Talk:1995

Picture of Dua Lipa
Ok a few weeks i added Dua Lipa on the Births list.

I added a picture that was also on her own page here the page that she was written about her. Now that picture here is GONE. WHY?. I did it in the same way others had and it looked fine so why did it get removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.206.155.74 (talk) 17:45, 2 December 2016 (UTC) Ok I have an account now and I tried I again but now it looked a mess in fact it did not show I wish you had left me alone cause that authorization thing as said is nonsense the Wiki is full of unauthorized stuff cause otherwise there would be almost no pictures here.That page that showed me how to do it correctly just gave me a headache I bet it can be explained better

2004 page layout years
There is a discussion on my talk page on page layout.

For most of the last three hundred years there is inconsistency and duplication between the year in topic paragraph, the "see also" box and what is on the year by topic pages. Prior to 1950 I am pretty convinced we can painlessly (except for sore fingers) delete all of the year in topic paragraphs and ensure that the material goes into a "see also" box, creating such a box where none exists. Post 1950, particularly from the "year in US television" link a lot of material has been added to this paragraph as highlights (sometimes making up most of the page content pointed at).

Personally I think we should still delete the paragraph, keep the box linking to the topic sites and move any particularly important parts of the year in topic paragraph to the main chronological list. This does involve undoing quite a bit of work which someone has done.

Therefore, unlike for prior to 1950 (where I've said no objection= I do it) for post 1950 I won't touch these pages unless a significant number of people agree with the change. (I am also unlikely to get the pre 1950 stuff done before summer unless the service speed improves dramatically). talk--BozMo 13:41, 7 May 2004 (UTC)

Earthquake
I removed a reference to the Nov 22 Earthquake being possibly thought of as "Divine" anger at some EU-Israel treaty. I think if this is true then the event should have its own page and a discussion of what happened, along with external references. I'm fairly certain that this page is meant only as a summary rather than a detailed examination of the subject. One Salient Oversight 04:26, 21 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Children of notable people
There has been a bit of discussion on Talk:2005, having notable parents does not make someone's birth inherently notable. I hadn't the heart to delete Dolly the sheep though. PatGallacher 11:28, 2005 May 30 (UTC)

March 16 of wrong century?
"March 16 – Mississippi ratifies the Thirteenth Amendment, becoming the last state to approve the abolition of slavery. The amendment was nationally ratified in 1865." Has this been posted in the wrong year? Thaumaturgus (talk) 21:00, 10 September 2009 (UTC)Thaum

No "Births" section?
I don't know because I didn't go through the article; is there really no section for notable births, or are they mixed in with the events? 24.191.87.42 (talk) 00:25, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
 * There is a births section below the events section. Keith D (talk) 19:32, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Adding month section to the page
How could someone add a month by month section to the 1994 and 1995 pages the same way they are added to 1996 or beyond pages? Can someone tell us how? 184.215.237.248 (talk) 18:58, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Selena
I can understand the desire to have an image of Selena in deaths, but the tribute drawing is clearly inappropriate. There is an (almost) realistic drawing, the grave, or the statue which could be added. I'd go with the statue, as en.Wikipedia recognizes "freedom of panorama". If I don't hear anything, I'll add it a day or so if this clearly inappropriate image stays off. Added more realistic drawing, although the memorial statue is probably a better choice. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 15:53, 28 December 2017 (UTC)

Seems to have only one significant role...nominating for deletion, but possibly not significant enough for this article, even if kept. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 19:26, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

PlayStation
just added the release of the Sony PlayStation in September 1995, but that console was first released in Japan in December 1994. I agree it's a significant event, but it should be moved to the previous year. — JFG talk 20:49, 19 August 2019 (UTC)


 * IIRC, the only significant console release of '95 was the Virtual Boy. Sega Saturn debuted in November '94, and the N64 wasn't released until June 1996. Technically the Game Boy Pocket and Nomad would also be listed, but those were simply variations of existing consoles. MightyArms (talk) 23:25, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

Kray
I'm not sure Ronald Kray is sufficiently important on his own to be here. He doesn't have an article of his own, but only with his brother. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 14:27, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

Importance tags
Shameik Moore and Megan Thee Stallion are both given importance? tags next to their names. I'm almost certain that they're of relevant importance as neither of their articles are stubs and both of them have a reasonable amount of notoriety. Especially the latter. — Preceding unsigned comment added by De132Wiki (talk • contribs) 23:20, February 8, 2020 (UTC)
 * , It's not the significance of the articles, it's the significance of the subjects. That is not demonstrated. — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 15:22, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
 * , which is why I mentioned that both of them have a reasonable amount of notoriety. It is demonstrated. — De132Wiki  (talk) 15:44, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

