  • 1994 - At the Rose Bowl Stadion in Pasadena, Brasil wins against Italy his fourth soccer FIFA World Cup, 0–0 (AET), 3–2 (PSO). This match was the first final to be decided on a penalty shoot-out with no goals being scored either in regular time or in extra time.


This event (winning a FIFA world cup) is on the first page of all world's newspaper the day after the match. Furthermore other winners are noted in the "selected anniversaries" on wikipedia. Why this keeps on be deleted? If this is not relevant then all other finals should be removed.

Harvard Dental School edit

The on this day feature states that:

  • 1867 – In Boston, Massachusetts, the Harvard School of Dental Medicine was established as the first dental school in the United States.

From the Wikipedia article:

The move towards university-based dental education institutions (as they exist today) began with the formation of Harvard Dental School in 1867.

The first dental school in the world was the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery in 1840, now part of the University of Maryland, Baltimore. I suggest that the line be replaced to the following more accurate statement:

  • 1867 – In Boston, Massachusetts, the Harvard School of Dental Medicine was established as the first university-based dental school in the United States.
Fixed. Thanks. howcheng {chat} 21:34, 17 July 2012 (UTC)Reply
