Talk:1971

message: 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 14:02, 7 May 2004 (UTC)

message: The 1971 page lists July 16th 1971 as the day the four billionth baby was born, but I followed the "world population" link where it says that world population reached four billion in 1974.
The summary page for 1974 makes a similar statement. A summary page such as this should at least demonstrate consistency. So I removed it.  --snowlizard (talk) 00:29, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

message: Is her birthday a world event?
: No, but as a notable person born in 1971, it is correct that she is listed in the Births section of this article. Best name (talk) 13:15, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

message: According to the Greenpeace page, they officially changed their name from Don't Make A Wave on May 4, 1972. Was there some 'unofficial' use of the name in 1971 to justify its inclusion here (under Unknown Date)? -Jeff Worthington 22:46, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

message: "known as the year of cyclohexanol" - *what* ? I don't understand this, there's no reference elsewhere in the page to cyclohexanol ... Is this a clever joke and I'm too dim to spot it? 132.244.246.25 (talk) 08:36, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Hey everybody,
I'm just checking to see if someone who can edit this article could put in the birth of Markos Moulitsas Zúñiga. It's september 13th. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I think he's some kind of soldier or general but please put a mention.
Just checking,
