Nonsense (?)

I removed the following, since it lacks a date and doesn't seem to be of any value.

Mark English - voted worlds best tiddlywinks player --Badger151 06:23, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nonsense indeed. I'd say we get about 50 or so instances of such "vanity" edits to the Wikicalendar project each day. Normally Mr. English would have been a redlink, but since he shares his name with a notable person, the bluelink might have made this nonsense addition less obvious. Thanks for reverting it.

Deaths missing

These are missing for the 22nd October. Does the admin have a backup to restore them from? I am new to this, so this may not be the right place for this comment, but spent a few minutes reading the guidance before doing so. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.33.227.210 (talk) 14:54, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I just note that an important person is missing from births: Sarah Bernhardt (October 22, 1844 – March 26, 1923) I hope somebody will take care of that. Best regards —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ticka nistor (talk • contribs) 20:56, 17 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
