Iranian radical is a lable. They known as Muslim student followers of the Imam's line. It proposed using this title.--Sa.vakilian 11:09, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

The link has been added. Thanks for the suggestion. --PFHLai 16:47, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Recommend adding link to Assassination of Yitzhak Rabin since the event itself is what happened on Nov. 4. Kelvinc 00:51, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Howard Carter and King Tut's tomb? For next year, I guess... — Editor at Large^(speak) 14:28, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the suggestion. The discovery of KV62 is scheduled to be featured on November 26, the anniversary of their entering the tomb, when Carter made the famous "tiny breach in the top left hand corner" of the doorway. Please see Wikipedia:Selected anniversaries/November 26. --PFHLai 16:47, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps should say Iranian students supporting the Iranian Revolution or the revolutionary government. Right now it sounds pejorative, like as to say "Bush regime." 67.194.202.113 (talk) 03:27, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Today is National Unity Day and Armed Forced Day in Italy

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holidays_in_Italy

Celebrating victory over Austria-Hungary, on November 4th 1918. This definitely deserves a mention. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fertuno (talk • contribs) 13:56, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Please create the National Unity and Armed Forces Day article first, or add a section to a currently existing article that specifically mentions this holiday. Thanks. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 15:56, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Day of Ashura 2014

@Howcheng: Although Ashura is always on the same day of the Islamic calendar, the date on the Gregorian calendar varies from year to year, since the Gregorian calendar is a solar calendar and the Islamic calendar is a lunar calendar. This difference means Ashura moves in the Gregorian calendar approximately 11 days every year. The date of Ashura may also vary from country to country depending on whether the moon has been sighted or not. According to the calendar, this year Ashura coincides with November 4, in Iran, Pakistan, India, US and some other countries. Mhhossein (talk) 03:49, 28 October 2014 (UTC)

@Howcheng:: Any particular reason not to put Election Day (United States) up today? Just an idea... --Jayron32 10:37, 4 November 2014 (UTC)

Historically, it's not something we've done. My one concern would be that if we add it for the US, we'd have to do it for most other countries as well. —howcheng {chat} 11:39, 4 November 2014 (UTC)

And if we have good enough articles for all those other countries, why not? --Jayron32 04:07, 5 November 2014 (UTC)

I don't mind, but I don't know when other countries have elections. —howcheng {chat} 16:30, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
