Drake

[edit]

Was Francis Drake knighted on April 4? Was he knighted as soon as he stepped off the boat? -- Zoe

When I checked this fact I saw several references to him being knighted while still on his boat. The Queen wanted a portion of his loot that he stole from the Spanish so she was very motivated to "legitimize" Drake's actions by knighting him. This pissed Philip off something fierce. --mav

An automated Wikipedia link suggester has some possible wiki link suggestions for the April_4 article, and they have been placed on this page for your convenience.
Tip: Some people find it helpful if these suggestions are shown on this talk page, rather than on another page. To do this, just add {{User:LinkBot/suggestions/April_4}} to this page. — LinkBot 00:53, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC) Dr.Martin Luther King got assasignated by JamesEarlRay —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.49.161.102 (talk) 18:07, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Second battle of the Somme in 1918 listed incorrectly?

[edit]

Should this not list as "The First Battle of the Somme (1918)", considering the timeline states that it ended on April 4 1918? The Second phase (or battle) happened from August 21, 1918 to the (essentially) end of WWI. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tommy6860 (talkcontribs) 04:12, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yo-yo

[edit]

umm... I'm not sure if I should put this here but in Kana De Manga it said that April 4 is National Yo-Yo Day in Japan. 98.217.132.179 (talk) 00:54, 31 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That is far too trivial to include. Jim Michael (talk) 03:37, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Included on the births page, is this serious?! This is a tricky precedent, are we going to include the several hundred (if not thousands) of articled racehorses or prizewinning dogs. I suggest the cat is removed and if needed a separate birthday list for animals is created. Richard Avery (talk) 07:14, 4 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If they are notable enough to have a wikipedia page, they are notable enough to be listed here in my opinion. That's the rule used on the Deaths in 2014 and related pages. EvergreenFir (talk) 15:32, 4 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with Richard... I don't think that the cat should even have a wikipedia page as well... What has "it" done notable? posty (talk) 16:53, 4 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
You are welcome to suggest it for deletion. Doubt it will go anywhere as it's quite a famous cat. Like any non-human page, it must be notable enough to have it's own article. EvergreenFir (talk) 16:54, 4 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Not going to bother because I know it won't get deleted... Just the sad state of today's world that we live in in what is considered "notable"... posty (talk) 17:12, 4 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Possible addition?

[edit]

I don't know the guidelines for inclusion, but a reader contacted Wikimedia ticket:2016070410018315 noting that Southern Airways Flight 242 occurred on April 4.--S Philbrick(Talk) 13:37, 5 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Possible addition: Microsoft's birthday

[edit]

Microsoft was founded on April 4, 1975 in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
