[edit] More needed
The years project does not NEARLY capture the whole cultural impact of this year - it was the end of an era. Something more has to be said here.
==Much too much American Tivia~~
Rose Bowl? Northern ireland fair enough (look what happened!) but who gives a damn about minor American Trivia in this year. That belongs on a specialist US page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.147.14.39 (talk) 17:06, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] 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).

Somebody wrote that Micky Mantle announced his retirement "while eating a bag of poop." I've removed this until it has been confirmed. -Tom
February 1969 is linking to Larry-the-Cable-Guy, where it lists "Larry's" birth year as 1963 . Someone may want to correct that.
[edit] Monty Python's Flying Circus
According to this page, Monty Python's Flying Circus originally aired October 5th. But according to this page, it originally aired September 7. Which one is real? --71.224.19.29 15:58, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Getback roof.jpg
Image:Getback roof.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
