message: In the Undated section there was mention that the MI-8 organization, also called the Black Chamber (predecessor of the NSA) was founded.  Since I find no other reference to the Black Chamber being founded in 1913, and numerous sources citing post-WWI, I deleted the mentioning of it. Kirkesque 21:36, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

message: All entries for January were removed as obvious vandalism. This isn't an area I know, and wasn't sure what to restore from pre-vandalism entries. I didn't see anything else clearly wrong, but this article should be checked for other nonsense.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Augwhite (talk • contribs) 21:18, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

message: The First Balkan War is listed as an "ongoing" event. Ongoing means that it is still continuing today, right? But since the war lasted from 1912-1913, should it really be listed in "ongoing"? WM2 16:49, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Year articles are written in the present tense. It means they were ongoing during that year. Jim Michael (talk) 17:04, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :1913's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "CBH":
From 1856: 
From 1857: 
From 1823: 
From 1845: 
From 1867: 
From 1913 in the United Kingdom: 
Reference named "Pocket On This Day":
From 1838: 
From 1913 in the United Kingdom: 
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 23:38, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

message: There is a systemic bias towards events in US history. For the page to be unbiased some balanced set of criteria needs to be established for an event to meet the basic guidelines of being of global significance. I would have thought that it was clear that a 50th year anniversary/commemmoration of a Civil war battle is not of lasting significance to the state of the world.
Neither is the opening of buildings, minor weather events, small changes in the bureaucracy of the us government, minor acts of legislation, murders, some one winning a golf event, a tax cut (!) and probably best of all the event that the number of workers on the Panama canal reaches its highest level. Not the completion of the canal or even its' commissioning, but the point with the highest number of workers!
A school being opened somewhere in the world is an event that probably on average occurs a few times a week, the number of industrial accidents in the US is no more significant than the rest of the world and so on.
The additions that I put in I believe ARE important - Irish home rule bill was an important step in the conflict, the Chelsea flower show is the most prestigious in the world, the aquitania was one of the 'grand trio' of Cunard ocean liners and served in the wars, stainless steel was an important invention as was the first oil-fired battleship.
You can disagree with some of the additions, but to revert my attempts to make the page fairer and more objective does not strike me as balanced and impartial.Noodleki (talk) 11:02, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Sweeping changes often necessitate consensus, especially when other users have displayed their disagreement with the above. Additionally, continuing to edit war over this from multiple IPs won't win any converts to the above rationale.... 76.248.149.47 (talk) 23:46, 15 September 2012 (UTC)

text: I agree with User:Noodleki . As per WP:YEARS:
The events section is divided into months, each month has a calendar at the beginning and lists any important events that occurred. The month header once linked to the particular month in the year (e.g. January 2004), but no longer does. Each item links to the day.
Note that the word "important" is emphasised in the original. Given the existence of sub articles (by country and topic) it would seem obvious that only the most internationally important entries belong in the parent Year article the rest belong in the appropriate sub article.
