Hello, I’m having trouble with editing this page. I’d like to add that on the 8th of December (2020) Margaret Keenan, 90, was the first person in the world to get the Pfizer jab outside of the trial for the vaccine. The trouble I’m having is that when I click to edit the section detailing events in December, I am redirected to that of November instead. As I am only new to editing on Wikipedia I was wondering if there is anyone more knowledgeable than me who could help with this problem.
Thank you in advance. Wikaven ( talk) 20:52, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
On 02/02/2020 there was a (once in a thousand years) universal date palindrome. The last time this occurred was 11/11/1111. The next time it occurs will be 12/12/2121 and then after that we'll be waiting until 03/03/3030.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-51349158
This one WAS universal though, which is the point. Regardless of date format in any region, it formed a palindrome. Something that usually only happens around once every 1000 years. Fair enough if you both feel it's unworthy of a mention. I beg to differ.
Nope, they wouldn't qualify as universal date palindromes as some regions use mm/dd/yyyy and others use yyyy/mm/dd or various other combinations of these. If you read the article I posted it explains, better than I clearly can, why 02/02/2020 was so rare a calendar date. As for the calendar issue, I believe almost every region on Earth today either exclusively uses the Gregorian calendar or uses it on conjunction with a different calendar.
No, 12/02/2021 actually doesn't work in mm/dd format as it would read 02122021 in US format. Which as you can see is clearly not a palindrome. I mean you can call anything trivia, really. It was an event that people made note of at the time and celebrated, even if for trivial reasons. I feel it warrants inclusion. But I'm clearly outnumbered on the issue so no use continuing this unless other likeminded editors come to agree with me.
Oh of course, I'm not taking it personally whatsoever. Sorry if it came across that way to both of you.

11:08, 9 May 2022 (UTC)02/02/2020 was an International Palindrome Day (a day where the date is mirrored, everywhere around the world, regardless of date formatting). Such numeric dates usually only occur once every 1000 years, the last one was in 1111 for example. The next one will be in 2121, however after that there won't be one until 3030. Worth a mention? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-51349158 92.5.97.136 ( talk) 08:48, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
I'm very doubtful as to whether this adds anything to the article. It's not informative, as it contains no explanation of what any of the symbols are. I considered deleting it. Would like to know what others think. Deb ( talk) 09:51, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
The statement that "2020 has been a highly disruptive year that has been heavily defined by the COVID-19 pandemic and Death of Chadwick Boseman, which has led to global social and economic disruption, mass cancellations and postponements of events, worldwide lockdowns, worldwide protests, and the largest economic recession since the Great Depression of the 1930s." seems inappropriate at best, and an act of vandalism at worst.
There is no equivalence between the COVID-19 pandemic and the Death of Chadwick Boseman. And that's aside from the fact that none of the things it "has led to" can actually be attributed to his death.
Please remove.
That's a cheery little set of photos you've added, isn't it? Could you not find anything positive to include? Deb ( talk) 07:43, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
4me689 - Please remove this collage until you have consensus to include it. If you won't, I will. Deb ( talk) 17:45, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
Except that's not the case. Although I cannot speak for the other users, I have not agreed to have collages, I've said that it depends on each case. Indeed - my contributions to this article so far have been to remove the collage not once, but twice - here and here. I know what you mean about canvassing, and although 4me689 may be hoping he gets agreement, that's not a given. As it happens, in this case I'm ok with the collage, but I'd like to see some more Euro-centric details added here before I'm happy, if my opinion is worth anything. Chaheel Riens ( talk) 13:13, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
Replying due to ping. I support the collage as seen in this edit. [1] It has a wide spread of topics, and does not favour any particular country. Crew Dragon and the 2020–2021 Indian farmers' protest may not seem to be of import to some editors, but they are notable enough for articles, and they happened in 2020 - making them relevant to the article, although I'd probably remove SpaceX, and add in something a bit more European - but that's just me. Chaheel Riens ( talk) 21:04, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
The RFC at Wikipedia:WikiProject Years is still ongoing, concerning whether or not to have these Collage images. We really should just stop everything, until that RFC is formally closed & a decision rendered. GoodDay ( talk) 03:38, 25 October 2022 (UTC)

Video conferencing was the thing that marked 2020 the most for workers and students. Video conferencing can represent the lockdown itself. Lockdown is what is brought up the most when thinking back of 2020 retrospectively (after covid itself). I know a vote-based decision has already been taken, but I do not understand why a representation of this lockdown and its effects (such as a Zoom call) was not included in the collage, and no arguments were provided for its non-inclusion.
Seems like such a wasted opportunity to accurately depict to future humans what 2020 was like. 2020 wasn't just wars and rubble. CodemWiki ( talk) 10:42, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
