Under births is User:Donald Gordon Oellerich, who, according to his article, "Currently a high school student, in the future he will undoubtedly contribute greatly to the world." He hasn't yet, however, so I question why his birth should be noted here (I think it's a user page, personally). Bryan Derksen
It's been about three months since I asked this question, so I'm going to assume silence implies consent. Removing him from the births and moving him into the User subspace. Bryan Derksen
- I think "Andrew", Matthew Dean Bussinger and Galen Daniel Maly should probably also be removed, along with 1987's Jaxon Thomas. I couldn't find anything interesting about the latter two via Google, and Andrew is a redirect to the saint. --rbrwr 18:59, 4 Sep 2003 (UTC)

- I wandered here in maintaining List of people by name: Mad-Mam, trying to find out who if anything Galen Daniel Maly might be. (He won something in one, maybe two science fairs.) I'm going to knock him off Mad-Mam, and the others (Matthew Dean Bussinger, Jaxon Thomas) mentioned here, if they are also on List of people by name's tree of pages. A heads up, or editing within that tree, would be welcome if someone decided or decides any of the them should be restored here. --Jerzy 17:39, 2004 Jan 16 (UTC)
Explain who this Mark Littler is before you post his birthdate here. AFAIK this isn't someone famous. Oberiko 16:09, 22 Mar 2004 (UTC)
[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).

Are the days of the week really necessary? And why do we have to repeat that we're talking about 1985 on every line? This is the 1985 article. I think it's obvious that the dates given are from 1985.
[edit] Everton?
I may be lost here, what is "EvertonEverton"??

March 3 - Women Against Pornography award their "Pig Award" to Your dad.claiming that their television commercials had "crossed the line between eye-catching and porn." ^^ I found that in the page, but I don't know what the real information is in there. I know there is a Women Against Pornography, but I don't know if that is a real award and the reason why I bring this up is the recipient: your dad. If anyone knows what this should be, can you fix it?
