Unix time 2038 problem
editI'm curious why references to Year 2038 problem keep getting deleted? It's not like it's a huge deal but it's not speculative, it's a very definite event that can be foreseen down the second. 66.76.14.59 (talk) 17:00, 24 February 2022 (UTC)
- I agree. The item listed under the year 2036 is a related problem, but not the same. The Unix rollover in 2038 should remain as an entry. Aquova (talk) 01:21, 23 March 2022 (UTC)
March 11, 2030 marking ten years of the pandemic
editAn earlier edit of mine was removed because in other diseases we don’t mark “anniversaries”. This isn’t an anniversary as this is an ongoing pandemic; it is on this date when (assuming the pandemic is still active as it most likely will be) we will have been in the pandemic for ten years. We mark on Wikipedia when significant situations have continued for prolonged periods of time (for example, the reign of Queen Elizabeth II having continued for seventy years on February 6, 2022). I’m open to discussion. Thank you!

- We should not record anniversaries here at all. HiLo48 (talk) 22:00, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
Pages on the years of the 2030s
editWhen should the pages for 2030, 2031, 2032, etc finally stop being redirects to this page? I would have to be 2029 at least because by then 2030 would be next year. BirchTainer (talk) 07:01, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
- Individual years for the 2030s should start rolling out by 2026, I'd say. Qwertipedian (talk) 20:31, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
"will" to "expected to" or "planned to"
editWould it not make sense to change this specific type of phrasing on this article? WP:CRYSTALBALL applies here. -1ctinus📝🗨 21:36, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
Importance of periodic scheduled sports events?
editUnless more details are specified (like the location where it would be held), we shouldn't be adding things like "the 2036 Summer Olympics will be held" because those are events that follow a schedule where years like 2024, 2028, 2032, and 2036 (leap years) are Summer Olympics and years like 2022, 2026, 2030 are Winter Olympics. Since the locations of these are not specified among other voided details (mostly because they're so far in the future), we should not have them. If we keep them, we might as well have Olympics and World Cup events all the way up to the end of the 21st century. Another problem is that it says "Summer Olympics WILL happen". I believe another topic states this but sports events (among other types of occasions) can be postponed and cancelled. They should say "expected to happen". But again, we should only include those types of events up until we don't know anything about the details. Qwertipedian (talk) 20:36, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
