Munich Crisis entry

• 1938 - Mobilization of the Czechoslovak army in response to the Munich Crisis.

This entry has been removed because it does not link to an article that supports the entry in its entirety. Per WP:DAYS, the entry must link to an article that supports it. In this case, the linked articles do not mention the date of September 23. -- Mufka ^{(u) (t) (c)} 21:45, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Removed Latvian festival

Yet another Latvian festival. Why do these keep appearing when the Latvian mythology page has been disputed (and not corrected) for years? The linked page (Miķeļi) has no supporting citations, so I removed it. The Lesser Merlin (talk) 11:25, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

Removed Eastern Orthodox Church New Year

Removed because there was no reference to it on the Eastern Orthodox Church entry or the New Year's entry, and I was unable to find reference to it on other lists of Eastern Orthodox Church holidays I looked at online.

Fort Knox

9/23/1974 was the first and only day in US history when "selected people" including TV cameras were allowed into Fort Knox in an effort for the US to prove there was actually gold there. Might be worth mentioning considering all the other nonsense on the page.Zdawg1029 (talk) 02:34, 5 April 2013 (UTC)
