message: :March 1 - The Envisat environmental satellite successfully reaches an orbit 800km above the Earth on its 11th launch, carrying the heaviest payload to date at 8500kg.
Satellites usually launch only once.  Should the credit for 11 launches go to the rocket type?  Hmm, looks like Ariane 5 was the ticket; I'll put that in.  Shenme 18:34, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

message: 01-July-2002: I have restored the prefix "Year 2002" which some people seem obsessed to remove from the yearly articles.  It allows a search-engine to match "year 2002" and, of course, conforms to the age-old "Never start a sentence with a numeral" (Google-search-Never-etc.) plus the word "year" is much shorter than the formal "Nineteen Eighty-four" and such.  Now, with that settled, no more "This article is about the year 2002" (big duh), and the top hat-note has been trimmed to the simple "Also see: 2002 (number)" as a quick one-line item.  Of course, numerous other articles have rambled with similar yada-yada hat notes (such as "Joan of Arc"), but there are numerous yearly articles to hint a pattern that they're obviously about the year, so no need to ramble, "This article is about the year nnnn" (if you see that, please shorten those hat-notes).  -Wikid77 05:34, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Year 2002

message: Simply changed the 2002 (number) page to 2002 (disambiguation) as the links do not refer to the number in the same way as the article 2000 (number) does, but instead refer to other links involving "2002". The 2002 (number) page still exists so that anyone can create a proper page for that subject if they wish. MXVN (talk) 06:57, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

message: GTA Vice City is one of the most popular game ever made that has sold millions of copies all over the world. It was also named game of the year 2002 by prominent game publishers and journals.  Rocksar's GTA series itself is extremely popular and I have noticed other articles mentioning release dates of other game series like Final Fantasy VII in the 1997 article (the first GTA game used to be mentioned in that article too) and GTA Vice City was a far more popular game than it. So why are those games allowed whereas GTA Vice City is not? And statistics show GTA Vice City has had far more world wide popularity to this date when it has numerous updates and modifications compared to and Final Fantasy games and it even made headlines for discrimination against Haitian refugees in the US and has caused legal battles. So if it is allowed for release dates of world wide popular games to be mentioned, why cant October 27 be written as the release date of one of the most world wide popular video game of all time? I request it please be added.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.97.178.114 (talk • contribs) 
: while the game may have been very popular, the release date itself doesn't seem generally notable as an event.  Furthermore, the guideline for recent year pages (of which 2002 is one), indicates that video game releases should only appear on the relevant subject year page (e.g., :2002 in video gaming).  With regard to Final Fantasy VII on the :1997 page: I have removed it under the same rationale for not being an intrinsically notable event.—Laoris (talk) 15:56, 12 October 2016 (UTC)

replies: text: In order to prevent this page from becoming unwieldy, the editing guidelines for recent years require a stricter level of notability than the encyclopedia at-large.  See WP:RYB for a description of these requirements.—Laoris (talk) 22:32, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

replies: text: Being known primarily for Eurovision is one of the exclusion criteria; being known only for one event probably should be one of the exclsion criteria.  — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 20:36, 19 February 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I can't see anything about being known for Eurovision on WP:RYB or WP:UNDUE. But if those are the criteria being used, then Gaia Cauchi and Felix of Denmark should be excluded (only known for Eurovision and being royalty respectively), and Levi Miller should be included (not known for only one event). I'll make those changes to the article. Chessrat (talk, contributions)  20:39, 19 February 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: There seems to be consensus that some royalty should be included, but that Eurovision should be disregarded in determining "international importance".  — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 00:28, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: When was a consensus reached on not including people known only for participating in Eurovision? If there is such a consensus then it should probably be added to an official policy. Chessrat (talk, contributions)  02:40, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, by definition, going to Eurovision has no international significance.  "Winning" might, but consensus at Wikipedia:WikiProject Years and at Wikipedia:Recent Years seems to be that Eurovision is entertainment, rather than a "contest".  If Wikipedia: WikiProject Music thinks it appropriate in "year in music" articles, it would be their decision. — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 03:33, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
