African Union

[edit]

Isn' the African Union suppossed to be a fully integrated supranationaly government by this year? I know its just a projection/goal/deadline but surely thats more credible than what a futurist predicts about of energy situation. 98.28.114.217 (talk) 03:00, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure, but i removed the clean energy part. It seems highly unlikely, due to today's 'let other people deal with it' mentality. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ElectrifiedSpork (talkcontribs) 22:51, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

See WT:YEARS#Eclipses for a matter relevant to this page. Arthur Rubin (alternate) (talk) 23:08, 26 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Date format

[edit]

I would 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 2028 specifically as well as all other nine articles about the 2020s to the DMY format.--Marginataen (talk) 08:43, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm pasting the same reply at all the 2020s talk page sections on this topic, with the exception of 2023. As of about a month ago, we had a situation in which all generic year articles had a consistent date format. Since both date styles are considered appropriate per the Manual of Style, it's unusual to see such solid consistency. Since I value consistency, I appreciated that rare situation.
As of last month, only 2023 was changed via local consensus to be different than the rest. If this proposal passes for this article, it would join a tiny minority of articles that do not match the overall consistent style. I oppose for that reason.
I would be fine with all generic year articles changing to consistently use a different style, and that is the proposal on the table at WP:VPR#Date format for year articles. Currently, it seems we're at the tail end of a pre-RfC discussion with plans to move forward with an RfC in the next week or so. I would much prefer to keep discussing the overarching change rather than have individual discussions at each year article. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 13:08, 5 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
