Just so those were notable people that passed away in 2017. I don't what makes you think you undue all of that work I did. If some of the work wasn't completely correct then come speak to me about! Matt Campbell ( talk) 16:18, 5 January 2019 (UTC)
What do conventions or yearly articles have to do with anything?, and there were articles on those! Matt Campbell ( talk) 00:02, 6 January 2019 (UTC)
That edit war conflict isn't my fault it's there's. I was only doing what I thought was the right thing to do. Matt Campbell ( talk) 18:05, 6 January 2019 (UTC)
On one of those edits I accidently put 2 of them in the wrong place, then I put it in the right spot. If that was one of the error's then it's already been fixed.
What other error's did I cause? Matt Campbell ( talk) 00:26, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
Ok. My mistake. I'm sorry about that. Matt Campbell ( talk) 14:03, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Article(publishing). Since you had some involvement with the Article(publishing) redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. UnitedStatesian ( talk) 20:05, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
Hello, I'm Smjg. I noticed that you recently removed all content from List of positive integers and factors/bottom. Please do not do this. Blank pages are harmful to Wikipedia because they have a tendency to confuse readers. As a rule, if you discover a duplicate article, please redirect it to an appropriate existing page. If a page has been vandalised, please revert it to the last legitimate version. If you feel that the content of a page is inappropriate, please the page and replace it with appropriate content. If you believe there is no hope for the page, please see the deletion policy for how to proceed. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you wish to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.
Arthur, I have over 200,000 edits that you can revert. Or, you can just wait until I'm dead. Yours aye, Buaidh talk contribs 21:11, 18 January 2019 (UTC)
Genuinely curious; was it the single letter I replaced to fix a broken reference you needed to undo, or was it something else? If you're going to break a reference again, the least you can do is fix it, or explain the edit. I have literally no idea what, if anything, was wrong.

HI Arthur, my name is Ronit and I am a new editor to Wikipedia. I just created my first article yesterday but it has got a notice for deletion. Can you help me in keeping my article and removing the banners on my article? this was my first attempt. I would be really grateful if such a wonderful editor such as your self would help me with my other articles so that I can learn better. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ronitnath ( talk • contribs) 04:06, 9 April 2019 (UTC)
For the recent deaths section, United States state legislators have been listed there. It is unclear why an United States state legislator can not be listed in the death section of a given year article. Kenneth Hall (Illinois politician) served in he Illinois General Assembly from 1967 until he died in office in 1995. It is confusing that an United States state legislator can be listed in the recent deaths section but can not be listed in a given year article in the deaths section.

Hello Arthur Rubin,
I saw you're one of the main editors of the Green New Deal. Given your interest in climate change related articles, I invite you to have a look at the Wikipedia:WikiProject Environment/Climate change task force. It's been inactive for a while, but I strongly believe that this topic should have an active group of collaborating editors to help each other with a critical eye. If you'd like to contribute, please add your name to the participants section, add some task to the to-do list or help make the to-do list a bit shorter.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at 8th millennium BC, you may be blocked from editing. Your personal opinions about date format do not allow you to remove sourced content that had been added to expand and improve the three articles. If there is anything in MOS which supports your views, please give me a pointer as I can't find it. It is quite normal to write 10,000 BC with a comma, though I concede that usage of the comma with dates to 9,999 BC is perhaps 50/50. There is no "rule" whatsoever about having a space after "c." and both styles are widely used. I will, however, take a closer look at the date formats. Some of them had already been re-amended as you should have noticed. The new content will first be restored, of course, and I would advise you not to delete it again.

