Talk:12th century

Alphabetical Order
Does anyone object to or is there a Wikipedia policy against my arranging the names in the People section so that they are easier to locate? 76.123.208.229 (talk) 20:35, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
 * It seems to me that (approximate) chronological order would be better than alphabetical. — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 14:04, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

I was thinking in terms of ease in locating a given name before deciding to add it oneself. A chronological order would not solve this problem as one would still have to search through the whole list to find a given name. And dates would have to be added to all the entries. What date? Birthdate would be logical, but what if this date is not known? 76.123.208.229 (talk) 14:46, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

12/12/1212
This is not a significant historical event and I believe it should be deleted. Caeruleancentaur (talk) 07:28, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Anniversaries of deaths.
I don't think the anniversaries of deaths should be included, e.g., David the Builder. If we include him, we'd have to include the deaths of all the important people and the list would become unwieldy. Those who want to know the date of death can check under the person's own article.

Dates of reigns
Likewise, with the dates of monarch's reigns. If we included those dates of every monarch in the twelfth century, the list would quickly become unwieldy. Again, those interested can check under the monarch's article. Caeruleancentaur (talk) 16:19, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

Vladislav II ?

 * 1158: Duke Vladislav II is rewarded with an hereditary crown by Frederick Barbarossa for his aid against the Italian cities.

I removed this entry. The link takes one to Vladislav II of Wallachia who ruled in the 15th century! There is no information about this event in the article on Frederick Barbarossa. Perhaps the person who made the original entry can check the details and restore the entry with correct references. Caeruleancentaur (talk) 17:49, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

Al-Adid deposed in 1171?
The following is from the article on Al-Adid:

"When Al-Adid died of natural causes in 1171, the Fatimid dynasty ended to make way for the Ayyubids (1171-1260), a dynasty named for Saladin's father Ayyub (Job)."

That doesn't sound exactly like Al-Adid was deposed. More like Saladin waited for him to die, then took over. Perhaps someone can clear this up. 70.161.208.216 (talk) 06:29, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

David and Baldwin
I have removed the reference to a meeting in 1119 between David and Baldwin as there does not seem to be any historical importance to the meeting. Caeruleancentaur (talk) 19:17, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
