Excuse me, but uh, I was born on March 23, 1989 and I think I would know that the Exxon Valdez oil spill happened on that precise day! Please get your dates straight. I would really appreciate the some correct timing here people. If you're gonna talk about the spill at all, get it right! With love, Morgan :)

[edit] page layout years

There is a discussion on my talk page on page layout.

For most of the last three hundred years there is inconsistency and duplication between the year in topic paragraph, the "see also" box and what is on the year by topic pages. Prior to 1950 I am pretty convinced we can painlessly (except for sore fingers) delete all of the year in topic paragraphs and ensure that the material goes into a "see also" box, creating such a box where none exists. Post 1950, particularly from the "year in US television" link a lot of material has been added to this paragraph as highlights (sometimes making up most of the page content pointed at).

Personally I think we should still delete the paragraph, keep the box linking to the topic sites and move any particularly important parts of the year in topic paragraph to the main chronological list. This does involve undoing quite a bit of work which someone has done.

Therefore, unlike for prior to 1950 (where I've said no objection= I do it) for post 1950 I won't touch these pages unless a significant number of people agree with the change. (I am also unlikely to get the pre 1950 stuff done before summer unless the service speed improves dramatically).

can someone mention that this was in fact the year of the snake?? it would seem appropriate

[edit] Births

Connor Sisson just came out with his newist movie "Jonnys Quest for The nazi's gold" that is soon to be shown at the daysland Film Festival, and seeing that there are very few births here and that he is well known in western canadian independent film he should be added to the list and his page should not be deleated

[edit] Most reverted?

I seriously think 1989 qualifies for the most reverted page on Wikipedia. 1/2 the edits are reverts practically. and it's call cause silly people wanna get their name on Wikipedia. It's sorta funny. Stormscape 08:44, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

I fixed that problem. I asked to have the page protected from future vandalism. You won't have to deal with reverts anymore. Bkissin 03:48, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Non-notable?

Thought I'd remove the entry below, because it seemed non-notable, but I didn't know the etiquette on the year pages, so I thought I'd put it here, in case it should go back.
