You are correct. When I last updated this page, I went back only to the 1990's. I have the information on the 1988 eclipse, if I ever get around to adding more. (I'm not sure how far back we want to go, as the list could get awfully long). It's also at NASA's website, listed in the External Links. --Spiffy sperry 16:47, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Scotland

Didn't a solar eclipse happen in Northern Scotland? I remember seeing one around the 1990's. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.62.178.53 (talk) 00:58, 17 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Internal Links

Why are there internal links to some countries/locations and not to others? It may not be appropriate to have internal links attached to any of these location names, but I care less that than I do about the general issue of consistency: I really think that either (1) all country or location names should have internal links, or (2) no country or location names should have internal links. It's strange to have internal links to some locations and not others. Also, is it really appropriate that all of the dates and years be internal links? Maybe someone can refer me to the Wikipedia authoring guidelines on this issue of internal links; I'm a little confused as to when it is appropriate to use an internal link and when it is not. But I do believe there should be consistency, and that seems to be lacking in this article. Jmjanzen (talk) 15:51, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
