Leiden

[edit]

Is there any connection between the siege of Leiden and the founding of the first Dutch university? If not, they should be separate entries, despite being the same year. Vicki Rosenzweig

Storm

[edit]

Removed Lake Effect Storm Aphid from October 3 since it was later in October the event happened. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.26.117.1 (talk) 19:09, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Soldiers

[edit]

How about adding Randy Shughart and Gary Gordon and any other soldiers who died on October 3, 1993.

Niger

[edit]

I think Niger gained independence from France on August 3, 1960, not October 3.

Emily Post

[edit]

Appears to have been born on October 27th not October 3rd. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emily_Post

Royal Australian Navy

[edit]

It was Saturday, October 4, 1913. At precisely 10.30am, the ships steamed through the heads into Sydney Harbour, their crews lining the rails, flags flying, and a band on the flagship, the 17,000-ton battlecruiser HMAS Australia. In line astern came the light cruisers Sydney, Melbourne and Encounter; then three small, whippet-thin destroyers: Parramatta, Yarra and Warrego, pleasingly named for Australian rivers.

CONTRADICTION: Townsend Harris

[edit]

On the "October 3" page, Townsend Harris' birthday is given as October 3. In the Wikipedia article it is twice given as October 4. --Vicedomino (talk) 17:13, 3 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Holidays and observances - Dionysius the Areopagite

[edit]

According to the article that is linked, D is celebrated by "the Catholic church" (which means I guess in the context the western Church) on Oct. 9, and by the Eastern Orthodox Church on Oct 3. For better or for worse, the Eastern Orthodox church has its own page Eastern Orthodox Liturgics and so Dionysius should be removed from this page.--2607:FEA8:D5DF:F945:34AA:14FA:FC69:224 (talk) 21:25, 3 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
