[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] using born date
Should we include the birth year after the name under 'Deaths'? I don't think we should but if we do it should be consistent. Tkessler 03:27, Feb 16, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Notable?
The current version includes this phrase:
- 'October 24 - Arthur Hutchinson kills three members of Laitner family and rape their daughter in the Sheffield suburb of Dore.'
Is there really a notable enough event to list in the month's timeline for 1983? Hutchinson doesn't even have his own wiki page. I will remove it unless there are objections. Tkessler 16:58, Apr 4, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] "majestry"
I suspect "majestry" is a typo, but I'm not sure for what. Maybe "magistracy"? -- Jmabel | Talk 02:41, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Hendrix song
What about people who are looking for the Jimi Hendrix track 1983 (A Merman I should Turn To Be)? Should a link to the Electric Ladyland album be included at the top of the page?
[edit] And one more thing...
what about the novel "1983"? Surely you need to at least put something down...[nowiki]~[/nowiki]^v^ [[User:orngjce223|my home page[[Talk:orngjce223|my talk page]]]] 13:46, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Annoyed about people adding their birthday?
To whoever verifies the content of this page, do you get annoyed when people edit the page to add their birthday or do you just delete the entry and it's not a big deal? It's not inaccurate inforamation, but it's not exactly noteworthy either... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 192.147.58.6 (talk • contribs).
- If it's a redlink or unlinked, they get deleted. As with all cases, leave either a uw-test1 or uw-joke1 on the talk page of the contributor. --Sigma 7 22:13, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
