[edit] More needed

The years project does not NEARLY capture the whole cultural impact of this year - it was the end of an era. Something more has to be said here.


[edit] page layout years

hi there what are you doing?

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).

Somebody wrote that Micky Mantle announced his retirement "while eating a bag of poop." I've removed this until it has been confirmed. -Tom


February 1969 is linking to Larry-the-Cable-Guy, where it lists "Larry's" birth year as 1963 . Someone may want to correct that.

[edit] Monty Python's Flying Circus

According to this page, Monty Python's Flying Circus originally aired October 5th. But according to this page, it originally aired September 7. Which one is real? --71.224.19.29 15:58, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
