[edit] July 3 - drought
Please clarify: Should this read there is CURRENTLY, i.e., as we read this, a drought, or there was a drought AT THE TIME? I would assume "at the time" and will so edit, unless someone corrects me (in which case I have a question about the relevance).

[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).

[edit] Bush's drunk driving significant?
This event on September 4th not be worth mentioning, in the grand scheme of things. IMHO, it should be taken out. Something more important *must* have happened that day.. If not, I would like my birthday added (Jan. 21st) ;).

[edit] Births section
It was getting too long, so I've done some trimming. Since we have a category for births in 1976, we don't need to go listing all the people with articles born in 76, so I'd suggest we just list either those very famous nationally (i.e. All-Star Baseball players) or famous internationally (i.e. Hollywood A-listers).

[edit] London bombing - January
As per this BBC story, the IRA bombing was on the January 29, not 25, and it was in the West End, not East End, of London. --Jemiller226 06:06, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
