Historically, March 1st was considered to be the beginning of the year - Is this true? Prior to the 1750s, or whenever it was that England accepted the Gregorian calendar, March 21st was the first day of the year. -- Zoe

March 1st 1457 is the founding date of the Untitas Fratrum, (English = Unity of the Brethren), currently also known as the Moravian Church, the second oldest protestant church in the world.
According to press accounts, it was about the Jordanhill railway station in Scotland, and it was started by Wikipedia contributor Ewan Macdonald. [1] Should this be in the content of the notice about the millionth article? r3 05:18, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
An editor listed March 1, 1847, as the date the first democracy (Michigan) abolished the death penalty. While this may be interesting for the U.S., I don't think it has international implications since Michigan isn't a country. If states count, then so should provinces, cantons, etc., and I doubt those were considered when evaluating this "first." Speaking of countries, was Venezuala a democracy when it abolished the death penalty a few years later? Lastly, Michigan didn't abolish the death penalty for all crimes. It abolished the death penalty for all crimes except one. Therefore, Michigan shouldn't be considered death penalty-free until the second half of the twentieth century.

I agree that bobby sands' hunger strike was a very notable event known throughout the United Kingdom. Is this the most notable date? Or would it be of more note to mark his death? -Joulupukki 19:26, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
that could be a point. when he died it really turned the case global. thanks for your willingness to discuss it and not just go around chopping things. i'm australian, so it's not just exclusively known to the UK. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.16.103.211 ( talk) 23:22, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
This is continued from the Talk:December 31 page. The numbering is incorrect here: March 1 is the 60th day of the Gregorian calendar in non-leap years, and the 61st in leap years. Check February 28th to verify, or do your own math. Every single day from this point on is one off. -- ShadowWatch ( talk) 06:32, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
The Youth major league soccer event that has been added and re-added as an event on the page is not supported by a linked article and it is not globally notable. This event should not be added to this page. -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 04:10, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
I put the wrong thing in my edit comment (where I removed Chopin from the list); I meant to say: In the WP article, the baptismal certificate date is the only one mentioned as documented, so I've added him to the list on that date article, and removed him from this one. I really don't know where the whole brother thing came from -- I must have spazzed out somehow. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sugarbat ( talk • contribs) 17:55, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
I don't know much about writing articles on dates, but most of the things listed here are not of international significance. I think a note on it often being refered to as the first day of spring in the UK is worth a mention. I do not know what days are regarded in other countries. It also refers to it being the first day of Autumn in the Southern Hemisphere. Jolly Ω Janner 19:48, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
Personally, I think his description is very misleading. It states Jonathan Spector, American Footballer. This to someone who has not heard of him would sound as if he is an American Football Player where he is an Association Football player (or Soccer). Im not going to change it but I think it should be, would like a second opinion. Thanks -- Tukogbani ( talk) 15:37, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
From reading the detailed article on Nikola Tesla, I gather that he did something in St Louis in 1893, but it doesn't seem to have been a demonstration of radio. At least, the article doesn't say that it was. He doesn't even seem to have been involved with radio at that time. Torve ( talk) 23:01, 1 March 2017 (UTC)
Continuing cleanup as previously discussed in WikiProject Days of the Year pages. Deb ( talk) 12:39, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
I suggest both these be taken off. No offence meant to those who injure themselves - it is important - but these are not official in any way for the purposes of this page. -- Richardson mcphillips ( talk) 02:42, 1 March 2018 (UTC) ps I would add World Civil defence day. No support at all in link. -- Richardson mcphillips ( talk) 02:44, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
