[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).

[edit] Demetrius Armstrong

Until somebody can prove his notability — say, with an article that survives VfD — I am removing all references to Mr. Armstrong's birth on sight. Please prove that he belongs here. - jredmond 20:36, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

I'm starting to get sick of this. Is there any way to protect part of a page without doing the whole thing? --Apyule 07:48, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

Same here. After reverting once again I've left {subst:test3} on User:205.188.116.11's talk page. If this continues he'll just have to be blocked I guess, he's been warned many times already. --TheMidnighters 08:42, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

The problem with that is that it's an AOL IP, which makes things difficult. --Apyule 16:40, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wheel of Fortune

Wheel of Fortune links to the disambiguation page. I'm not sure which article the link should link to, so someone else needs to change the link. -- VGF11 01:00, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Table of Contents
