Wikipedia talk:Selected anniversaries/September 20 selected anniversaries
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The date for the Battle of Chalons according to most sources is June 20, not September 20:

Some do offer September 20 as the date:

Although some offer other dates:

Given the discrepency in the dates, shouldn't the battle be stricken from the selected anniversaries list, at least until further study validates the date? At the very least, the article itself and the selected anniversaies list should be consistent.
The article itself contains both June 20 and July 20, but I suspect that the July date is a typo.
