Talk 1960

uh, Why is the table of contents at the BOTTOM of the page?

26-June-2007: The years 1900-1999 have a condensed Table of Contents since 28May07. See Talk:1950#Format (and "Talk:1950#Condensed TOC"). -Wikid77 22:05 26-June-2007

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 14:19, 7 May 2004 (UTC)

"September 4 - Kim Thayil, Guitarist of the now defunct grunge band Soundgarden is born"

This is offensive and probably vandalism. The birth of some random member of a semi-famous rock band is not noteworthy enough for this page. I am removing it.

Such a person would qualify to be included in the Births section of the article, but certainly not the Events section. Lkjhgfdsa 0 (talk) 17:43, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

I don't see the immediate relevance of "Ship events" at the bottom of the page. I feel this should be in a seperate article. Any thoughts? Jellevc (talk) 10:31, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

I'm not sure what is meant here by "immediate relevance". However, I agree that it's not really an important enough issue to warrant a section of its own here. If you can think of another article where it would be more appropriate to add this information then fine. JamesBWatson (talk) 15:58, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
