Talk:1959

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 14:21, 7 May 2004 (UTC)

message: What are the birthdate subheads two months (like "January-Febuary")?  Why not individual months, like events?  --DAW0001 (talk) 17:54, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it's because there aren't enough births in each month to justify it - having a section for each month would lengthen the table of contents. It's the same at 1958 and 1960. Ask at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Years. Graham87 07:50, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  OK, but it seems to me that there are not many fewer birthdates per month than event, at least in 1959.  --DAW0001 (talk) 23:20, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

The Cyprus article says it was 16 August 1960.
This article also says August 16, 1960.
