Talk:2028

African Union
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)

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 (talk • contribs) 22:51, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

Date format
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)


 * 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. 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)
