[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] Most reverted?
I seriously think 1989 qualifies for the most reverted page on Wikipedia. 1/2 the edits are reverts practically. and it's call cause silly people wanna get their name on Wikipedia. It's sorta funny. Stormscape 08:44, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

- I fixed that problem. I asked to have the page protected from future vandalism. You won't have to deal with reverts anymore. Bkissin 03:48, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Non-notable?
Thought I'd remove the entry below, because it seemed non-notable, but I didn't know the etiquette on the year pages, so I thought I'd put it here, in case it should go back.
- May 5- North London M.F. Taylor born.

[edit] Link update
Events -> Unknown date -> Retirement of the Alize aircraft: Alize should link to Breguet Alizé
-The link stating that in January James Watkins was appointed Secretary of energy should be redirected to "James D. Watkins." Wikipedia's entry for "James Watkins" is a different person.

[edit] Why protect this page?
What's the point of protecting this page?Ndp2005goh 14:31, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
- Because, as soon as we unprotect the page, 70,000 idiotic kids born in 1989 will post their names in the births section. After countless reverts, (Which were basically the only edits on this page) it was finally decided to protect it from further vandalization. Bkissin 21:38, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Another Summer
In a public enemy song there was a lyric, "1989 the number another summer (get down) sound of the funky drummer" I also request for permission to post lyrics that relates to the year. Does a sysop object? Vladimir Stalin 10:18AM EST 4.1.07
