2004 - Air traffic controller Peter Neilson was stabbed to death by Russian architect Vitaly Kaloyev as the revenge for the Bashkirian Airlines Flight 2937 crash allegedly caused by the incompetence of Swiss air traffic controller company Skyguide.
This entry does not seem to me to be globally notable enough for inclusion. It is an interesting news item, but not notable. I can't imagine that this event can be considered a social milestone, major crime or impetus for widespread change. -- Mufka(u)(t)(c)02:05, 25 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Adding a long introduction to this article is not in keeping with the standard format of the date articles. The long narrative on the origin of the leap day is better left to its own article. -- Mufka(u)(t)(c)19:26, 15 April 2008 (UTC)Reply
The IP user who is responsible for this has a long history of trying to promote inaccurate ideas about Roman leap years in Wikipedia, based on outdated scholarship poorly understood. He refuses to discuss his ideas on Talk pages, and basically is incapable of accepting any ideas other than his own. In short, he's a crank. Most Wikipedia calendar articles related to this issue have been permanently semiprotected against him, but this one has slipped through the cracks until now.
I have changed the Roman discussion to something more appropriate for this type of page, and asked an admin who has been following this case to take appropriate action if it turns out to be needed, which I expect it will. --Chris Bennett (talk) 02:15, 17 April 2008 (UTC)Reply
Additional attempts to inject this information will be reverted on sight unless communication to consensus takes place. -- Mufka(u)(t)(c)14:48, 21 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Does anyone have any objection to my removing this event?
I cannot fathom that one thermite "device" could come anywhere close to doing the job. A chemist tried to dislodge an ice jam in the Allegheny River Gorge in Oil City, PA, back in 1926. After 38 attempts over several days using 8 pound shells, he couldn't come close. The Sun eventually did the job. That section of river is only 500 feet wide. The narrowest section of the St. Lawrence River near Waddington, NY, is at least 1500 feet wide (give or take).
This event is listed on many hundreds of "This Day in History" sites, but doesn't appear to be listed anywhere else. I suspect it's hogwash. Kentholke (talk) 14:42, 23 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

08:55, 25 April 2008 Steel protected February 24 (Problem anon [edit=autoconfirmed:move=autoconfirmed])
16:01, 15 June 2008 Wizardman changed protection level for "February 24" (No need to move. using TW [move=sysop])
22:12, 15 June 2008 Wizardman changed protection level for "February 24" (Re-semiprotecting after finding out why it was originally semi'd. [edit=autoconfirmed:move=sysop])
The reason seems to have been editslikethis. Similar problematic edits led to the semiprotection of February 29 at about the same time.
After nearly 18 months, I'd like to review this to see if it's still necessary. As well as welcoming comments from regular editors I've contacted Steel, the protecting admin. --TS07:01, 4 October 2009 (UTC)Reply