Just a friendly heads up that I've declined a number of speedy deletion requests you made for baseball player articles. Each of the articles had some good faith claim of importance (sources, awards, etc), which is a lower standard than actual notability. I agree that most if not all of those players aren't notable right now, so I left any prods in place. Cheers. ---- Fabrictramp | talk to me 00:12, 17 June 2019 (UTC)
Your message in my talk page is that you did not even check what the other user is propagating in the articles which he/she changes. He/she removes all mentions of both the Common Era and the Anno Domini calendar systems, in contradiction to Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Dates_and_numbers#Era_style.
He/she also left messages at my talk page where he claims that Common Era is a form of cultural appropriation. As for discussing with the editor as you suggested, you did not see his/her message right above your owm, did you? :"you can chove your common era bullshit where it's uncomfortable".

I actually don't have an account and this is my first time to edit and the reason i remove some photos and add the Logan Lerman picture because, the actor is very notable for a long time and most of the pictures that you put there were very unknown personalities/celebrities or not very notable. So I'm sorry if i cause you a trouble. -- 49.146.10.123 ( talk) 08:07, 28 June 2019 (UTC)
I don't know why you had a problem with that accountless user but i kinda agree with him/her though. Just because Logan Lerman is only notable for one role doesn't mean he doesn't deserve an image in the Births section. I think he should have an image in the birth section though. So if you want to discuss just reply to my message in your talk page. -- MarkyLyresh ( talk) 09:06, 28 June 2019 (UTC)

Can you please explain your comment, "Well, it CAN be so referenced. It shouldn't be", accompanying your reversal of my edit? Are you objecting to the use of the references or to the text which refers to "the seventh decade of the 20th century"? This expression is one which clearly is used, so if you are objecting to the use of the references, please explain why. These were put in to satisfy the previous editor who deleted mention of the expression on the grounds that he/she did not personally use it. Blurryman ( talk) 23:31, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

Since the introduction of temporary user rights, it is becoming more usual to accord the New Page Reviewer right on a probationary period of 3 to 6 months in the first instance. This avoids rights removal for inactivity at a later stage and enables a review of their work before according the right on a permanent basis.

