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 14:04, 7 May 2004 (UTC)

message: I corrected several errors on Soviet Union spacecraft dates. However, these were only in January and probably continue onto the rest of the article as well. The problem is, many of the articles for the specified craft list no references, making it difficult to quickly verify the dates. If someone can scan through the article and make sure all dates are correct, and maybe find some sources for the individual articles on the craft, it would greatly improve the article.

replies: text: I've added a ref for Warnock. Schazjmd (talk) 20:01, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: That guideline needs to be heavily expanded for clarification because users will abuse it when they need to make a point or when good-faithed users are reverted and warned. And it says nothing about removing the current additions to all the year articles which have no sources on them as well which could confuse a newer editor not unlike us. This whole sourcing new content is a mess and extremely flawed that can certainly fall under WP:REPCITE. Elizium23, And There's also significant opposition to the policy itself and its application on that RFC you started, I think we should have a new broader discussion on the policy itself to see if the consensus has changed. And there's also needs to be a  headline when users edit the year page because users that don't understand the policy will be reverted. I believe if the info added is not questionable and covered by reliable sources on the linked page, then the addition of citation for entries, especially the new ones that user like you tend to monitor, there's should be not need for redundant sources. ₛₒₘₑBₒdyₐₙyBₒdy₀₅ (talk) 20:02, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: WP:Wikipedia is not a reliable source and we can't depend on linked articles to verify information for us. We've always known this. Elizium23 (talk) 20:13, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Your using the Wikipedia is not a reliable source policy wrong here in this situation Elizium23. That's for non-verified information that's just states the information on the linked page and is not verified by backing sources and That's not my argument here. My argument is how WP:DOYCITE is a redundant policy if the sources used on the linked page about the subject's death, birth, event or notable occupation around them. That revert dispute about the tag on Raphael Warnock should have never happened due to their being verified external sources from reliable news organizations on the special senate elections in Georgia and him winning. Here's the section on the article verifying his win in the election [1]. And WP:DOYCITE says nothing about updates to current entries on the page. This is one of the reason why that policy has to be expanded and clarified to avoid conflicts like this and we should have a new RFC discussion on WP:DOYCITE itself because like you said before, Consensus can change. I do support removing questionable info that is not clearly sourced and verified on the person's article itself, then WP:DOYCITE would make sense in that case. ₛₒₘₑBₒdyₐₙyBₒdy₀₅ (talk) 20:27, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Non-verified information such as the date of birth, which was 100% non-verified in the target article when you repeatedly added the same non-verified claim here. FDW777 (talk) 20:34, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: @User:FDW777, I wasn't the one that put that entry there in the first place. All I did was update the information now that he is the junior senator after defeating Kelly Loeffler and Elizium23 put a CN tag there after my edit, Implying there may have been a source needed for the updated information. That was the reason I reverted his edit. i'm not fully against WP:DOYCITE, but how it is applied and written.ₛₒₘₑBₒdyₐₙyBₒdy₀₅ (talk) 20:44, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

text: , there is no way to walk back that rule now, because what we had prior to that consensus was an exception to WP:V I welcome editors to open a new RFC and attempt it, but you won't find any joy, because WP:V is policy and there are no more exemptions to be had. Elizium23 (talk) 20:40, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: , I agree; I'm just suggesting a more appropriate venue for SomeBodyAnyBody05 to complain about it. The issue here is done. The DOB wasn't sourced on the BLP or in this article; now it is, in both places. Schazjmd (talk) 20:44, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
