WikiProject Years was featured in a WikiProject Report in the Signpost on July 2009. |
How should the parliament & members be shown in the "Year in" & "Decade in" pages for England, Great Britain & the United Kingdom's Incumbents' section? Let's use
2024 in the United Kingdom for an example.

The A option is my first choice, as we've been using it for years on these pages. As for the C option? One need only look at Year/Decade pages like 1450s in England, where it's quite cumbersome. GoodDay ( talk) 21:23, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
Folks, we could use more input here. Don't leave it up to just two editors. GoodDay ( talk) 16:43, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

I've noticed sometimes articles I create get tagged with WikiProject Years, for example in Special:Diff/1211004689 for 2024 Maurie Plant Meet. But when I've tried to tag some of the articles/categories I create with the WP Years template, it often gets removed. So my question is, are pages for annual (or bi-annual, etc) events/leagues that have the year in the title within the scope of WikiProject Years? Or would that only really apply to pages of the form "[year] in ...", like 2024 in athletics but not 2024 Diamond League or 2024 World Athletics Continental Tour or 2024 Maurie Plant Meet? -- Habst ( talk) 23:18, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
There is an ongoing RfC to set the criteria for inclusion on Wikipedia's Tornadoes of XXXX (ex. Tornadoes of 2024) articles. If you wish to participate in the Request for Comment discussion, you can do so here! The Weather Event Writer ( Talk Page) 21:31, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
I have gradually been populating the xxx in Russia articles. Are there guidelines for who to include as "Russian"? This could apply to any "xxx in some country" article, but it is particularly difficult for a country which has at various times included so many ethnicities. For now, I am including persons whose careers are substantially in modern Russia or in the Russian government of the time - for example, Georgians or Ukrainians or Poles who were in the Russian government or military or whose careers were in modern day Russia. I am excluding those whose careers were largely in their own languages and homelands, even if they occurred within Russian borders at the time. For instance, in the 1804 births section, I decided to include Mykola Markevych because he had been educated in Russia and served in the Russian army. OTOH, I excluded Peter Kharischirashvili because his career was either in Georgia or abroad, even though Georgia was under Russian rule at the time. Comments?

I found that the galleries in year, decade and centuries articles are often made in poor taste and does not provide any context to the reader. The captions are insanely long, not to mention that this is a nightmare to read for mobile readers. I would suggest that no lead image should be added and instead images should be added at individual sections, i.e. topics and each month for year articles. That would also necessitate changes in {{ Year in various calendars}} so that images can be added in january for year articles. CactiStaccingCrane ( talk) 09:56, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
