[edit] de:/en:Quirinus Kuhlmann

(Net support = 4; Against = 0.3%)

German mystic and poet of the 1600s, follower of en:Jakob Böhme, author of a utopian teaching seeking to unite all Abrahamic religions and restore Eden on Earth. Kuhlmann travelled to Constantinople, where he (unsuccessfully) attempted to convert the Turkish sultan, and to Moscow, where he was burned at stake after an accusation of heresy made by a Lutheran pastor of the local German community. Long story short, a truly remarkable personality. Until recently, the article existed only in German; the Russian version was created by yours truly.

[edit] en:Colorado balloon incident

(Net support = 1; Against = 0%)

An incident occurred in Colorado in October 15, 2009, which attracted world-wide attention and later proved to be a mere hoax. The real reason which Falcon Heene's father, Richard Heene engineered this hoax is to gain popularity and make a television station to broadcast a UFO reality show Richard made before.

  1. Quite interesting, and though it is a mere television "show", it is notable for its world-wide coverage.--RekishiEJ 15:31, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

(Net support = 1; Against = 0%)

A major racial conflict that began in Chicago, Illinois on July 27, 1919 and ended on August 3. During the riot, dozens died and hundreds were injured. It is considered the worst of the approximately 25 riots during the Red Summer of 1919, so named because of the violence and fatalities across the nation. The combination of prolonged arson, looting and murder was the worst race rioting in the history of Illinois.

It was more deadly than the 1910 bombing of the Los Angeles Times building by the McNamara brothers and would remain the deadliest bomb attack on U.S. soil for nearly seven years, until the Bath School bombings in Bath Township, Michigan.
