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 add).

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).

Removed:

June 4 - Noemi Dominguez, a Houston, Texas schoolteacher, is murdered by Angel Maturino Resendiz. She was his sixth victim in his fifth incident.
June 4 - Josephine Konvicka was murdered in a barn in Fayette County, Texas by Angel Maturino Resendiz. The barn is very close to Weimar, where Norman J. Sirnic and Karen Sirnic were murdered by the same serial killer. Josephine was his seventh victim in his sixth incident.
June 15 - George Morber Senior and his grown daughter Carolyn Frederick are murdered in Gorham, Illinois by Angel Maturino Resendiz. They were his eighth and ninth victims in his seventh and final incident.

disambiguation

Why is there no disambiguation page for this? I was looking for 1999, the Japanese Nintendo game, but 1999 the Prince song is also a legitimate contender. WTF? --67.42.33.65 07:27, 23 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

*October 31 - Nerf Arena Blast is released by Atari, Inc. and Visionary Media, Inc.

Why is that one on the list? The page for the game doesn't seem to warrant too much importance.

"MCMXCIX"

Isn't 1999 IMM (1 before 1000+1000) not MCMXCIX? I always thought it was. Just curious. 4myself4 (Come see my guestbook) 01:49, 24 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think it should be MIM, in analogy with XIX (twenty). LarRan 13:07, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Euro

On this page on January 1 it says the Euro was introduced. It also says the exact same thing on the year 2000. Im not sure which is correct so can somebody please clear this up?--WickedWitchoftheWest 10:20, 06 March 2007 (UTC)
