[edit] verification needed
i have removed:
- Mark Antony is defeated in battle by consul Hirtius in the Battle of Mutina.
Nothing of this is mentioned on our Mark Antony article. Can anyone confirm this? Kingturtle 17:33, 1 May 2005 (UTC)
[edit] John Negroponte appointment is notable?
I propose to remove this entry: "2005 - John Negroponte becomes the first United States Director of National Intelligence." I recognize that this is an important position but I don't think someone assuming the job is important enough to warrant inclusion here. Thoughts? Thanks, Hu Gadarn
- I agree. If this group ends up making some major historical contribution to history thanks to John's contributions, we might want to revist this. See ya in twenty years... Rklawton 18:05, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
