2004 page layout years

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 at).

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). talk--BozMo 13:49, 7 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

Days of week

Are the days of the week really necessary? And why do we have to repeat that we're talking about 1985 on every line? This is the 1985 article. I think it's obvious that the dates given are from 1985.

Superbowl

Should the Superbowl be included for this year? Centralized discussion at WT:YEARS#Superbowls — Arthur Rubin (talk) 17:10, 7 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Last homicide of the Monster of Florence

On September 9th the last murder of the Monster of Florence were discovered. Two french lovers were killed. This was the last crime in the series of this infamous killer. Don't know if this fact should be included since I'm italian (from Florence in fact) and obviously for me this case is, even today, quite impressed in memory. Don't know well if this fact had internetional resonance as in Italy and France. Good day to everyone. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.12.133.232 (talk) 06:05, 21 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Collage

If people are in favor of a photo collage as seen from '87-2022, I would like to hear some consensus on thoughts about what images should be included in it. Thanks The ganymedian (talk) 22:31, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Rome airport 1985.jpg

I don't know why you're removing this. I know it's copyrighted, it's serving a good purpose, can we keep this image in this article for the time being until we get a image collage. if not, please replace it. 4me689 (talk) 04:48, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Should the article have an image collage? If so, is the current image appropriate?

@DementiaGaming, Alalch E., and Setarip: Starting a local discussion here to prevent an edit war. Keep the status quo (no collage) and discuss it here. 🌺 Cremastra (talk) 14:57, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

literally every single other year has a collage, why shouldnt 1985? Setarip (talk) 15:33, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, see the discussion in the RfC at WT:YEARS. It's a controversial topic. 🌺 Cremastra (talk) 15:34, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I proposed a process to get a community consensus for collage images in a yearly article. You can see it here: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Years#Proposal for a standardized process for yearly collage images. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 15:46, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
