[edit] Validity of events
If an event such as the victor of the Indianapolis 500 were included in this page, I can see why some people feel it of less importance than the events transpiring of world import, such as those of Tianenmen Square in 1989; however, if they are still factual, might there be a way to include them still, such as differentiating between sporting events and politics, and so forth? I will in fact do this, and hopefully the disambiguation in importance is not felt to still be frivolous, as I can only assume it was previously. --4.225.19.109 18:49, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
- there exist already articles such as 1976 in sports, but no articles such as May 30 in sports. i suppose if someone were interested, they could make all 366 day in sports pages. Kingturtle 21:52, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
