Dates in article
I'm confused by dates in the article. The lede notes that Fawkes was discovered and captured on 5 November, but doesn't give a year. It does give 1605 for the year of the Gunpowder Plot, but I think it should be restated for 5 November, and 1606 for the year of his execution (if those are the correct years). Further down the lede we say that Guy Fawkes Night has been celebrated every year since 5 November 1605, but if that date was when he was captured, how was the celebration observed at the same time? The law proclaiming it a holiday wasn't passed until months later. This is a featured article (although it hasn't been reviewed in more than a decade), it should be correct.
