Talk:17th century

message: Thomas Browne discuss 17th century Britain one cannot ommit Sir Thomas Browne (1605-82) for his contribution in literature, linguistics, science, theology and botany spans the greater part of this century. Problem is his archaic, baroque and latinate text is  just too difficult for most to read these days.
:I hardly think he is one of the, say, twenty most influential persons of the 17th century? --Victor Gijsbers
I confess, I had not heard of him but one of the reasons for reading an encycolpedia is to discover what you don't know of subtle influences. Take care not to squeeze him out altogether. Robert Browne too, was influential. Who has heard of him?  (http://www.stamfordshakespeare.co.uk/history2.htm) (RJP 12:12, 12 May 2005 (UTC)

message: Shakespeare lived in the 17th century.
He was one of many writers who were very succsessful in the 17th century, the 17th century was a gloriours time to be a writer!
shakespear was a great writer, who will be known for decades from now. He swept the century with his mazing plays, and books.

message: I did it! I added the ridiculous event "Sir Thomas Wyatt wet hi pants in 1601". I merely used this page as a guinea pig of sorts to see how quick vandalism was rectified. (Whoever you are) fixed it quick, and I am convinced of the (relative) quality of wikipedia.

Shouldn't the end date be 1699? Or am I missing something? Jake-jakubowski (talk) 19:45, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: You're right, an IP recently changed it. It starts at 1600 not 1601 and ends on 1700 apparently not 1699. I've reverted it, thanks Danial Bass (talk) 21:37, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Glad to help! Jake-jakubowski (talk) 21:44, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: @Danial Bass Of course, it actually should be 1601 to 1700 (because the calendar started with Year 1), and I'm pleased to see that's what you've put in the article. --Blurryman (talk) 23:44, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
