Dear users of the Wikipedia!

As the most distinguished owner of this date (tis be my birthday!) I wish to invite you all to stand on ceremony and uphold tradition by talking like pirates during the whole course of September 19th which, in this year of 2006, shall fall on a Tuesday. Please also bear in mind that this is the finest day in our calender and I shall not be argued with.

My thanks, Cap'n Zoonotcher

P.s. please show your appreciation for this tremendous day by littering my vessel the Hangman with your generously donated dubloons. Fare ye well!

1985 Mexico City earthquake

[edit]

It occured on September 19, 1985. I believe it's notable. --Victor 12:25, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Talk like a Pirate day and formatting

[edit]

While Talk like a Pirate Day is very cute, it isn't a holiday. It isn't recognized by any government and it doesn't celebrate an event in history or any good done by a person or people nor is it of religious significance. As an encyclopedia one shouldn't promote this joke as veracity, because it may confuse people into believe that this day is officially recognized or that indeed this is a holiday to recognize the deeds of pirates. I do not think it belongs on On This Day.

Also, what's with the format?

September 19: Independence Day in Saint Kitts and Nevis (1983), Armed Forces Day in Chile, International Talk Like a Pirate Day, Prinsjesdag in Netherlands.

Today's date is bold, that makes sense. Why is St. Kitts Bold but not Chile or the Netherlands? Why are Armed forces day and Prinsjesdag bold, and Independence day and pirate day not bold? It seems like there should be a standard for this.

—Preceding unsigned comment added by Arthurian Legend (talkcontribs)

The standard is that almost all are bolded – except for Independence Day and Republic Day, since most of the content regarding the history where that specified country gained independence or first became a republic is generally posted on that country's article. As for International Talk Like a Pirate, I have no idea. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 06:32, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

First documented use of the smiley emoticon

[edit]

According to the article on Scott Fahlman was September 19, 1982. Is that notable enough for inclusion in Events for this date? cde 05:14, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It was posted last year, but not this year because it now does not qualify under the selected anniversaries criterion that the featured and bolded article must be well written. Scott Fahlman is currently still a little stubby article and Emoticon is tagged for cleanup. Cheers. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 06:27, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Prinsjesdag is a different date each year

[edit]

Prinsjesdag is the day that the state budget for the next year is announced in the Netherlands. It is always on the third Tuesday in September, and therefore falls on a different date each year, in 2007 on September 18.

I cannot change it now, because the page is protected through cascade from the main page. Aron Beekman 11:31, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mexico earthquake

[edit]

The article uses a magnitude of 8.0 Mw. This is supported by multiple sources, particularly the authoritative ANSS and ISC-GEM catalogues. The Richter magnitude ML  is deprecated for use in larger earthquakes. Mikenorton (talk) 08:24, 17 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
