I was recently perusing this page because I was making the Template anniversaries page for this article. Some things I noticed:

• This page says the International Federation of the Red Cross was formed in 1863. But the article says it was 1919. When was it?
• This page says that Boulder Dam's first generator went online October 26. But the article says October 9. When was it?
• This page says that Jordan and Israel signed a peace treaty in October 1994. History of Jordan says it was in July 1994. If there were two treaties, then I have to wonder why... If there was one, when did it occur?

So, can the people who added these to the article provide cites? LuckyWizard 01:14, 6 Apr 2004 (UTC)

According to the official chronology of the Hoover dam, here, It was October 26th. I am updating the Hoover Dam article, and adding it pack to this page. LordJumper 19:33, 19 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
