Year in topic
editI think the page layout for "year in topic" in some places where it is flagged in the box as on this page 1921, 1922 is better. I seek opinions before making them all the same.
In the case of this page it would also mean deleting some of the creeping duplication under topic BozMo(talk)

The statement that "The Great Mississippi Flood ... [was] the greatest national disaster in US history" needs qualification or revision. This assertion isn't made in the article, and other disasters have caused more deaths and monetary damage. Especially if we're calling it a "national" as opposed to "natural" disaster.

Pope Benedict XVI's birth
editI've changed it, to match the other Papal births, listed at the other YEAR articles. GoodDay (talk) 14:52, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
Name of Great Britain
editThe entry for April 12th says: "The Royal and Parliamentary Titles Act 1927 renames the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The change acknowledges that the Irish Free State is no longer part of the Kingdom."
The entry for May 13th says: "George V proclaims the change of his title from King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland to King of Great Britain and Ireland."
As a result, the country is a united kingdom consisting of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The monarch however is king of Great Britain and (apparantly) all of Ireland, merely dropping the term 'united kingdom'. Wouldn't it be expected that the countries name and the royal style would follow each other more closer than this? 193.176.235.94 (talk) 11:01, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
No flu epidemic in 1927
editHiya, I have removed the flu epidemic line as it was 1918-1919 NOT 1927 http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/british/timeline/worldwars_timeline_noflash.shtml Veryscarymary (talk) 19:16, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
- It seems that there was an influenza epidemic in Britain in 1927; see, for example, these contemporary news reports, the third of which confirms the figure of a thousand deaths per week. Brunton (talk) 08:50, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
