Talk:16th century

message: I would like to place an external link to an online history portal that I believe offers added-value to wikipedia's history enthusiasts. This portal, http://www.saecularis.com, offers a good selection of history books, DVDs and posters that can be purchased online.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Anasl001 (talk • contribs) 15:40, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

message: Dates should come first in each entry.  See the pages for 17th, 18th and 19th century.  Over a long period of time I'll do the wiki-community a favor and slightly re-adjust the format of this messy page.  Dates must come first.  Some of these entries don't even have dates!  The century pages obviously existing for linear-thinking chronological types, this page clearly falls short of its goal.
* Yes but. Many movements or prolonged processes don't have exact dates, and it would be wrong either to a) exclude these, or b) falsely suggest a known precise time for, eg, the flourishing of a particular empire or culture. I've just added the building of the Great Enclosure at Great Zimbabwe to the article on the 14th century, and the best the archaeologists can say is: began early C14th, took about 100 years; peak of this civilization maybe C15th. It's nice to have dates, but don't get hung up on them. JackyR 16:48, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