Windows 95 or the Million Man March?
there's been an argument on User_talk:4me689/collage_discussions, for the inclusion of the release of Windows 95 on the collage and on the article, so I'm here to just settle the argument, I am going to make a vote section, Choose Wisely just be minded this was over 20 years ago. I want to hear the other regulars, , , and and also the newbies , and. just sign under the choice.  4me689  (talk) 00:25, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * You don't get to choose between two options that you selected yourself. All the images are subject to discussion. Deb (talk) 15:24, 12 October 2022 (UTC)

Yes

 * 1) Absolutely yes. It was a major inflection point for personal computing, and paved the way towards the modern PC ecosystem and Internet we enjoy today. Why shouldn't software be included? It's a technology, an invention, just like thousands of others throughout history. I'm old enough to remember 1995 and everyone was talking about Windows 95 back then. I can't even remember the Million Man March. Wjfox2005 (talk) 07:24, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

No

 * 1) Software shouldn't be included in main year articles, let alone in collages. Jim Michael 2 (talk) 06:09, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) Definitely not. It would be different if it was the first version of Windows, but we've had so many releases since then. Deb (talk) 15:24, 12 October 2022 (UTC)

Something else

 * 1) American Airlines Flight 965, the crash of an international passenger flight, causing a triple-digit death toll. The Million Man March was a domestic event for 1995 in the United States; it shouldn't be in this article or its collage. Jim Michael 2 (talk) 06:09, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 2) Agreed. Deb (talk) 15:24, 12 October 2022 (UTC)

Also to be removed
We don't need the Unabomber manifesto AND the Oklahoma City bombing - these are both US domestic events. If we have to have one, then Oklahoma City. The Unabomber was little known outside the US. Deb (talk) 15:27, 12 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Definitely Oklahoma City that caused a lot of laws to be changed.
 * Pinging and  for opinions  4me689  (talk) 16:52, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Agreed.Maybe it can be replaced to the Sampoong Department Store collapse or establishment of the World Trade Organization. Nagae Iku (talk) 19:04, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

Jeanne Calment?
"October 17 – French woman Jeanne Calment reaches the confirmed age of 120 years and 238 days, making her the oldest person ever recorded." - Calment is the only person to ever have exceeded 120 years, and according to the List of the verified oldest people she obtained the record of oldest person ever already 4 years earlier when she surpassed Tane Ikai, the current #16. I guess this line is a hoax and deserves to be removed? --KnightMove (talk) 07:15, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
 * At the time, Shigechiyo Izumi was regarded as a confirmed 120-year-old, but that has since been called into serious question. DefThree (talk) 13:11, 10 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Ok, thank you. Then I am, in principal, willing to insert it again with more comment. But two problems persist: Our article Shigechiyo Izumi assumes August 20, 1865 as the reported birth date. But the calculation with 120 years and 238 days uses June 29, 1865, as is entered in the French Wikipedia, fr:Shigechiyo Izumi. Currently it is unclear which date the Guinness World Records believed to be true. If it is the June 29, this must be corrected and explained in the biography article. And even then it remains to be proven that citable sources have regarded that October 17, 1995, as remarkable for that reason. --KnightMove (talk) 06:28, 11 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Double ok, sources are not hard to find. I will get an overview and restore the passage soonish. --KnightMove (talk) 07:27, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

exoplanet
Maybe the most significant event of the year was the first confirmed exoplanet's be announced (i.e., loosely, the first discovered exoplanet). Why is this only in a sidebar? 2600:6C67:1C00:5F7E:A01E:211F:1B2A:B603 (talk) 19:31, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

Lead
Please replace the image of the Murrah building, this image is cropped and does not show the entirety of the facade. DementiaGaming (talk) 00:20, 22 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Perhaps these two images can be used:
 * [[File:Murrah Building - Aerial.jpg]]
 * [[File:Murrah overall.jpg]]
 * Additionally, I would like to move the Oklahoma bombing to the sidebar, as there was another important war that primarily took place in 1995, which was the First Chechen War. This war resulted in the deaths of 30,000-130,000 civilians, several times more than the Srebrenica massacre. I believe it deserves a central place in the collage.