How has the social scene here been the last 3 years. I've been away for awhile but the WMF blowup seems to have given me hope. 1YoudKnowIfUNEW ( talk) 17:54, 17 August 2019 (UTC)
Hello, Arthur -- Thank you for your email. Here is what I posted (that you removed as original research) --
(( 2043 will see the close of 6000 years of human history, according to the count of years in the Hebrew Old Testament. This may be readily computed by placing the construction of Solomon's Temple (1 Kings 6:1) at 966 BC, a widely accepted date based on the work of Edwin Thiele in the mid 20th century. From 966 BC count back 2992 years to the first man, as given in the Old Testament record. (1656 Adam to the Flood, 427 to Abraham, 430 to the Exodus, 479 to 1 Kings 6:1.) This places the first man at 3958 BC. 6000 years forward takes one to 2043 AD. ))
I read the concern about "original research," and I wonder if there is a misunderstanding. The 966 bc date is source attributed, so I think you mean that the following years need references -- 1656, 427, 430, 479. I can readily supply published references for these, I was merely trying to keep things brief.
But in the section about "original research" it is mentioned that a source needs either to be cited for attribution -- or, a fact needs to be attribut-able. Each of these numbers is attribut-able from a variety of sources: McClintock and Strongs Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature 1867, Volume III, "Chronology." Or, Smith's Bible Dictionary, a classic commentary. Or, "The Time is at Hand," Charles Russell, 1889, Chapter Two, "Bible Chronology." (or many other places.) Here are relevant citations from the last source which is most conveniently at hand (a book whose circulation is listed on the internet as exceeding 4,000,000 copies).
1656 -- The Time is at Hand, 1889, Charles Russell, "Bible Chronology," page 43.
427 -- The Time is at Hand, 1889, Charles Russell, "Bible Chronology," page 44.
430 -- The Time is at Hand, 1889, Charles Russell, "Bible Chronology," pages 44-47.
(The 479 years is evident from 1 Kings 6:1 directly, as year 480 just beginning means a passage of 479 complete years to that point.)
None of these four periods is esoteric or unique or modern -- they are well known figures for Old Testament students that James Ussher of the 1600s, Isaac Newton of the 1600-1700s, and every researcher since then to modern times would be well familiar with. (Certainly nothing that is original with me.) Anyone involved with this area would recognize these figures as wholly generic and widely recognized staples in this field.
The only one of these in any sense modern is the date 966 bc, which is attributed to Edwin Thiele of the last century (whose work in this field is widely known and respected, it holds the first place, strongly endorsed by contemporary scholars also, such as Kenneth Kitchen of England.)
(The various sources mentioned do not merely reflect the opinions of some one particular Christian fellowship, they are widely and generally used.)
Regarding the 6000th year -- this is not a trivial observation. From pre-Christian Jewish times, through Christian times, the meaning of the close of 6000 years in both Jewish and Christian thought has been well expressed and well studied, as introducing a much revered 7th Millennium. The study of this has drawn luminaries such as Isaac Newton, Joseph Priestley, and very many since then.
This area lay at the root of early Christian expectations -- See the article "Millennium" in McClintock and Strongs, Volume 6, pages 264 and forward -- and is still very much part of thinking in many branches of Christianity, to a lesser extent also in Jewish thought. (Whereas the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th millennial periods are not.) Thus the close of 6000 years, beginning the Seventh Millennium, is more than a passing curiosity for the great many who have historically, and currently, engaged in the study of this subject.
Granted, this interest would be specific to cultures with roots in Judeo-Christian thinking. But that includes quite a number -- suggesting it is worthy of notice.
Please advise me. I would be glad to edit as necessary. However, perhaps in light of the above, the blurb might stand as is. Here it follows again --
(( 2043 will see the close of 6000 years of human history, according to the count of years in the Hebrew Old Testament. This may be readily computed by placing the construction of Solomon's Temple (1 Kings 6:1) at 966 BC, a widely accepted date based on the work of Edwin Thiele in the mid 20th century. From 966 BC count back 2992 years to the first man, as given in the Old Testament record. (1656 Adam to the Flood, 427 to Abraham, 430 to the Exodus, 479 to 1 Kings 6:1.) This places the first man at 3958 BC. 6000 years forward takes one to 2043 AD. ))
DavRice ( talk) 20:12, 21 August 2019 (UTC) David Rice
Hello, Arthur -- Yes, I am aware of the Ussher article. Note that his date for creation was 4004 bc, and his date for the temple was 1012 bc. That is 2992 years. That is the same sum as used in my post -- 1656, 427, 430, 479 -- 2992 years. The difference is that Ussher did not have access to the date for Solomon's Temple in 1 Kings 6:1. Now we do, since the well respected work of Edwin Thiele in the mid 20th century. Thus the year ending 6000 years -- using the count of years in the Hebrew Old Testament -- is 2043 ad. It seems well worth a notice.
(( There were millennialists in AD 1000, 1033, 2000, AH 1000 ... )) ---- Perhaps some misunderstanding here. My comment was that the end of 1000, 2000, 3000, or 4000 years, from the beginning, were not points of interest -- but the end of 6000 years from the beginning has been of interest.
Yes, there have been millennialists for the past 2000 years seeking a solution to this point. Some of them thought that the key figure of 6000 years from the beginning would bring them to 1000 AD, and other possibilities. They used something like an Egyptian long chronology, using the Septuagint version of the Old Testament, which expands many of the numbers, and other variations. Thus my mention, "according to the Hebrew Old Testament." If we use that count -- and affix it to the now widely accepted date of Edwin Thiele (966 bc, 1 Kings 6:1) -- then we have the end of 6000 years in the year 2043 ad.
As you observe, this question has been of interest for some centuries now. Now that we have a good fix on the year 966 bc for Solomon's Temple, the result yields 2043 ad for the close of 6000 years. This result, so long of interest to so many, seems a good point to at least observe in the list of things due in 2043. Is that agreeable?

