The year in topic layout on this page is one of three versions. I seek opinions before making them all the same BozMo(talk)

Two additions needed for 1911

1911 is an interesting year:

  Ramanujan's first problem was posed:
     http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Srinivasa_Ramanujan
  Ishi was discovered:
     http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ishi
  Machu Picchu discovered by Hiram Bingham:
     http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machu_Picchu

the wikipedia entry for 1911 itself does not have the first two of the above listed. Blufoxxx (talk) 01:55, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

The first aerial photograph

January 10 - Major Jimmie Erickson takes the first aerial photograph (over San Diego, California).

But in the Aerial photograph article you can find this:

Aerial photography was first practiced by the French photographer and balloonist Nadar in 1858 over Paris, France.

9 entries for aspects of the Mexican Revolution

Ridiculous. Which part of b-a-l-a-n-c-e do you people not understand ? 213.246.124.90 (talk) 19:25, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

Good point. I'll try and get around to trimming/consolidating the entries in the next few days. DerbyCountyinNZ ^{(Talk Contribs)} 21:06, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

Frank De Vol

I reverted the entry for his death because it appeared to be a redlink, this was actually due to incorrect capitalisation. On looking at his article 5 foreign language articles would appear to indicate that he was internationally notable (as required for inclusion in a Year article). However, all the foreign language articles are small clones of the English one with no independent citations. ANd while his career is extensive it doesn appear to be particularly significant. If anyone has a convincing argument for inclusion I would have no strong objections. DerbyCountyinNZ ^{(Talk Contribs)} 04:14, 25 December 2011 (UTC)

4 Academy Award nominations for scoring films, in and of itself, is far above the notability threshold.(He received a fifth nomination for best song for the title track to Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte, which is not listed in his bio.) Even without those five nominations, he meets the notability guidelines. (The relevant subsection of the notability guideline is WP:ANYBIO. I will be restoring him to the list shortly.

Actually, I won't do it right now, because the article is protected due to your edit warring. (I can edit it, but I won't.) When the article is unprotected, I will restore him to the page. Horologium (talk) 18:20, 5 October 2012 (UTC)

Republic of China

Republic of China should be piped to Republic of China (1912–1949). It's currently a redirect to Taiwan. Kauffner (talk) 04:19, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

 Fixed Although the article is fully protected, this appears to be an uncontroversial change, especially since the October 10th entry was already pointing to the correct link (the only change I made was to the December 29th entry; I am assuming that is the entry to which you are referring). For future reference, use the {{edit protected}} tag for requesting uncontroversial edits to protected pages; that tag adds it to a queue for administrator attention. Otherwise, it will sit until an admin notices the request on the talk page, which could be quite some time for a lower-profile page. Horologium (talk) 13:33, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

Almaty

Almaty is a new name. In 1911, it was called something else (I think Alma-Ata at that time). Shouldn't the then-current name rather than today's name be used?
