regarding the removal of the release of london calling: why is it not considered relevant enough? saturday night fever's release is on the list... nsw photo cards are there... why not?

Deleted the release of I am Legend from events. Reads like marketing to me. In any case, the release of a film is not notable enough for this page. Millichip 17:22, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Saddam Hussein capture date

Most available sources cite the date of capture as December 13 and the event is listed on that page. There might be conflicts in the date based on local times. It should be listed on the date that the capture took place in local time (Tikrit time). I'll survey some sources to see what it was. -- Mufka ^(u) ^(t) ^(c) 20:04, 29 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
