message: The Y10k section is an example of someone taking an April fools joke too seriously. Not only was RFC 2550 released on April 1, 1999, but its content is obviously humorous (unless someone seriously thinks that a program needs to handle all possible dates in the lifetime of the universe and more). In my opinion, this RFC deserves no attention in a serious context. I'm not going to completely remove the section, in case someone can find a source that genuinely speaks of a "Y10k" problem.

message: I noticed that you reverted my edit in which I added the Wii and Animal Crossing: City Folk year 2036 problems, on the grounds that Reddit and YouTube are not reliable sources. Except that they are pretty much the best sources we can get for this kind of thing. People have discussed on these problems on forums without providing screenshots/photos/videos as proof. Do you think Nintendo is going to openly acknowledge that they have this problem on their console and game? I also can attest to the Wii thing because I have a Wii. Considering that we have an article for the Wii, it seems notable to include. I think we should mention it on the Wii article too. --Grey Clownfish (talk) 02:36, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: If the best sources for this information are unreliable, then the information should not be in Wikipedia. That's unfortunate, but all information here must be verifiable. The source does not need to be Nintendo; it can come from a magazine, newspaper or reliable online source that has reported on the problem, like all the other information in this article. Basing the content on your own observations would also not be acceptable, as that would be original research. CodeTalker (talk) 03:05, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd argue there are reliable source we can cite, Wii System Menu and Animal Crossing: City Folk. I'm not sure why citing software seems to unheard of. It's fundamentally no different from citing a book. If I had a book, I could cite it, and there would be no objection to that. I have Wii System Menu. Why can't I cite it?

message: I removed ATSC 1.0 from the section on year 2048.  An anonymous user added this on 7 September 2015.  This anonymous user claimed ATSC used signed 32-bit value, without providing any references.  Since 2015 other users added references for the ATSC standard, which show that ATSC uses a unsigned (not signed) value.  Therefore, not a problem in year 2048.  So I've removed this from year 2048 section -- netjeff (talk) 21:16, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
