Talk:1000 (number)

message: The procedure for the articles on the numbers 200, 300, through 900, was based on a procedure that User:GUllman practiced with articles on the numbers 20, 30 through 90, of including at the end stubs for the non-round numbers for the numbers that followed (i.e., the article on 300 has at its end stubs for the articles on 301 to 399). The stubs are grown there until they grow big enough to merit their own articles.
When we come to the thousands, we find that fewer numbers in this range will grow big enough to merit their own articles. In fact, many of them might not merit stubs at all. So there will only be extremely short stubs for selected numbers in the 1000s. Some of these will grow to merit their own articles. Many will not.

message: The claim that the letter A does not appear in numbers less than 1,000 is simply not true; what about one hundred and one, one hundred and two, etc.?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by SPNic (talk • contribs) 17:56, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I've often wondered myself why people insist on repeating that "fact" about "one thousand" being the lowest positive integer to contain the letter A when "one hundred and one" is considerably lower.  However I think I may know the answer.  According to this page: 101 (number), it is not pronounced with the word "and" in American English.  Americans, apparently, pronounce it "one hundred one", in which case the fact about the letter A is indeed true.  In British English, though, we do include the "and" and therefore the fact is NOT true.  Can an American confirm that that is indeed how that number is said in the US?  --Stenun (talk) 19:14, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: im an american (a californian), and i have heard and used the words "hundred and one" "one hundred and one" "a hundred and one", "one hundred one", so i suggest they all be included as variants. i really dont know which is most common. Mercurywoodrose (talk) 07:29, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

message: The article contains the text "... [1001] can in some cases be greater than 1000". I'm reluctant to delete this, because I assume it is there for a reason, but is that wishful thinking, or does the statement have more than just its trivial meaning? Certainly, if there is any reason on Earth for the existance of the text, it needs to be explained.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cmsg (talk • contribs) 11:15, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: Moved :1000→:AD 1000; no consensus to move :1000 (number) → :1000.  A couple of people were passionate about the Year being the Primary Topic, but this did not seem to be a consensus view.  I'll start a move discussion on the 3rd move which garnered support, :1000 (disambiguation)→:1000, as this was not in the original request. User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 21:46, 30 August 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: * - Did you mean to say you support the 2nd move and oppose the 1st? The way you put your position makes it seem so, but the bolded section implies you want to move the number. Paintspot Infez (talk) 16:08, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

Comment on primary move outcome: the consensus to move :1000 to :AD 1000 does run against the "standard" for other numbers such as 1001, 1002, 1003, etc, but there is nothing intrinsically wrong with that.  Really don't want to see a move-war set in motion where all start to be moved en masse by an anxious editor.  Would also point out that of the 138 entries among all language Wikipedias (see Wikidata), english is now the only one with a qualifying prefix for the year. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 22:11, 30 August 2019 (UTC)

No, it's called a millennium. Chiliad can be used generically of any thousand things but it's emphatically not the standard term for thousand year periods. — LlywelynII 08:51, 4 December 2022 (UTC)
