Talk:2257

2257
Why does the year 2257 redirect to the usa laws on the matter? with that the "globalize" tag must go on because the year doesn't simply concern american laws on the matter. There doesnt seem to be any discussion for this so I have been WP:Bold to redirect it back to the year as per other years.Lihaas (talk) 04:13, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Although it's a US law, it effects porn worldwide. And, as we all know, the Internet is for porn.
 * The most common use of "2257" probably is referring to the US law.
 * As an aside, you would need to put a hat note on 23rd century; perhaps.

 * 4 minutes doesnt constitute a consensus.
 * At any rate, a us law does NOT have global authority, the article only cites american usage so to say it has any global authority (how a us law is enforced outside its jurisdiction i dont understand) is synthesis. Need a source/affirmation to confirm you 2nd addition, but we can go ahead with your note on 23rd century.
 * Are there any laws that stick to its number/"year" as popularity. 420 perhaps? (although the same case works there when 420 is just as clearly the legal reference)Lihaas (talk) 20:33, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
 * The first point is an argument against your position.
 * Although the US law doesn't have "global authority", it is followed by most porn merchants, as they could otherwise get in trouble if their images are distributed in the US, with or without their knowledge, and they have any assets (or physical presence) in the US.
 * You may be right about 420, but 420 (drug culture) is probably even more notable. — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 20:44, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
 * not really, how though?
 * That is WP:Synthesis especially considered none of it has been cited on the page
 * the 420 page seems a good accomodation on this. Prominent display of the alternative meaning (even September 11 has that).(Lihaas (talk) 06:11, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
