Talk:History of the United States (1991–2008)

message: Due to the start of the North Korea crisis that may lead to a war, I propose that this page is moved to History of the United States (1991–2012) and that a new page titled History of the United States (2013–present) is created. Another reason why I believe this is the right choice is considering the fact that the War in Afghanistan is hopefully ending in the estimated 2014. Also, 2012 had ended with the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, which became a major subject in 2013. Soffredo (talk) 20:19, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: no, let's not do so.  No national leader or expert or commentator is calling 2013 the start of a new age for USA. -- now Cyprus is a different matter and it shows what a real transition looks like. As for future wars, here at Wikipedia we just wait for them to happen before we write about them. Rjensen (talk) 20:38, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

message: Same-sex marriage in the United States is mentioned next to nowhere (significantly) in this article. Perhaps that should be amended. Dustin (talk) 14:57, 26 June 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Same-sex marriage 

message: Think I made it a bit better; made some note of the continuing trend of racial disparities in crime and imprisonment rates, and tried to clean up the paragraph about Brown and Garner, and added links to both of their deaths, as well as Hands up, don't shoot and Black Lives Matter.

message: No mention of Donald Trump or the presidential election.  There should be a section of the hotly-contested election between him and Hillary Clinton.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by CountHacker (talk • contribs) 05:48, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I actually think there should be a new History of the United States article for 2017-present once Trump takes office. The 25 years from 1991-2016 is best defined as the post-Cold War era; the USSR collapsed in 1991 and the world order changed radically. Nonetheless, 2016 was the year global integration, freer immigration policy in the West, and free trade hit a massive electoral roadblock all around the world, and Trump's election was the capstone on the year of Brexit.Atrix20 (talk) 08:52, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  2016 Presidential Elections and Donald Trump 

message: I think the most sensible ways to split this article would be:
*History of the United States (1991–2001) and History of the United States (2001–present)
*History of the United States (1991–2008) and History of the United States (2008–present)
*History of the United States (1991–2017) and History of the United States (2017–present)
Or some sort of a combination of these (for example, 1991–2001 + 2001–17 + 17–present). What do you people think? Let's get this thing done. --Tiiliskivi (talk) 20:00, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Also, I would personally prefer 1991–2008 and 2008–present. 2017–present would have so little material in it, and the creation of such article based on Trump would be recentism bias. We don't know yet if history will view this event as a "turning point" like the collapse of the Soviet Union. --Tiiliskivi (talk) 20:06, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: As someone who has been an active stakeholder in this discussion, I will agree with this change. Although some notable pre-2008 trends continued beyond that year, the political and economic events of 2008 were significant enough to justify the year as a dividing point. I can also understand concerns about recentism bias and having a limited "2017-present" article, even if it was not created for another year or so. Nonetheless, I stand by the opinion, for reasons myself and others have already discussed at length, that holds that 2016/17 will remain a turning point period even if the impact of the 2016 U.S. presidential election are short lived. Joachimus (talk) 20:35, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I would tend to agree that 1991–2017 and 2017–present would be more sensible. 207.161.86.162 (talk) 04:26, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