(( Do you want your IP6 (starting with 2600:....) redacted from the logs? )) ---- Yes, please. Thank you for asking.
(( We (Wikipedia) operate from sources. )) ---- ok -- but I endeavored to supply ample sources. McClintock and Strong's, Smiths's Bible Dictionary, The Time is at Hand (4 million circulation), Ussher's Chronology -- that support 2992 years from Adam to Solomon's Temple, and each of these is a long standing reference work. The only "new" piece is from 70 years ago -- Edwin Thiele's work, "The Mysterious Numbers of the Hebrew Kings," which is the reference work on the date 966 bc. Even the NIV study bible years ago picked up on this and includes this date in their footnote on 1 Kings 6:1. From there it is simple addition.
I myself have written two books on the subject, "The Stream of Time," and "The Approaching End of the Harvest," the first one in 2002, the latter in 2016. Both are available on the internet in PDF form. You can find these at "www.2043ad.com" -- a website up for several years now. (Button "6000 Years.")
(( If you can find a single reliable source which settles on 2043 AD being 6000 AM (allowing for calendar drift), rejects the other chronologies, and says why it is significant to Christianity, I would reluctantly agree that some mention should be included in 2043. )) ---- The two books mentioned above are the best on this. I have studied this area for more than 50 years. But these books, though going into intricate detail on the Venus Tablets of Ammizadugua, the Lunar Dates of the 12th Dynasty of Egypt, and additional confirmations for 966 bc drawn from the studies of Rodger Young -- still use as their foundation the long standing and oft published facts about the testimony of the Hebrew Old Testament -- namely the 2992 years to Solomon's Temple.
All we are adding to this is the link to the now widely accepted work of Edwin Thiele -- 966 bc. (And no, I am not of the fellowship he belonged to and never knew him -- my only letter to him years ago reached his publisher just after his passing.)

Hello,
Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.
I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!
From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.
If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.
Thank you!

I changed a small text on the 2nd-millennium and 3rd-millennium articles. I think the 1000s millennium and 2000s millennium are far more suitable names simply because it avoids confusion over the difference between the millennias and decades (1000-1009 and 2000-2009). If we leave it as 1000s or 2000s, it will create problems. What do you think? Should we keep it or change it back? WildEric19 ( talk) 23:04, 27 November 2019 (UTC) @ WildEric19:

Hi there.
I noticed on the 2020 page that there was a 14 December 2020 eclipse, so I thought, Oh, someone forgot to add the annular eclipse. I must add this if the 14 December 2020 eclipse was already added. So I added it, and when you went to remove it, you did not take notice of the 14 December 2020 one.

Hello, I'm Smjg. I noticed that you recently removed all content from List of positive integers and factors/bottom. Please do not do this. Blank pages are harmful to Wikipedia because they have a tendency to confuse readers. As a rule, if you discover a duplicate article, please redirect it to an appropriate existing page. If a page has been vandalised, please revert it to the last legitimate version. If you feel that the content of a page is inappropriate, please the page and replace it with appropriate content. If you believe there is no hope for the page, please see the deletion policy for how to proceed. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you wish to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

For the recent deaths section, United States state legislators have been listed there. It is unclear why an United States state legislator can not be listed in the death section of a given year article. Kenneth Hall (Illinois politician) served in he Illinois General Assembly from 1967 until he died in office in 1995. It is confusing that an United States state legislator can be listed in the recent deaths section but can not be listed in a given year article in the deaths section.

Hello Arthur Rubin,
I saw you're one of the main editors of the Green New Deal. Given your interest in climate change related articles, I invite you to have a look at the Wikipedia:WikiProject Environment/Climate change task force. It's been inactive for a while, but I strongly believe that this topic should have an active group of collaborating editors to help each other with a critical eye. If you'd like to contribute, please add your name to the participants section, add some task to the to-do list or help make the to-do list a bit shorter.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at 8th millennium BC, you may be blocked from editing. Your personal opinions about date format do not allow you to remove sourced content that had been added to expand and improve the three articles. If there is anything in MOS which supports your views, please give me a pointer as I can't find it. It is quite normal to write 10,000 BC with a comma, though I concede that usage of the comma with dates to 9,999 BC is perhaps 50/50. There is no "rule" whatsoever about having a space after "c." and both styles are widely used. I will, however, take a closer look at the date formats. Some of them had already been re-amended as you should have noticed. The new content will first be restored, of course, and I would advise you not to delete it again.

