The objective of the Kyoto climate-change conference was to establish a legally binding international agreement, whereby, all the participating nations commit themselves to tackling the issue of global warming and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The target agreed upon at the summit was an average reduction of 5.20n 1990 levels by the year 2012. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Foresta ( talk) 02:43, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
The article currently states that the Kyoto Protocol expires in 2012. This is not correct. The first commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol spans from 2008 to 2012, and ends 31 December 2012. But the Protocol will continue until otherwise decided. The current negotiations on a new international climate regime is considering establishing a second commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol, which will begin 1 January 2013. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.91.213.34 ( talk) 07:13, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

I don't know why the Wikiserver posted my comment twice. I've deleted the repetition. Sorry for any confusion. Worldrimroamer ( talk) 01:04, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
Under the heading December: December 21, the following things are said which need to be corrected. I will correct them unless someone can tell me why it shouldn't be done. The current text says:
The Gregorian-calendar creation date given above is (generally) agreed to be correct. However, the creation date in the long-count Mayan calendar is 0.0.0.0.0, not 13.0.0.0.0. The long-count date 13.0.0.0.0 is agreed by most scholars to correspond to the Gregorian date December 21, 2012, although some calculate it to be December 23, 2012. But that's not my point -- the problem is that the creation date is 0.0.0.0.0, not 13.0.0.0.0. I would assume that this is just a typo on the part of the author. Also, I don't understand what "in modern notation" is supposed to mean. The number as stated is simply a translation of the Mayan base-20 numbers into base 10.
I have no idea where this number comes from. One b'ak'tun is 144,000 days, which is 394.25 tropical (or solar) years. The length of time it takes the earth to complete one precession on its axis is, based on the present rate of precession (it varies slightly with time) is about 25,765 years. I cannot even tell what it is that the author is referring to as that which is being "repeated". But anyhow, I cannot find anything that repeats in 5125 years. This needs to be clarified.
What "cycle"?
It's correct that they have not concluded this. But some academic researchers have strongly suspected it, which is a valid point to be made (and documented, of course). What has not been pointed out in this article but should be (and I can document this from multiple sources) is that it is generally thought by scholars that the Mayan "end date" in the long-count calendar is what they chose first, and then they stepped back, as it were, thirteen b'ak'tuns to arrive at the creation date, 0.0.0.0.0. This is one of the strongest arguments for the assertion made by some (which I personally believe to be correct, but I will not insert my opinions into a Wikipedia article) that the Maya knew about the precession of the earth's axis (precession of the equinoxes), and that they were aware of the existence of a "winter solstice" (another unproven, but very likely true, assertion) and that they recognized that the winter solstice of 2012 was the first time in almost 26,000 years that the winter-solstice sunrise would occur somewhere near the intersection of the galactic and the ecliptic planes. No one can, today, define that "intersection point in space" exactly, and even if it were identifiable exactly, the Maya would not have been able to predict the time of its occurrence exactly. I calculate, using standard statistical methods and assumptions, and based on an estimation of their astronomical observatories' minimal accuracies, that they probably could have determined the date of the intersection of the winter-solstice sunrise and the intersection of the galactic and ecliptic planes to within a few weeks. So why did they choose precisely December 21 as the end of the calendar? I suspect that it is just because it was (is) the winter solstice which occurred nearest the intersection of the galactic and ecliptic planes. HOWEVER --
HOWEVER: PLEASE NOTE THIS: I will NOT insert personal calculations and assumptions into a Wikipedia article. I belabor the above points about intersection of planes only because I know there are some that are interested in the topic. There has been so much written on this topic, maybe there is some other place in Wikisphere where it would be appropriate. Maybe it's already there. I dunno. Don't have the time ... But I'm just saying that any modification I make to the article will be strictly factual. Worldrimroamer ( talk) 01:00, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

