I've changed the link on the John Cage 4' 33" premiere back to Woodstock, New York as it was before, rather than Woodstock, New York - the article at Woodstock is about the festival, but this premiere wasn't at the festival but the place (and was 17 years before the festival anyway), so I think it's rather midleading to have this entry point there. There is at Woodstock a pointer to Woodstock, New York which hopefully will be written one day. --Camembert 11:17 Sep 7, 2002 (UTC)

Anyone know why Juice Newton is listed here for February 18?? I would think he was born or died then (yes, I know that little about him... at least, I think it's a him), but he's in the Events section right now, where that almost certainly doesn't belong, or it needs to say what he did that day, that year. -- John Owens 16:10 Apr 13, 2003 (UTC)

Fixed. She's a woman, by the way. --Camembert
I was probably conflating with Wayne Newton. Thanks anyway. -- John Owens

At 22:29 on Jan 5, 2003, 195.197.166.178 added January 11 - Unexplained blast shakes part of Southern California coastline from Venice to San Diego for 8 hours because I have not been able to find any such news story. Can anyone verify that it happened? Kingturtle 22:11 Apr 29, 2003 (UTC)


[edit] As of Maintenance

The entry

at 1952#Events needs checking once a year; as of 2004, St Martin's Theatre information on the London theatre including how to buy tickets and what's playing suits the task well.


[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).

I cannot believe that all three of "May 15 - Flash flood in Lymouth, England - 35 dead", "August 6 - Lynmouth in North Devon is devastated by floods - 31 dead", and "August 16 - Lynmouth in North Devon is devastated by floods, death toll of 31" are correct. Anyone know what really happened? -- SGBailey 10:34, 2004 Oct 22 (UTC)

According to the [BBC], it was 34 dead on August 16. Filiocht 10:47, Oct 22, 2004 (UTC)

Night of the 15th, morning of the 16th. That is what Lynmouth says too. And other sources ([1], [2], [3]).-- ALoan (Talk) 11:23, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Rick James

Someone has Rick James listed as being born in 1952 and his article says 1948... which is it? JoeHenzi 00:34, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
