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). talk-- BozMo 13:41, 7 May 2004 (UTC)

I note the item concerning the Isralei PM for July 8th. What's the source of this claim?

I'm not entirely sure what this is referring to. The siege was declared officially over on Febuary 29, 1996. Bosniak should probably be Bosnian and Serbs should probably be VRS or similar. Any input is welcomed. Zetetic Apparatchik 12:06, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

As the divorce was finalized on 28th August 1996, surely this item should preside in December 1995 and not '96. Moved to 1995. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.6.239.30 ( talk) 19:27, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
Davykamanzi: added hundreds of entries to the Births section, more than in any other year, and more pictures than in any other year (guideline is at most 2 per month, regardless of the space to be filled). I think the status quo ante of only about 30 notable births should be restored, and possibly a hundred or so more. I think many of those fail to meet even the minimal "importance" requirements of WP:WikiProject Years; if they do, the requirements need to be tightened, as the article is too long as it is. The editor stated that he went through the list (he didn't say what list), and removed 10s of the less notable ones. I don't doubt that, but there are still far too many. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 01:18, 26 July 2014 (UTC)
People who were born in 1996 are now adults, so they should be a lot of notable people who were born in 1996 listed in this article. They are a lot of people listed in the year 1995, the year before 1996 and 1997, the year after 1996, so why they aren't that much listed in 1996? It's not fair.

Dolly the Sheep does not belong on the photomontage. The animal was born in 1996, but the announcement for its creation was on 11 February 1997. Any thoughts? DementiaGaming ( talk) 21:43, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