Your message in my talk page is that you did not even check what the other user is propagating in the articles which he/she changes. He/she removes all mentions of both the Common Era and the Anno Domini calendar systems, in contradiction to Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Dates_and_numbers#Era_style.
He/she also left messages at my talk page where he claims that Common Era is a form of cultural appropriation. As for discussing with the editor as you suggested, you did not see his/her message right above your owm, did you? :"you can chove your common era bullshit where it's uncomfortable".

I actually don't have an account and this is my first time to edit and the reason i remove some photos and add the Logan Lerman picture because, the actor is very notable for a long time and most of the pictures that you put there were very unknown personalities/celebrities or not very notable. So I'm sorry if i cause you a trouble. -- 49.146.10.123 ( talk) 08:07, 28 June 2019 (UTC)
I don't know why you had a problem with that accountless user but i kinda agree with him/her though. Just because Logan Lerman is only notable for one role doesn't mean he doesn't deserve an image in the Births section. I think he should have an image in the birth section though. So if you want to discuss just reply to my message in your talk page. -- MarkyLyresh ( talk) 09:06, 28 June 2019 (UTC)

Can you please explain your comment, "Well, it CAN be so referenced. It shouldn't be", accompanying your reversal of my edit?

Hi. I don't quite understand your AFD nomination of Jimmy Duquennoy, as if you were to read the guidelines and his results, he clearly meets them, having rode for a Professional Continental team and in UCI WorldTour races.-- Seacactus 13 ( talk) 15:45, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
Why do you keep removing Camille Kostek on the February list? Kostek not only gets more pageviews than Gaitan ( https://tools.wmflabs.org/pageviews/?project=en.wikipedia.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&range=latest-90&pages=Paulina_Gait%C3%A1n%7CCamille_Kostek), her page is also more developed (C-class) compared to Gaitan's stub. Kostek in on the cover of the iconic Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.
Also, every month has a female photo in it, save February with consecutive 3 males! A break from that, with a photo of Kostek, is good for formatting. Maxen Embry ( talk) 05:56, 31 July 2019 (UTC)

