January 7
in German and Dutch wikipedia pages the events are subdivided in Politics, War, Religion, Sciences and Technology, Sports, Economics, Disasters.
that subdivision enhances the usability of these pages. I propose the English wikipedia to use subdivisions. JaapB (talk) 08:21, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
In Ganymede_(moon), it's stated that "On January 7, 1610, Galileo Galilei observed what he believed were three stars near Jupiter, including what turned out to be Ganymede, Callisto, and one star that turned out to be the combined light from Io and Europa". This page states that "Galileo Galilei observes three of the four largest moons of Jupiter for the first time. He named them, and in turn the four are called the Galilean moons. Ganymede was not discovered by him until January 13.". One of these must be incorrect. --213.171.57.163 (talk) 11:13, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
This should read (Gregorian Calendar). https://www.antiochianladiocese.org/news_110204_4 --142.163.194.135 (talk) 16:35, 7 January 2022 (UTC) or: Synaxis of the Theotokos (Julian Calendar) --142.163.194.135 (talk) 16:37, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
The Synaxis of the Theotokos is Dec 26, the day after Christmas. I should not have put it above, as it be Jan 8 on the Julian Calendar, not Jan 7, which is Christmas. That was my mistake --2607:FEA8:FF01:4B63:2442:C989:C4EE:EE53 (talk) 14:45, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
Wayne Routledge's page says 1985, this says 1986. Which is it? 2605:EF80:8049:BED:0:0:61:72D9 (talk) 19:03, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
1980 – U.S. President Jimmy Carter authorizes legislation giving $1.5 billion in loans to bail out the Chrysler Corporation. It's usually said that the president signs [whatever] into law. More importantly, my recollection is that the federal government didn't loan any money to Chrysler; rather, it guaranteed repayment of private-sector loans that Chrysler sought, allowing Chrysler to borrow at a lower interest rate. —71.105.243.101 (talk) 02:46, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
