The issues highlighted in the section on Asia under 'International Issues' are not representative of what the spectrum of countries were facing at that moment. Only China and India were highlighted, while the rest of the countries mentioned are not even part of Asia. There needs to be more research done on the issues that the rest of Asia faced during this time period of the 1980s. Ladybug97 ( talk) 05:44, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi,
I am trying to find out specific vocabulary used among the youth during the 80s -- maybe kids between the ages of 10-17 yrs. Also, certain games kids played. Do you remember there was a time when kids used to tie elastic bands together until it was really long and use them not as a skipping rope, but they would tie up their legs in them and do weird tricks?
"Kids" are ages 3-10, not 10-17. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.166.26.192 ( talk) 23:07, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Chernobyl should be in the montage. -- 204.82.159.89 ( talk) 17:32, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
We need to reach a consensus on the final selection of images included in the 1980s montage on the top of the page through a discussion (and not through edit wars) which would include (hopefully) many Wikipedians.
The current montage is composed of the following images:
Please share your opinion on this matter BELOW supplying reasons for or against the current images included and/or supply alternative suggestions. TheCuriousGnome ( talk) 17:42, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
The article is currently viewed (and will be viewed in the future) by a tremendous amount of young users from around the world whom were born after the 1980s. Some of them never heard of these events before and are not familiar with the history behind these events. Therefore, I think we need to choose the pictures wisely in such a way that our readers would be able to understand the importance of these events in the best way possible without relying on them reading the caption for each image.
Therefore, in my opinion it would be much better to choose the picture of the aftermath of Halabja poison gas attack by Saddam Hussein committed during the Iran-Iraq war, which gives a better understanding of the millions of innocent civilians killed during the Iran-Iraq War than the picture CatJar choose of one Iranian soldier with a gas mask and a weapon (This would be like choosing an image of a Nazi soldier to represented the whole Second World War).
Also, for the same reason, I think the image of the Germans protestors standing on the Berlin Wall with the Brandenburg Gate in the background helps our readers understand the notability of this event far better than the picture CatJar choose in which an East German guard can be seen talking to a Westerner through a broken seam in the wall - people whom never heard about the fall of the Berlin Wall would not immediately understand the notability of this event just by seeing that image.

This is the montage I would like to see on this page. I feel it best represents the 1980s in the best light, and is also informative. CatJar ( talk) 14:02, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
In my opinion the image of the Germans protestors standing on the Berlin Wall with the Brandenburg Gate in the background helps our readers understand the notability of this event far better because it was taken during day time and the wall, the protesters and the Brandenburg Gate can clearly be seen in it.

In my opinion, we should keep an image of the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster because it is widely considered the biggest disaster of the decade.
Does anyone else besides CatJar think we should add the image of the IBM PC (Model 5150) to the montage? I myself am not sure about this choice mainly because it doesn't represent any specific notable event and because many people would actually consider the 1990s to be the decade in which PCs became a mainstream phenomenon.

just skimming 2008 comments, i see very valid points about the wp page being usa-centric, etc, etc. trying to create even just a "summary" of "the 80's" is similar to trying to create 1 page to summarize all of wp (or "just" all of en.wp).

It says the 1980's was a decade that spanned from Jan 1,1980 to Dec 31,1989".I think saying the that it spanned from the years 1980-1989 would just do.I like the idea,although it is stating the obvious.Nothing of the sort appears on other decade articles.I'm not saying it should be removed,just giving an idea.←←←

Isn't there's an inconsistency in the use of capital and lower case letters here? Rwood128 ( talk) 22:15, 7 October 2012 (UTC)
All centuries and decades begin in a year ending in one and end in a year ending in zero. There was no Year Zero, meaning that the first day of the first decade of the first century, AD, was January 1, 1. The last day of the first decade was December 31, 10 and the last day of the first century was December 31, 100, not 12/31/99. Unless you're going to write off the first century as being only 99 years long, you have to begin and end decades and centuries on one and zero.
It's counter-intuitive, I know, but use your fingers and prove it for yourself.

A decade, century or millennium does not begin or end with any specific event like a terrorist attack, a revolution, a war, the birth of new fashions, etc. An old year ends at the stroke of midnight on December 31 and a new one begins, that is the same with centuries, millenniums, and decades when they begin and end, but they only do that on certain years.

The preceding comment is correct that the 1980s began Jan. 1, 1981 and ended Dec. 31, 1990. There is no year 0, so the first decade began year 1 and ended year 10.

I note the removal in early July 2008 of all External Links except one: US Cultural History 1980 - 1989. This typifies the imbalance of this wikipedia article. Look at the section on United States TV, then the "Rest of the World" link below! The 1980s should not be an article heavily biased to one country.
The page edits seem to be very dominated by a very few people.? Geekpie ( talk) 12:01, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
I think it definitely needs a more global view, preferably divided into sections like entertainment, sports, politics, culture, technology, trends, etc and then each section can then be subdivided by country/region and all organized in a neat timeline type view, with the year listed before events and if possible more specifically months and days in order and possibly an overview type of timeline containing major events from all sections which were particularly relevant, although achieving such would be very difficult as there would be constant disputes over what is relevant. 76.95.151.5 ( talk) 00:46, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

The 80's not ended december, 31, 1990 as according to the calendar that states the XX century ended in 2000? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Officer Boscorelli ( talk • contribs) 12:39, 23 April 2010 (UTC) A Decade ends because of the number it ends because of an events like for example 1990 is considered an epilogue of the 80s as 80s music and fashions were still used as of 1991 the eighties officialy ended with the Gulf War ,2000 the same and as of september 11 2001 the 2000s enters —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.50.36.116 ( talk) 04:07, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
A decade, century or millennium does not begin or end with any specific event like a terrorist attack, a revolution, a war, the birth of new fashions, etc. An old year ends at the stroke of midnight on December 31 and a new one begins, that is the same with centuries, millenniums, and decades when they begin and end, but they only do that on certain years.

The preceding comment is correct that the 1980s began Jan. 1, 1981 and ended Dec. 31, 1990. There is no year 0, so the first decade began year 1 and ended year 10. I generally defend wikipedia, but it is stupid things like this that make it harder to do. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.123.130.5 ( talk) 19:41, 17 August 2013 (UTC)
I note the removal in early July 2008 of all External Links except one: US Cultural History 1980 - 1989. This typifies the imbalance of this wikipedia article. Look at the section on United States TV, then the "Rest of the World" link below! The 1980s should not be an article heavily biased to one country.
The page edits seem to be very dominated by a very few people.? Geekpie ( talk) 12:01, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
I think it definitely needs a more global view, preferably divided into sections like entertainment, sports, politics, culture, technology, trends, etc and then each section can then be subdivided by country/region and all organized in a neat timeline type view, with the year listed before events and if possible more specifically months and days in order and possibly an overview type of timeline containing major events from all sections which were particularly relevant, although achieving such would be very difficult as there would be constant disputes over what is relevant. 76.95.151.5 ( talk) 00:46, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

They both serve the same purpose, the lead is too short, and the lead is transcluded into the portal as an introduction. · · · Peter (Southwood) (talk): 12:16, 9 July 2018 (UTC)

I'm trying to find references for people that were famous during the 1980s, but this time I'm trying to find credible references. This way, I'm trying to show why certain people were famous during this decade. Please let me know if this helps. Mr. Brain ( talk) 01:25, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
