Does the name "Jaxon Thomas" mean anything to anybody? It was added to "births" on 23 July with the comment I think this should be kept it is rather good for Australians. --rbrwr 19:02, 4 Sep 2003 (UTC)
- ...so I took him off. Most of the Google hits for "Jaxon Thomas" were Wikipedia-based material; there were a couple of junior sports club newsletters, but nothing to suggest he's a genuine star in the making. If that changes we can put him back on. --rbrwr 09:01, 21 Dec 2003 (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).
