Talk:2019

Is this right?
The article is saying that 1923 media will enter the public domain in 2019, contradicting the fact that it must be at least 95 years old to be in the public domain. It implies that the actual number of years is 96, not 95. What am I confusing?? Georgia guy (talk) 00:51, 3 August 2014 (UTC)
 * this is very late, but see Public Domain Day. In short, once something has been published for 95 years, it enters the PD at the end of that calendar year. House Blaster  (talk · he/him) 02:13, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

2019 being described as a best year in human history.
For a reason, most of the news media outlets describe 2019 as a "best year in human history." But there are other good years described and nominated by other media outlets such as 2015, 1994, 2007, and especially 1980. Can anyone please explain why those editors add it as the best year in history in one article, while adding the year 2020 as the worst for anyone to be alive. I think that there is a need for a consensus to be established. Give me examples. 204.129.232.191 (talk) 16:44, 9 January 2023 (UTC)


 * I would support its removal here and anywhere else it appears. Deb (talk) 17:23, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
 * @Deb But why would you support its removal even though it can be added in other years with very reliable sources? Explain? 204.129.232.191 (talk) 18:00, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
 * To me, it's still someone's opinion, and newspapers aren't qualified to judge on a completely subjective issue like this. Deb (talk) 18:13, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Because 2019 is the last year before the pandemic hit. Many people feel nostalgic about it now.213.230.87.65 (talk) 02:08, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
 * 'Most' of the news media outlets? Can you name even one? Bkatcher (talk) 03:17, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
 * You know that this type of statement still remains on this article as of 2024, and newspapers are still regarded as reliable sources no matter what. -“ Userbase3913 ” (talk) 01:37, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

 * August 18 – "Miloš the Great" Highway, a section of Corridor XI (or A2 motorway; part of the E761 and E763 European routes) from Obrenovac to Preljina, is opened.

This one comes with a source cited. — 2600:1010:B1A7:5CE1:F888:A176:26F6:1B94 (talk) 16:57, 20 February 2023 (UTC)


 * It does not sound like it's of great international significance. I'm pleased to see you've already added it to 2019 in Serbia but I'd suggest there's no justification for putting it here as well, with identical wording. Deb (talk) 19:57, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

Collage depreciation
At Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Years, a discussion on whether to depreciate collages in general in going on. Please share your thoughts.--Marginataen (talk) 21:38, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

Date format
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) 16:11, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
