Shiva shrine at Gangabal Lake

Gangabal Lake is a high altitude glacial lake situated at the foot of Mount Haramukh in the Himalayas of Jammu and Kashmir, India. The lake is called Gangabal meaning 'place of Ganga' in Kashmiri language, and is considered sacred in Hinduism as an abode of Shiva. In the past, Kashmiri Hindus would immerse the ashes of the dead after cremation in the lake. An annual Hindu pilgrimage to the lake starts from the nearby 8th century Wangath Temple complex. This photograph depicts a shrine dedicated to Shiva situated at the shore of the Gangabal Lake.

The Soviet Union is one thing, therefore "its" -- not "their" -- is the proper possessive pronoun! This is a common and silly error!

"...The Soviet Union officially announced that all of ITS troops had already left Afghanistan."

The 'silly error!' has been fixed. Thanks for pointing that out. -- PFHLai 06:37, 2005 Feb 15 (UTC)

Today is Candlemas in the Eastern Orthodox world, and yet the fact is not mentioned. For shame! --Ghirla | talk 11:44, 15 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Today is Candlemas in the Eastern Orthodox world (actually only that part that uses the Julian calendar), and yet noone familiar with the fact had suggested it till now. For shame! Item added ;)--Pharos 20:31, 15 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I can't believe I missed Candlemas two years in a row. Yikes ! Thanks, Ghirla, for pointing this out, and Pharos for posting it. Thank you. -- PFHLai 01:12, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Our summary here calls the February 15, 2003 anti-war protest the "largest mass protest movement in history", but the linked article doesn't say that anywhere, or quote sources saying that. There is a source that the Rome rally was the "largest anti-war rally in history", but that's somewhat of a different claim. I don't know if the protests combined were or weren't the "largest mass protest movement in history", but it seems like we shouldn't claim so absent a source, so I'm going to remove this for now. --Delirium 02:46, 15 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