Since the introduction of temporary user rights, it is becoming more usual to accord the New Page Reviewer right on a probationary period of 3 to 6 months in the first instance. This avoids rights removal for inactivity at a later stage and enables a review of their work before according the right on a permanent basis.
Hi. Including WP:AN/I in the talk page of WP:Wikiproject France rendered it unreadable IMO, so I took the liberty of substituting your use of a template by a simple link. Regards, Comte0 ( talk) 20:48, 19 July 2019 (UTC)
How has the social scene here been the last 3 years. I've been away for awhile but the WMF blowup seems to have given me hope. 1YoudKnowIfUNEW ( talk) 17:54, 17 August 2019 (UTC)
Hello, Arthur -- Thank you for your email. Here is what I posted (that you removed as original research) --
(( 2043 will see the close of 6000 years of human history, according to the count of years in the Hebrew Old Testament. This may be readily computed by placing the construction of Solomon's Temple (1 Kings 6:1) at 966 BC, a widely accepted date based on the work of Edwin Thiele in the mid 20th century. From 966 BC count back 2992 years to the first man, as given in the Old Testament record. (1656 Adam to the Flood, 427 to Abraham, 430 to the Exodus, 479 to 1 Kings 6:1.) This places the first man at 3958 BC. 6000 years forward takes one to 2043 AD. ))
I read the concern about "original research," and I wonder if there is a misunderstanding. The 966 bc date is source attributed, so I think you mean that the following years need references -- 1656, 427, 430, 479. I can readily supply published references for these, I was merely trying to keep things brief.
But in the section about "original research" it is mentioned that a source needs either to be cited for attribution -- or, a fact needs to be attribut-able. Each of these numbers is attribut-able from a variety of sources: McClintock and Strongs Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature 1867, Volume III, "Chronology." Or, Smith's Bible Dictionary, a classic commentary. Or, "The Time is at Hand," Charles Russell, 1889, Chapter Two, "Bible Chronology." (or many other places.) Here are relevant citations from the last source which is most conveniently at hand (a book whose circulation is listed on the internet as exceeding 4,000,000 copies).
1656 -- The Time is at Hand, 1889, Charles Russell, "Bible Chronology," page 43.
427 -- The Time is at Hand, 1889, Charles Russell, "Bible Chronology," page 44.
430 -- The Time is at Hand, 1889, Charles Russell, "Bible Chronology," pages 44-47.
(The 479 years is evident from 1 Kings 6:1 directly, as year 480 just beginning means a passage of 479 complete years to that point.)
None of these four periods is esoteric or unique or modern -- they are well known figures for Old Testament students that James Ussher of the 1600s, Isaac Newton of the 1600-1700s, and every researcher since then to modern times would be well familiar with. (Certainly nothing that is original with me.) Anyone involved with this area would recognize these figures as wholly generic and widely recognized staples in this field.
The only one of these in any sense modern is the date 966 bc, which is attributed to Edwin Thiele of the last century (whose work in this field is widely known and respected, it holds the first place, strongly endorsed by contemporary scholars also, such as Kenneth Kitchen of England.)
(The various sources mentioned do not merely reflect the opinions of some one particular Christian fellowship, they are widely and generally used.)
Regarding the 6000th year -- this is not a trivial observation. From pre-Christian Jewish times, through Christian times, the meaning of the close of 6000 years in both Jewish and Christian thought has been well expressed and well studied, as introducing a much revered 7th Millennium. The study of this has drawn luminaries such as Isaac Newton, Joseph Priestley, and very many since then.
This area lay at the root of early Christian expectations -- See the article "Millennium" in McClintock and Strongs, Volume 6, pages 264 and forward -- and is still very much part of thinking in many branches of Christianity, to a lesser extent also in Jewish thought. (Whereas the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th millennial periods are not.) Thus the close of 6000 years, beginning the Seventh Millennium, is more than a passing curiosity for the great many who have historically, and currently, engaged in the study of this subject.
Granted, this interest would be specific to cultures with roots in Judeo-Christian thinking. But that includes quite a number -- suggesting it is worthy of notice.
Please advise me. I would be glad to edit as necessary. However, perhaps in light of the above, the blurb might stand as is. Here it follows again --
(( 2043 will see the close of 6000 years of human history, according to the count of years in the Hebrew Old Testament. This may be readily computed by placing the construction of Solomon's Temple (1 Kings 6:1) at 966 BC, a widely accepted date based on the work of Edwin Thiele in the mid 20th century. From 966 BC count back 2992 years to the first man, as given in the Old Testament record. (1656 Adam to the Flood, 427 to Abraham, 430 to the Exodus, 479 to 1 Kings 6:1.) This places the first man at 3958 BC. 6000 years forward takes one to 2043 AD. ))

