Talk:1972

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 14:01, 7 May 2004 (UTC)

message: There´s a terrorist by the name of Gerhard Muller mentioned in this article, and when you click his name you go to an article about a soccer player by the name of Gerhard Muller who is a different person and not a criminal. This should be corrected. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.251.240.113 (talk) 17:31, 12 August 2006
:This appears to have been corrected, with Gerhard Müller no longer being confused with Gerd Müller.  Noca2plus (talk) 16:31, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: And then it was broken again. I delinked it, but if someone with sharper German skills (or Greek skills) would like to translate one of the non-English articles on Gerhard Müller of the Red Army Faction, that would be a boon! -- Shunpiker (talk) 12:29, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

message: I was speaking with my mom on the phone about 1972. I asked her what she remembers from this year, and she mentioned a Gas Embargo.  I don't know any more details. 166.70.62.200 (talk) 23:29, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, the embargo was in 1973.  Just look up "1973 oil crisis" on Wikipedia and you will find it.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by ObeyK1NGTaz (talk • contribs) 21:45, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

It would be notable enough to be included here, but I can't find any evidence of it occurring. A Google search for "1972+tsunami" turned up no relevant results and Wikipedia's :Category:1972 in Japan comes up with nothing relevant. Graham87 13:51, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

text: I also saw a short paragraph somewhere in a book by Peter Sis. Perhaps there's information on the Czech  or Slovak version of Wikipedia?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by VltavaMusicFanatic (talk • contribs) 05:57, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

"* February 5 - US airlines begin mandatory inspection of passengers and baggage"
That entry was neither referenced nor linked to an article which has a reference.
In view of Airport_security#United_States, where it states "the Federal Aviation Administration required all airlines to begin screening passengers and their carry-on baggage by January 5, 1973", with a reference, I plan to remove the entry from the following two articles:
* 1972
