Move the Chosin date back to 27th

The Chinese attack on Chosin did not start until the night of 27th, per Roy Appleman's work on Escaping the Trap: The US Army X Corps in Northeast Korea, 1950. This should be corrected. Jim101 (talk) 05:05, 31 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I move the entry back because the Battle of Ch'ongch'on River started on 26th. Jim101 (talk) 17:50, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Mumbai attacks

@Deb: Do you think we should be mentioning it both in the events section and the deaths section? I was about to remove it from the deaths section but wanted your thoughts. Kees08 (Talk) 07:57, 26 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No, I don't. We could name the notable dead in the entry for the event but I expect we will end up with people re-adding it under the deaths (and vice versa). But I would support the idea of removing it from Deaths.Deb (talk) 09:00, 26 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
