Here's one that seems to be forgotten: "In the year 1284, on the days of John and Paul, it was the 26th of June that a piper in colorful clothing led 130 children away to calvery by the Koppen Mountain never to be seen again." This is the historical date of the Pied Piper's visit to Hameln! See more at www.thepiedpiper.de or www.hameln.de

Dear Editors, please add. Michael Boyer, The Pied Piper.

--- However, June 26 on the old Julian calendar is actually July 6 on the Gregorian. So, even though it was June 26, 1284, the dates were adjusted by ten days in 1752. VideoWizard2006

Michel Foucault

Michel Foucault didn't die on June 26th. According to his article and Introducing Foucault by Chris Horrocks, he died on June 25. I'm removing it. Blingice 06:15, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Harry Potter

I've added an important date for all HP fans: Philosopher's Stone published in UK 10 years ago today.--200.32.253.158 18:13, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

High School Crash

Hi there I added an event about the crash that killed 5 high school graduates, but it was removed because an editor felt it wasn't globally notable. While I admit it may not be globally notable, it certainly is within the US. It was on CNN and various other national news programs. Your thoughts? [[1]] --Bill.matthews 02:45, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Bill, while I can certainly sympathize how a car crash killing 5 people might impact a specific community, state or even single nation, this does not qualify it to be listed according to Wikipedia:Notability on a global scale over time.--Pennstatephil 14:58, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

I hadn't read that guideline before. I agree, it should stay off. I also removed Internet Radio Silence Day, clearly not globally notable. --Bill.matthews 16:42, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

I would argue that it is the "d-day" in internet radio's fight to stay alive. For now, though, I think maybe Portal:Music/Anniversaries/June could be a better home for it. I'll place it there. --Pennstatephil 18:22, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Tsarevitch's 'Mysterious' Death

What's so mysterious about it? It seems from his biography that he was tortured to death on his father's orders? GoldenRing (talk) 08:11, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

June 26, 2000

Good evening. I saw your comments on my Talk page, and saw that my edit (the addition of June 26, 2000 -- announcement of the human genome completion) had been reverted. Why? There are plenty of available citations; that was a significant event in scientific history. Yet, as I considered adding a citation, I saw that NO ENTRIES in the entire Events section had a citation. So, I reasoned, citations don't belong there, and thus didn't put one in. Also, I figured that since it was one of the most significant events in history, none was called for.

You wrote: "a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute." I agree (that how I proceed). But I think you *mean* something like "edits of a syntactic nature" can be minor, but "edits of a semantic nature aren't"?

So, I'm flummoxed on how to proceed, or in fact, what I should have done in the first place.

(Yes, me being defensive, I'm sorry, but I thought I did it right.)

Your guidance is welcomed -- ResearcherQ (talk) 03:43, 27 June 2013 (UTC)

Me again. I've re-read "Help:Minor Edits", which says:

• When not to mark an edit as a minor edit
  • Adding or removing content in an article

OK, got it. So, what do I do after your reversion. Just put the same thing in again, but not click "minor edit"?

Thanks -- ResearcherQ (talk) 03:49, 27 June 2013 (UTC)

holidays and obervances - International Refrigeration Day

I presume this was put here because the day should be deleted. It seems to be an industrial promotion day. --142.163.195.90 (talk) 22:11, 5 July 2021 (UTC)

Princess Amalia of the Netherlands

I added on the 26. of June Princess Amalia of the Neltherlands. Cause she was born on that day. I failed to put any reference to it cause of your complicated way of how to do that But you can ask anyone in the Netherlands if its true and they all will say YES. Some things are just TRUE you can show me how to add the link or you can just watch in every encyclopedia written after 2005 maybe 2006 and you will see its true. Or you can call every government official to know its true.Do me a favor and tell me how to add a link if it has to be or watch your own wikipedia page about her cause its there.If my additon has to be removed then so has that page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.206.155.74 (talk) 18:35, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

Seems to be an industry promotion. --2607:FEA8:D5DF:F3D9:0:0:0:9 (talk) 11:48, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

Birthday

Dear Team, Fahad Mustafa pakistani actor birthday is also on 26 June 1983,but his name was not in the list.. Kindly check this issue and kindly add. 119.153.173.167 (talk) 22:33, 11 June 2022 (UTC)

There needs to be an article about him - which appears to be the case. You also need to provide a reliable source that confirms his date of birth. Thanks, Kiwipete (talk) 09:39, 12 June 2022 (UTC)

Stitch Day (626 Day)

In recent years, this has become a holiday/observance because of the character of Stitch from Lilo & Stitch is also referred to as "Experiment 626", (626 = 6/26 = June 26). Is that notable enough to be added? - Jasonbres (talk) 17:22, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

@Jasonbres: For a holiday to be included it needs to have a separate article related to the holiday as per WP:EVENTDOY and would need a reliable source per WP:DOYCITE. Suonii180 (talk) 20:13, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
