The 1973 article lists this: "January 17 - Ferdinand Marcos becomes President for Life of the Philippines." however I can find no supporting information about this in the Marcos article. Are we sure this is factually correct? Flydaddyfred 22:55, 21 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
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 14:00, 7 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
This sentence is ambiguous: "November 7 - The Congress of the United States overrides President Richard M. Nixon's veto of the War Powers Resolution, which limits presidential power to wage war without congressional approval." Did the override limit presidential power or did the War Powers Resolution limit it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.217.83.254 (talk) 03:23, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
David Harvey, Fredric Jameson, and others give 1973 as the year of transition to the current cultural, social, and economic order, including post-Fordism or the regime of flexible accumulation, postmodernity, and postmodernism. Would it be appropriate to include this in the article? Jordansc (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 03:47, 28 July 2009 (UTC).[reply]

There are nine images here. Please list them all and make it clear what is being replaced with what. Deb (talk) 14:29, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You've got it wrong. There are only eight images here.And why I chose these three plane crashes, the reasons are as follows : Libyan Arab Airlines Flight 114,This crash was part of the Arab-Israeli conflict,resulting in 108 deaths ; Kano air disaster, This crash was the deadliest in terms of fatalities that year ; Varig Flight 820,This crash was an accident where a Brazilian flight crashed in France, resulting in 123 deaths, including 4 famous passengers,and this aircraft accident was the second deadliest in terms of fatalities in this year.

Okay. One deadly air crash will be enough - please try and find something more representative or reduce the number of images. What is the double-size image supposed to represent? It just looks like a vey old petrol pump in the US. Deb (talk) 09:07, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The words written on the petrol pump clearly indicate a complaint from American Christians about the lack of oil during the oil crisis, and this image has also been used in 1970s collage. Of course, if you feel that the indicative nature of this image is not strong enough, I also selected these three images for your review. Nagae Iku (talk) 13:54, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
These all suggest a shortage of petrol in the US but not the reasons for it. Deb (talk) 08:14, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The cause of the oil crisis was the collective retaliation by Arab countries against the United States and its Western allies for their significant military assistance to Israel during the Yom Kippur War. And it was not just a gasoline shortage in the United States, but the majority of Western countries experienced an energy shortage as well. However, there are no more direct images available than those few American images to depict the situation vividly. Nagae Iku (talk) 20:10, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think it works. Deb (talk) 18:08, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I suspect that you don't care about the selection of images and events at all. You simply don't want collages to exist. 😅 Nagae Iku (talk) 09:02, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Bingo, that is the whole point of this endless discussion. Dimadick (talk) 18:27, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
