Talk:1976

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 13:59, 7 May 2004 (UTC)

message: It was getting too long, so I've done some trimming. Since we have a category for births in 1976, we don't need to go listing all the people with articles born in 76, so I'd suggest we just list either those very famous nationally (i.e. All-Star Baseball players) or famous internationally (i.e. Hollywood A-listers).

message: Please clarify: Should this read there is CURRENTLY, i.e., as we read this, a drought, or there was a drought AT THE TIME?
I would assume "at the time" and will so edit, unless someone corrects me (in which case I have a question about the relevance). Tahrlis 21:03, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

message: February 28 – Mel Courtney wins the Nelson, New Zealand by-election after the death of Stanley Whitehead.
Is this really relevant?  Who cares?  The fact that he won after the death of Stanley Whitehead isn't even mentioned in Courtney's page.  NOT IMPORTANT.  Just one man's opinion. 204.101.237.192 (talk) 20:44, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

message: Should read: and 6th year of the 1970's decade. Because we start to count at 1, not zero. The seventies began on January 1st, 1971. 1970 was the final year of the 60's. Etc. That's how counting works. You don't include zero as an amount. The amount of '1' is achieved as one moves away from zero. Zero itself is not a quantity, just a placeholder for the 10th place in a series. I hope this math makes sense.
I can't find the place on the edit page to correct '7th' to '6th.' But obviously 1976 is the 6th year of the 70's, not the 7th. And also obviously, any pages that incorrectly begin a decade a year before it actually began would also need to be corrected. Maybe somebody here has a script that can be applied globally to fix this unfortunate and silly math mistake.
Thanks, and good luck with your information project !  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.136.29.18 (talk) 15:56, 23 October 2013 (UTC)
