 6 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Jerusalem Day

[edit]

is it really appropriate to list Jerusalem Day here? it changes from year to year, as it is observed by the Jewish calendar 66.57.43.44 15:16, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

6/6/2006

[edit]

June 6, 2006 in refrence to the Number of the Beast (666).DragonMaster 18:57, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I added that sources were needed to back up, the statement made that on the date 06/06/06 (6/6/2006) the Number of the beast will be envoked. I understand this is a belief, but, if you check that article it says that the number could also be 616 not 666. Mrs.amberj 23:15, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Isnt there some sort of Belife that the world will end on Said date? --24.175.175.139 07:03, 13 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, again its a belief and if you check the page, there is also proof that it could happen on 6/1/06. So, it is not a fact. No one knows. its a belief. mrs.amberj 05:05, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I am deleting The Number of the beast but, will keep the fact that it is the 21st time that this has ever happened.mrs.amberj 05:05, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I don't recall the world ending on 06/06/1906.--Greasysteve13 05:02, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Me neither, and it is pure speculation to continually post this. Perhaps repeat posters are part of the promotion crew for some similarly-themed film. These pages should only list facts and notable items (release dates of every movie to hit theatres are not notable - see Wikipedia:Notability on a global scale over time. Fabricationary 05:11, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
06/06/06 is a popular superstition. Anyways, 06/06 only happens on - guess what? June 6th. It would only take up one entry out of 365 days for the articles about dates; I vote that it wouldn't hurt to add it in to the article. --FlyingPenguins 03:23, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps, but 06/06/06 has occured almost two dozen times since the establishment of the Gregorian calendar (which in itself is off by several years). Like you said, this date is a popular superstition - not a documented fact. Please see Wikipedia:Notability on a global scale over time for some criteria we've established on this matter. Fabricationary 03:40, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
This kind of thing is trivia with no real meaning. Superstitious significance is not real significance. Jim Michael (talk) 23:28, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Editing

[edit]

How come this page cannot be edited. I don't see any messages that says editing has been disabled? The Legendary Ranger 19:39, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree or think that a bit should be added in about speculation of the end of the world being today. ... Well I'm still alive. How about you? But still, It couldn't hurt to add that in.--Labine50 19:43, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The page was protected due to constant 6/6/06 vandalism. Speculation about the world ending today does not belong in this article. The world did not end in 1906, 1806, 1706, etc. --Coredesat 22:30, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sheesh, what's with people and this stupid 6/6/06 nonsense?-- The Legendary Ranger 11:18, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know why but 1968 does not show up in edit page. It's listing RFK's assassination June 6, which is wrong. The shooting was June 5 and he died on June 6. The error is protected from correction?!

Vandalism

[edit]

Slayer Day does not seem appropriate. It is also out of order. Vandalism? I think it should go. 71.141.124.109

666

[edit]

Should we mention that in any year that the last digit is a 6 (1976,1986,1996,2006), the date would be 6/6/x6/ x=the second last digit of the year. Both Omens did this in the advertising.

D-Day

[edit]

Instead of the D-Day link going to the term D-Day, shouldn't it go the Battle of Normandy page?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.101.126.231 (talk • contribs)

I think the current listing, since it starts with the Battle of Normandy and also links Operation Overlord to the battle of Normandy is right. The linking of D-Day to the generic D-Day page, which has at its top the pointer to the Battle of Normandy and in its text points out that the Battle of Normandy is a well known use of the generic D-Day H-Hour military coding, allows people to understand that the Normandy landings were just one use of the designator D-Day rather than its only use. --BotleyBoy 14:09, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dungeons and Dragons

[edit]

Really? Is that notable? 71.11.215.216 (talk) 02:00, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, it is. But what does that have to do with June 6? 66.31.9.250 (talk) 13:20, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Intro

[edit]

June 6 was D-Day. Surely more significant than the bombing of the WTC in 2001. The WTC bombing is mentioned, why not this? Wallie (talk) 12:45, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please centralize these discussions at WT:DAYS. -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 15:43, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

D-Day image

[edit]

I saw there was some discussion about D-Day that got moved over to WT:DAYS, but I didn't see anything concerning adding an image. It looks as if it was placed here during these 2 edits Kentholke (talk) 14:33, 14 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Moved/Removed

[edit]

The latest round of improvements includes:

  • Removal of duplicate entries for an Estonian footballer
  • Removal of celebrities with 0-4 articles in other wikipedias
  • Moving of musicians and writers to Year in Topic articles if they weren't already there

Deb (talk) 11:24, 18 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

In accordance with the guidelines, I'm continuing to weed the Births and Deaths sections by removing entries for celebrities with 0-4 articles in other languages. Where possible, these have been transferred to the relevant Year in Topic articles. As well as making the lists more manageable, this will help with the globalization effort.

Reminding The FAKE Birthday

[edit]

Excuse me! Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like to remind you all that; Tsunesaburō Makiguchi real birthday was on 23 July 1871, NOT 6 June, and also Nichiren real birthday was on 16 February 1222, NOT 6 April! So we hope that everybody NOT to citation the fake of dates, otherwise, you will get error confusion! Thank you and have a nice day...

不好意思! 女士及先生们, 我想要提醒你们大家的那就是; 牧口常三郎真正的生日是在1871年7月23日, 不是什么6月6日, 还有大日莲真正的生日是在1222年2月16日, 不是什么4月6日! 所以我们希望大家别引用那个假的日期, 否则, 你将会得到错误的困惑! 谢谢及祝你们日子愉快...

holidays and observances - Rafael Guízar y Valencia

[edit]

Rafael Guízar y Valencia died on June 6 but the Wiki article says his feast day is Oct 24 (he is not listed there). If his death day is notable, it should be above; if he is listed under "holidays and observances" it should be Oct 24. --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 11:52, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"Christian Eschatology"

[edit]

This unreferenced section is ridiculous. The LeHayes might have chose that date just for publicity. There is absolutely nothing in Christianity to make it a thing. It should be removed, if only for lack of references.--2607:FEA8:D5DF:F3D9:5C56:21D3:D947:9FC4 (talk) 13:06, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I tend to agree, so I'll do what you suggest. Deb (talk) 14:46, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
