message: I feel that Hubbert's Peak  is not relevent in an article on the end of the world.  The whole peak oil scenario will cause a change in our society but not the end of it. I have deleted the reference. Alan Liefting 21:06, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Hubbert's Peak 

message: I had added it there before, and I think it's pretty valid. It was quite a popular flash animation, so I figure people might come looking for it here. If you'd like it removed, I'd like to hear some sort of case on this discussion page, instead of just taking it off. Hanzolot 20:10, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah I keep removing it, seems to be my hobby. If you want to add it back, please create a Wikipedia article first. We only list red links if they could be a Wikipedia article, per the MoS. I don't think it could be a wikipedia article. The test is to create one, I may be wrong.  -- Stbalbach 21:23, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks a lot, I didn't know that it was a big deal to have red links. I might come back and try making a page later on when I'm more experienced, right now it's not really worth the time/effort. =) Hanzolot 06:24, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

message: This just does not strike me as legit.  I'm going to remove it, but here preserve it on the off-chance that it SOMEHOW is true... Or just so the rest of us can quietly laugh at it.
The Theory stating that on March 7, 2007 the spiraling vortex keeping the moon in orbit of the Earth will detach, causing the moon to come falling down to the Earth at a very high velocity. It will strike the Earth at full force causing a massive explosion equivalent to that of 28 million nuclear missles. If the vortex holds strong to do a last second development of a stronger pull, this will not happen, but there is only a .03% chance of that.

replies: text:  People-Scientists think on September 2,2012 a comet will strike the earth and will destroy the earth.  Wrong.  the comet will not strike the earth.  the comet will either miss and go to mars, or the comet will partly burn up and strike the edge of the earth.  Your call.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.51.148.77 (talk) 23:44, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Beliefs about the End of the World

message: Not sure why this was removed from the music section:
* "End of the World" is the title of Great Big Sea's cover of "It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)" by R.E.M.
Is it because it's the title of a cover, and thus sort of once-removed and seemingly irrelevant? Even if that's the case, shouldn't there at least be a link to the original song? Like:
* "It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)" (R.E.M. song)

message: And the DS game The World Ends with You (also known as TWEWY, Subarashiki Kono Sekai, and It's a Wonderful World), and added links to JRPG, Square-Enix, and Nintendo DS. If any of you know any other apocolyptic games, RPGs, whatever, add 'em; thanks! 69.171.164.27 (talk) 19:47, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Added the "Videogames" section 

message: The accompanying main-namespace page definitely needs the Dab-cleanup that it's been tagged for. What i intend to work toward is a split into a proper Dab page, plus some kind of SIA(s) -- List of eschatological schemata and something like List of scientific end-scenarios perhaps, which may deserve to be listed in the "See also" section. Subject to the principles that a Dab does not list all the titles that include the word (or phrase) in the Dab's title, and that grammatically related terms (canning, canned, canner) can sometimes be redirected to a common Dab page but conceptually related ones (End of the world, Ends of the Earth, End of Time) cannot, a lot of what is in sections other than "Theology", "Scientific", and "Locations on Earth" can be kept above "See also" in the Dab.    I think the most important thing is that a compliant Dab not be produced by simply discarding entries. Few if any entries on the current page should disappear from WP, and the rest should find a home on pages whose contents cohere by conceptual similarity rather than being contenders for the title "End of the world", which is what most or all of those in the three sections i mentioned, and the terms redirected to the Dab, in fact are not.--Jerzy•t 10:13, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Overview 

message: Besides the bypassing already mentioned, the Dab is still not cleaned up. It was pretending to be a Dab, bcz was neither disambiguating a single base title, nor a group of titles distinguished from one another by trivial differences; it was listing several base titles that are clearly distinct but each have end time as one of the competing senses. It is still a largely non-compliant Dab, but its problems no longer include having been subverted away from the core purpose of Dabs.--Jerzy•t 07:02, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
