I didn't like that the new version increased the size while decreasing the font. It has a lot of blank space. My version incorporates the idea of listing them by decades but compacts that into the space efficient older version. The disclaimer is a lot better than listing heiphenated dates. If someone wants to change the wording of it that would be fine by me. savidan(talk) (e@) 19:42, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
