-Section [[Year#Symbols]] gives:
-:''a'' = 31556925.445 seconds
-But units normally should receive no italics:
-:a = 31556925.445 seconds
-For example, [[MOS:UNITSYMBOLS]] says:
-:''Write unit names and symbols in upright (roman) type, except where emphasizing in context.''
-Here [[MOS:EMPHASIS]] would seem to allow italics
-but [[MOS:WORDSASWORDS]] actually discourages it in this case:
-:''When italics could cause confusion (such as when italics are already being heavily used in the page for some other purpose, e.g., many non-English words and phrases), double quotation marks instead may be used to distinguish words as words.''
-So I propose rewriting [[Year#Symbols]] to avoid italics in general for "a" and using double quotes when necessary. [[User:Fgnievinski|fgnievinski]] ([[User talk:Fgnievinski|talk]]) 06:31, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

-If you add up the days in a non leap year there's only 364 days in a year and 365 in a leap year. Just add up the days on your calendar yourself! [[Special:Contributions/174.250.210.197|174.250.210.197]] ([[User talk:174.250.210.197|talk]]) 01:16, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
-== Perfect ==
-The short article under "Abbreviations for "years ago""! is perfect - thank You" - however, regrettably too less known by those linguistically incompetent geologists.[[Special:Contributions/2A02:8108:9640:AC3:4DF8:A0AF:4F2D:BE71|2A02:8108:9640:AC3:4DF8:A0AF:4F2D:BE71]] ([[User talk:2A02:8108:9640:AC3:4DF8:A0AF:4F2D:BE71|talk]]) 06:28, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
