Federal express delivery is notable?

[edit]

I'm wondering about today's entry re Federal express. This hardly seems notable to me. And if it is notable, will we also see "Virgin Recordstores's first CD sale", "First financial transaction by Bank of America", etc. I propose that the Fedex entry be removed. I'd like to hear your thoughts on this. Thanks, Hu Gadarn 19:07, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dunno about this one. Fed Ex is a huge corporation and one of the leaders in what it does. I believe they are the "standard" for worldwide delivery. Being the main competition to the United States Postal Service is quite an accomplishment but it is notable enough? I really can't tell you to be honest. My two cents? They are the company I think of over all others in the industry and makes them notable to me. But I ain't the final authority :-D -- Borameer 20:27, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
OK, thanks (and thanks for the quick replies to my various queries). I'll not delete this unless others weigh in here in favour of deletion. I will edit the entry though since it seems to be written with a "rah! rah!" tone. Hu Gadarn 21:05, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Jesus

[edit]

Should Jesus Christ's birthday be atleast mentioned? Read Star of Bethlehem to see what I mean, the Molnar section.–Sidious1701(talkemailtodo) 21:34, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This was already in the article at one point, but I guess someone removed it. No clue why. I'm guessing because it can't really be verified. --Haoma (talk) 03:32, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

1861

[edit]

1861 – The state of Virginia's secession convention votes to secede from the United States, becoming the 8th state to join the Confederate States of America. It joined the CSA on May 7, maybe that should be added so people don't think it joined the same day. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.127.71.183 (talk) 12:53, 17 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