Is the sinking of Costa Concordia with a few casualties really important enough to merit inclusion on this page? I'm thinking no. — Yerpo Eh? 08:06, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
This is stupid the way these pages are formatted. It is already halfway through January and not a single event is posted. Is the sinking notable? Hell yes it is. They've been talking about it for the whole friggin' week here in the US, on the BBC, everywhere. The cruise had an international passenger presence, so it affected every nation almost. Forgive my bluntness, but I can't stand how these year pages have become. We want so much neutrality that there is really nothing that merits inclusion anymore on them whether it's some major disaster or some earth-shattering discovery. Look at the older years like 2005 or 1994. They have some juice in them. The newer years have all bled dry. ( Tigerghost ( talk) 19:06, 19 January 2012 (UTC))
To reverse my opinion a bit, this event could potentially be added on the account of Costa Concordia being the largest passenger ship ever to sink. It would help if you mentioned things like that before dragging WP:IAR into this discussion (this goes to Kuzwa but applies to other previous and future discussions). As it was, it sounded just like an excuse to do it on a whim regardless of anything, which could only result in an edit war because the same argument could go both ways. Every other argument heard so far concerns mere trivialities - the number of casualties is comparable to a serious road accident. The number of inconvenienced or discomforted people is comparable to a decent snowstorm. The damage will probably be somewhere within the margin of statistical error for insurance companies, even if (or precisely because) they're multinational. Seriously, debates around here would be so much more constructive if people could focus on relevant stuff. — Yerpo Eh? 09:08, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

I don't know why the Wikiserver posted my comment twice. I've deleted the repetition. Sorry for any confusion. Worldrimroamer ( talk) 01:04, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
Under the heading December: December 21, the following things are said which need to be corrected. I will correct them unless someone can tell me why it shouldn't be done. The current text says:
The Gregorian-calendar creation date given above is (generally) agreed to be correct. However, the creation date in the long-count Mayan calendar is 0.0.0.0.0, not 13.0.0.0.0. The long-count date 13.0.0.0.0 is agreed by most scholars to correspond to the Gregorian date December 21, 2012, although some calculate it to be December 23, 2012. But that's not my point -- the problem is that the creation date is 0.0.0.0.0, not 13.0.0.0.0. I would assume that this is just a typo on the part of the author. Also, I don't understand what "in modern notation" is supposed to mean. The number as stated is simply a translation of the Mayan base-20 numbers into base 10.
I have no idea where this number comes from. One b'ak'tun is 144,000 days, which is 394.25 tropical (or solar) years. The length of time it takes the earth to complete one precession on its axis is, based on the present rate of precession (it varies slightly with time) is about 25,765 years. I cannot even tell what it is that the author is referring to as that which is being "repeated". But anyhow, I cannot find anything that repeats in 5125 years. This needs to be clarified.
What "cycle"?
It's correct that they have not concluded this. But some academic researchers have strongly suspected it, which is a valid point to be made (and documented, of course). What has not been pointed out in this article but should be (and I can document this from multiple sources) is that it is generally thought by scholars that the Mayan "end date" in the long-count calendar is what they chose first, and then they stepped back, as it were, thirteen b'ak'tuns to arrive at the creation date, 0.0.0.0.0. This is one of the strongest arguments for the assertion made by some (which I personally believe to be correct, but I will not insert my opinions into a Wikipedia article) that the Maya knew about the precession of the earth's axis (precession of the equinoxes), and that they were aware of the existence of a "winter solstice" (another unproven, but very likely true, assertion) and that they recognized that the winter solstice of 2012 was the first time in almost 26,000 years that the winter-solstice sunrise would occur somewhere near the intersection of the galactic and the ecliptic planes. No one can, today, define that "intersection point in space" exactly, and even if it were identifiable exactly, the Maya would not have been able to predict the time of its occurrence exactly. I calculate, using standard statistical methods and assumptions, and based on an estimation of their astronomical observatories' minimal accuracies, that they probably could have determined the date of the intersection of the winter-solstice sunrise and the intersection of the galactic and ecliptic planes to within a few weeks. So why did they choose precisely December 21 as the end of the calendar? I suspect that it is just because it was (is) the winter solstice which occurred nearest the intersection of the galactic and ecliptic planes. HOWEVER --
HOWEVER: PLEASE NOTE THIS: I will NOT insert personal calculations and assumptions into a Wikipedia article. I belabor the above points about intersection of planes only because I know there are some that are interested in the topic. There has been so much written on this topic, maybe there is some other place in Wikisphere where it would be appropriate. Maybe it's already there. I dunno. Don't have the time ... But I'm just saying that any modification I make to the article will be strictly factual. Worldrimroamer ( talk) 01:00, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

