Add Doom? - Solved
[edit]Hello all, according to the wikipedia article, the first doom shareware release was released on this day in 1993. Considering the effect Doom had on the gaming and computing community and industry, should we at least mention it?
If there is no reason not to add it, I will add it.

edit - i have read the tags prohibiting video game references from being inside December 10th "on this day" box.
Plant Lady
[edit]- Do the two references to the "Plant Lady" on December 10 really meet the criteria for a historical event?--Silverhand 22:57, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
Took out the birth of Meg white from the events thread, mainly because that belongs in the births thread. --Edwartica 09:12, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
Women's Suffrage in Tasmania
[edit]I removed the following event:
I can't find a source for this. From what I can tell, Tasmanian women got the right to vote in Federal elections earlier in the year, and in state elections the following year. Can anybody verify this event? Alexbook (talk) 16:43, 10 December 2013 (UTC)
The Grateful Dead
[edit]Right …
It says here that the Grateful Dead’s first performance under the name ‘Grateful Dead’ was today in 1965.
The Wikipedia entry on the band say it was on 4th of December: at a Ken Kesey Acid Test[1].
Should I remove this: or can someone did up a reference, so we can clean it up?
Thanks … !

Births and Deaths
[edit]Continuing the ongoing effort to reduce the size of the Births and Deaths sections to make them manageable, I'm removing some celebrities with few or no articles in other wikipedias, moving the entries to the appropriate Year in Topic article if they were not already present. This is in accordance with the guidelines. See discussions at Wikipedia_talk:Days_of_the_year.Deb (talk) 11:33, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

Dan Blocker Birth Year Error
[edit]The birth year for actor Dan Blocker, shown as 1910, is incorrect. It should be 1928. On Blocker's wikipedia bio page, both IMDB and Find-A-Grave (down in the External Links section) list Blocker's birthdate as December 10 1928 -NOT- 1910.
I have not attempted to edit the December 10th page here with the correct birthdate for two reasons -- (1) Wikipedia's requirement that a source reference be included on any day-of-the-year pages like December 10; and (2), I am uncertain as to how much faith Wikipedia puts in the IMDB and Find-A-Grave sites as reliable sources.
The present listed source for Blocker here on December 10 is a WordPress-powered page which appears to be missing images. It is possible that this particular webpage has not been attended to in sometime. If so, this may suggest (although unproven) that the nostalia049 domain itself may be in jeopardy of going down.
I am simply reporting the birth year error, and will leave it up to others to correct it.

Error in the 1993 entry
[edit]In describing the Wearmouth Colliery in Sunderland, the entry states that it “had been in operation since the Middle Ages." yet the article about it says it opened in 1835. TravelinTexan (talk) 00:00, 10 December 2021 (UTC)
