2011 death section pictures

I just cropped the death pictures and put them in the size of the newer main year articles. with that said, I would like to say that there's a lot of room for pictures. and there's also two people here which I'm not sure if should get pictures at all (which are Jack Layton, and Sultan bin Abdulaziz Al Saud) do they both deserve pictures or do they not, I really want to hear TheScrubby, Jim Michael, and TDKR Chicago 101 opinion on this. 4me689 (talk) 04:12, 7 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Neither of them are important enough to have pictures, which should be of the most important people who died during each month. They should usually be from different fields, for example: a politician, a sportsperson, a scientist & an entertainer. Jim Michael 2 (talk) 10:02, 7 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Collage

I have commented out the collage, which contains duplication (Libyan protests and the Arab Spring) and has two US-centred entries. If we must have a collage, we can do a lot better. Please discuss before including. Deb (talk) 13:13, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@The ganymedian:, @Deb:, and @Jim Michael 2:

maybe we should replace the overthrow of Muammar Khadafi with the Syrian Civil War, also we should think of something else to replace the Occupy Wall Street movement. any thoughts???? 4me689 (talk) 18:27, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The First Libyan Civil War, the Syrian civil war & the 2011 Thailand floods should be added. Minecraft & the Occupy movement should be removed. Jim Michael 2 (talk) 20:02, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure why Occupy is up for removal... also why is it a big deal if 2/8 pictures are from the US? That country is probably the main player in world politics, and a lot of things that happen there define the years and spread to other countries... The ganymedian (talk) 20:27, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Occupy spread to many countries, but it's not important enough to include due to it not having major effects. Jim Michael 2 (talk) 20:36, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

i think you should add STS-135 to the collage Gennicyro4 (talk) 01:33, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Date format

Discussion started by blocked sock 33ABGirl (talk) 05:01, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.

I would also like to suggest changing the date format of this article to the DMY format (e.g. 6 June 2020 as opposed to June 6, 2020). The DMY format seems more international and more suitable for a "global" article like. Also DMY simply makes more sense as it goes from smallest to highest.

At the village pump, I've presented a proposal to establish a standard to use DMY in general for all articles about "generic" years. The discussion got kind of messy however, and I'll propaly restart it at some point. In the meantime, I would like it to create consensus about changing it for specifically this and all other nine articles about the 2010s--Marginataen (talk) 16:14, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