Is the sinking of Costa Concordia with a few casualties really important enough to merit inclusion on this page? I'm thinking no. — Yerpo Eh? 08:06, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
This is stupid the way these pages are formatted. It is already halfway through January and not a single event is posted. Is the sinking notable? Hell yes it is. They've been talking about it for the whole friggin' week here in the US, on the BBC, everywhere. The cruise had an international passenger presence, so it affected every nation almost. Forgive my bluntness, but I can't stand how these year pages have become. We want so much neutrality that there is really nothing that merits inclusion anymore on them whether it's some major disaster or some earth-shattering discovery. Look at the older years like 2005 or 1994. They have some juice in them. The newer years have all bled dry. ( Tigerghost ( talk) 19:06, 19 January 2012 (UTC))
To reverse my opinion a bit, this event could potentially be added on the account of Costa Concordia being the largest passenger ship ever to sink. It would help if you mentioned things like that before dragging WP:IAR into this discussion (this goes to Kuzwa but applies to other previous and future discussions). As it was, it sounded just like an excuse to do it on a whim regardless of anything, which could only result in an edit war because the same argument could go both ways. Every other argument heard so far concerns mere trivialities - the number of casualties is comparable to a serious road accident. The number of inconvenienced or discomforted people is comparable to a decent snowstorm. The damage will probably be somewhere within the margin of statistical error for insurance companies, even if (or precisely because) they're multinational. Seriously, debates around here would be so much more constructive if people could focus on relevant stuff. — Yerpo Eh? 09:08, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

These were a domestic event and should not be included. A high death toll does not mean a domestic event should be included. There are terror attacks with similar and higher death tolls in other countries, eg. Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, which are not included on year articles. 89.194.8.3 ( talk) 15:01, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

The consensus has been that any state leader should be included even if they fail other WP:RY criteria. However the eception has been that leaders who were in office for such a short perod that they actually had no international impact could be excluded. I think this is the case here, someone in office for 9 days can hardly be considered internationally notable. DerbyCountyinNZ ( Talk Contribs) 06:52, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
I added him to the deaths section, but it was deleted. He is known (along with his brother) for writing the music to films such as Mary Poppins, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, The Jungle Book, and others. I find this notable, but I am confused why it was removed. -- Puckingham ( talk) 06:02, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
Why should this be included when many other road accidents, not to mention other accidents, with greater death tolls are not? DerbyCountyinNZ ( Talk Contribs) 20:03, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
I believe that the 100th anniversary should be included in upcoming events, because the sinking of Titanic was a major event that changed maritime history and had significant impact on safety regulations we imply today. Also, people from many different countries sailed died aboard Titanic, and many events will be held around the world in thier rememberance. Zyon788 ( talk) 23:35, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
Being the first mission to actually reach the Earth's deepest point is almost certainly notable enough for inclusion, it rivals ascending the highest point of Everest. (Perhaps not the first person, but it's the first again in 50+ years) Deepsea Challenger, here is the page for more details. -- Kuzwa ( talk) 04:31, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
There is a typographical error in this sentence. The proper spelling is "resigns". -- Ayelis ( talk) 15:26, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
I think the death of Chico Anysio, one of the most famous Brazilian comedians of all time, should be present on the death section of the 2012 page. His date of death was March 23rd, 2012. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joseph.ruggiero ( talk • contribs) 19:49, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
Should Jim Marshall's death be added in the death section? He has enough non-English articles. 71.201.90.109 ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 00:05, 6 April 2012 (UTC).

Shouldn't the 2012 Mali coup d'état, when at the 21th of March renegade soldiers seized power and overthrew president Amadou Toumani Touré, be added to the article? and if added, make sure to also write that Mali's membership in The African Union was suspended due to the coup. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.160.242.255 ( talk) 17:40, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
Now meets the WP:RY criteria but well short at death. Most non-English articles are stubs, others are clones of English. This seems to indicate insufficent notability for inclusion. DerbyCountyinNZ ( Talk Contribs) 21:23, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
I can't edit this page yet, but I was thinking that perhaps this could be added:
The USCB estimates that the world population exceeded 7 billion on March 12, 2012. This is cited here: http://www.worldometers.info/world-population/
