Duplication of June 28 events

Most of the people listed here as having died on August 1st actually seem to have died on June 28th according to their articles.

Yes, and Charles V was elected Holy Roman Emperor on June 28 (Not August 1), 1519. This whole page probably needs review and verification.

There were several pre-twentieth century birthdays listed here that also didn't match their articles, so I've removed them. Also removed the listing of Jack Kramer as being dead; he was alive and giving interviews in October 2004, after his supposed 2002 death.. I've also checked as many of the other events as I could; I also found a few that were off by one day, such that they actually occurred on August 2. I've also removed any events that specifically contradict their articles or other sources I could find; many of the remainder, especially for older dates, aren't specifically mentioned in the articles, though, so they maybe shouldn't count as "confirmed". I'm going to remove the {{attention}} tag; I'm sure I've missed some, but it's now pretty good. I transformed a vague Yitzak Rabin note to a more balanced, specific note about the Madrid Conference on October 30 1991. CDC (talk) 01:51, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)
