[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).

* March 6 - Georgy Maksimilianovich Malenkov succeeds Josef Stalin as Premier and First Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.

Which event is meant by succeeds?

Malenkov was appointed the Chairman of the Soviet of Ministers of the USSR by a common meeting of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, the Soviet of Minsters of the USSR, and the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR on March 5, 1953, before Stalin's official death time. He was not appointed the First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party Soviet Union (there was no position called First Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union). He was and remained until March 14 one of the Secretaries of the Central Committee of the Communist Party Soviet Union. On March 15 the Supreme Soviet of the USSR officially elected him the Chairman of the Soviet of Ministers of the USSR. Andres 12:18, 8 Dec 2004 (UTC)