Hello, Arthur -- Yes, I am aware of the Ussher article. Note that his date for creation was 4004 bc, and his date for the temple was 1012 bc. That is 2992 years. That is the same sum as used in my post -- 1656, 427, 430, 479 -- 2992 years. The difference is that Ussher did not have access to the date for Solomon's Temple in 1 Kings 6:1. Now we do, since the well respected work of Edwin Thiele in the mid 20th century. Thus the year ending 6000 years -- using the count of years in the Hebrew Old Testament -- is 2043 ad. It seems well worth a notice.
(( There were millennialists in AD 1000, 1033, 2000, AH 1000 ... )) ---- Perhaps some misunderstanding here. My comment was that the end of 1000, 2000, 3000, or 4000 years, from the beginning, were not points of interest -- but the end of 6000 years from the beginning has been of interest.
Yes, there have been millennialists for the past 2000 years seeking a solution to this point. Some of them thought that the key figure of 6000 years from the beginning would bring them to 1000 AD, and other possibilities. They used something like an Egyptian long chronology, using the Septuagint version of the Old Testament, which expands many of the numbers, and other variations. Thus my mention, "according to the Hebrew Old Testament." If we use that count -- and affix it to the now widely accepted date of Edwin Thiele (966 bc, 1 Kings 6:1) -- then we have the end of 6000 years in the year 2043 ad.
As you observe, this question has been of interest for some centuries now. Now that we have a good fix on the year 966 bc for Solomon's Temple, the result yields 2043 ad for the close of 6000 years. This result, so long of interest to so many, seems a good point to at least observe in the list of things due in 2043. Is that agreeable?
DavRice ( talk) 23:09, 21 August 2019 (UTC) David Rice
(( Do you want your IP6 (starting with 2600:....) redacted from the logs? )) ---- Yes, please. Thank you for asking.
(( We (Wikipedia) operate from sources. )) ---- ok -- but I endeavored to supply ample sources. McClintock and Strong's, Smiths's Bible Dictionary, The Time is at Hand (4 million circulation), Ussher's Chronology -- that support 2992 years from Adam to Solomon's Temple, and each of these is a long standing reference work. The only "new" piece is from 70 years ago -- Edwin Thiele's work, "The Mysterious Numbers of the Hebrew Kings," which is the reference work on the date 966 bc. Even the NIV study bible years ago picked up on this and includes this date in their footnote on 1 Kings 6:1. From there it is simple addition.
I myself have written two books on the subject, "The Stream of Time," and "The Approaching End of the Harvest," the first one in 2002, the latter in 2016. Both are available on the internet in PDF form. You can find these at "www.2043ad.com" -- a website up for several years now. (Button "6000 Years.")
(( If you can find a single reliable source which settles on 2043 AD being 6000 AM (allowing for calendar drift), rejects the other chronologies, and says why it is significant to Christianity, I would reluctantly agree that some mention should be included in 2043. )) ---- The two books mentioned above are the best on this. I have studied this area for more than 50 years. But these books, though going into intricate detail on the Venus Tablets of Ammizadugua, the Lunar Dates of the 12th Dynasty of Egypt, and additional confirmations for 966 bc drawn from the studies of Rodger Young -- still use as their foundation the long standing and oft published facts about the testimony of the Hebrew Old Testament -- namely the 2992 years to Solomon's Temple.
All we are adding to this is the link to the now widely accepted work of Edwin Thiele -- 966 bc. (And no, I am not of the fellowship he belonged to and never knew him -- my only letter to him years ago reached his publisher just after his passing.)

Hello,
Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.
I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!
From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.
If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.
Thank you!

I changed a small text on the 2nd-millennium and 3rd-millennium articles. I think the 1000s millennium and 2000s millennium are far more suitable names simply because it avoids confusion over the difference between the millennias and decades (1000-1009 and 2000-2009). If we leave it as 1000s or 2000s, it will create problems. What do you think? Should we keep it or change it back? WildEric19 ( talk) 23:04, 27 November 2019 (UTC) @ WildEric19:

Hi there.
I noticed on the 2020 page that there was a 14 December 2020 eclipse, so I thought, Oh, someone forgot to add the annular eclipse. I must add this if the 14 December 2020 eclipse was already added. So I added it, and when you went to remove it, you did not take notice of the 14 December 2020 one. Is this supposed to happen, or is it just my wondering why solar eclipses are not added to these years? 69.246.122.149 ( talk) 01:20, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
