years page layout

I have made some year layout proposals which would affect a significant proportion of the year pages: an example of proposed style is 1850. It is detailed on my talk page. However pre 1800 the change is largely cosmetic.

If no-one flags where I have put the discussion on my talk page that they object in a month I will start making everything consistent. It may take some time... --(talk)BozMo 16:37, 11 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

All the Tuscarora stuff should be moved to the appropriate article, it messes up the chronology with minutia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mumroos (talk • contribs) 19:02, 23 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

February 30

The dates here are supposed to be the Gregorian dates. Therefore, there shouldn't be February the 30th. It should be March the 11th, I think.93.172.177.45 (talk) 22:14, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Steam Engine

The current wording is, I think, borderline, and smacks of "Western" bias. The Aeolipile produced mechanical work 17 centuries earlier. It was a practical device in the sense that it could be (and was) actually constructed. Newcomen was the first to apply steam power in an industrial context. I'm struggling for a suitably brief and clear way to express that. Almonaster (talk) 23:15, 17 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind - words found, fix applied. Reasoning as above. Almonaster (talk) 23:21, 17 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
