- January 8 - President of the United States George Bush becomes ill on a visit in Japan and vomits on the Japanese Prime Minister Miyazawa Kiichi.
Should this event really be stated here? It may sound funny, but it appears to be somewhat inadequate for a list of main events of 1992. Your opinions? -- Cordyph

Page layout years
[edit]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 13:43, 7 May 2004 (UTC)

[edit]Added the Khojaly massacre on February 25 - February 26 to this article. Information from: http://www.khojaly.org/ http://www.come.to/khojaly http://www.travel-images.com/az-xocali.html
Where are the births?
[edit]The births of 1992 are missing..............
- Thanks for pointing that out, I've brought them back from an older version. --TM 21:49, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

- Done, but you don't have to ask on the talk page, in the future just take care of it youself. --Daniel J. Leivick 23:51, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

The format of this article is different than all the other years
[edit]Individual years that have multiple events are bulleted rather than repeating the date.
What I mean is instead of having events done like this:
March 26 - event
March 26 - another event
It is done
March 26
-event
-another event
This may seem minor, but I have gone through all the years from 1950 and it looks a whole lot different. I think the format should be consistent throughout all the years.

Calendars are wrong have been fixed
[edit]The Calendars shown beside each month are wrong starting with February. 1992 is a leap year but here February does not have 29 days, skewing the rest of the calendar.98.27.14.177 (talk) 00:40, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Phones ringing off the hook
[edit]October 3 – After performing a song protesting alleged child abuse by the Catholic Church, Sinéad O'Connor rips up a photo of Pope John Paul II on Saturday Night Live, causing huge controversy, leading the switchboards at NBC to ring off the hook.

Alternate ways to spell 1992
[edit]There are several ways for spelling 1992. One is MCMXCII. Another kind of way of spelling 1992 is MCMLXXXXII.

December 19: original research?
[edit]Under the entry for Dec 19, it says unfounded suspicion. After reading the article linked as a reference, Im not sure the unfounded part is appropriate. Any thoughts? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gamekeeper7 (talk • contribs) 23:51, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
- Good call. I've removed the word "unfounded". Cheers, -- Irn (talk) 00:00, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
Dan Quayle "potatoe" incident
[edit]BroadwayWest insists on including Dan Quayle correcting the spelling of the word "potato" as a significant event, arguing ""Small" events reveal as much about our culture as large. The "potatoe" incident received global attn, and highlighted cultural divns in the USA that prevail.
" I'm not sure what these cultural divisions are that you speak of, but as it stands in the article, the event does not mention them and is completely unsourced. Further, I don't see how these cultural divisions make the event relevant on an international scale - that is why does this belong in the 1992 article and not just the 1992 in the United States article? -- Irn (talk) 01:36, 24 September 2016 (UTC)

I don't know why this person has a Wikipedia article. Even if he deserves an article, I don't think he meets the slightly higher requirements for inclusion here. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 18:14, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
1992 presidential election
[edit]There are entirely too many events in regard the 1992 presidential election in the US. Included are entry and exit of major (and some minor) candidates, the first (New Hampshire) primary, when Clinton was predicted to win the nomination (remember, these are the same pundits who predicted (a different) Clinton to win the 2016 election), all three "presidential" debates, etc. Not all of these are (or should be) in even 1992 in the United States. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 00:12, 17 March 2018 (UTC)

Mac Miller image
[edit]I see no reason why Mac Miller's image should not appear in 1992#Births. The argument that it should not appear unless it appears in 2018#Deaths seems an example of WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS.

Way too many Americans
[edit]I'm wondering why recent contributors to this article think they are doing Wikipedia a service by adding more and more Americans to the Births and Deaths sections. Deb (talk) 18:56, 9 June 2019 (UTC)
See WT:YEARS#Eclipses for a matter relevant to this page. Arthur Rubin (alternate) (talk) 23:09, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
Why does he deserve an image in the Births section? Doesn't seem that significant an actor. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 07:42, 28 June 2019 (UTC)
Recent edits
[edit]There are four edits by Maxen Embry which I consider disputed.
- Removal of the image of Avan Jogia
- Addition of the image of Camille Kostek
- Removal of the entry for Paulina Gaitán
- Addition of the entry for Camille Kostek
#1 might be required by #2, and #2 requires #4, but there is no justification for #3. I consider #4 questionable, and #2 very questionable, as Camille's only notability seems to be being on the cover of a Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. Adding importance tags, for the moment. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 07:08, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
Also, see #Way too many Americans above. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 07:19, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
- Kostek not only gets more pageviews than Gaitan (https://tools.wmflabs.org/pageviews/?project=en.wikipedia.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&range=latest-90&pages=Paulina_Gait%C3%A1n%7CCamille_Kostek), her page is also more developed (C-class) compared to Gaitan's stub. Kostek is also on the cover of the iconic Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, and first ever winner of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Model Search. Gaitan on the other hand is a bit part actress who starred in a web TV series in Mexico-- prime candidate for the importance tag.
- If your issue is ~another American, try getting a notable non-American for the month. Don't shoe-horn someone just because she's from outside the US. You even raised the same point in out discussion in your talk page. SMH. Maxen Embry (talk) 07:25, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
- Pageviews are usually considered, and in my opinion, should be considered irrelevant. Development of the page is irrelevant, although some have argued it should be relevant. And I disagree with you that the Sports Illustrated traits are adequate for article notability, not to mention the higher requirements for listing in a year article and the significantly higher requirements for having an image in a year article.
- If you want to consider this an impasse, I'm willing to go to WP:3O. It doesn't seem likely that my opinion will change, although it's possible some references not yet in the article would lead me to consider her sufficiently notable. However, I'm not going to fight about it. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 07:34, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
- I should add that invisible comments are considered disruptive per se if disputed, unless consensus is established. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 07:45, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
- Miss World 2010 seems an even better choice for an image; replaced Camille's image with hers. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 19:58, 31 July 2019 (UTC)

- @Arthur Rubin: You are increasingly showing signs of ownership on this article, especially on your last revert citing unidentified "violation of guidelines" and "errors" just so you can revert the article to the version you wanted it to. Maxen Embry (talk) 08:30, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
- @Maxen Embry: My preferred version is still with Camille out entirely. However, there is strong consensus that invisible comments should be removed if challenged, unless consensus is established. There seems to be a general consensus that tags should not be removed while under discussion for the first time. Those are the guidelines you are rejecting. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 09:20, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
- @Arthur Rubin: Then you should accelerate the process by soliciting third opinion on the discussion you started to remove a tag you put there in the first place. I have made my case, but you seem to disregard it and introduce an American has-been beauty queen for some reason just to, yet again, disregard Kostek's listing. Also, refer to Culpo's article for her label/profession, you can't just revert it because you feel that "this is just wrong". This has been extremely cumbersome because unfortunately an editor looks to have taken residence and ownership on a particular page. I'm done.Maxen Embry (talk) 09:39, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
- @Maxen Embry: I've contradicted all your additions, and I've been dinged for putting in invisible comments for which I thought there was consensus. As for "fashion influencer", the sources we have only have her word for it. If it were in a reliable source, it might be appropriate. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 19:09, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
- @Maxen Embry: As you keep making different changes which I consider absurd or unjustified, there's no place for WP:3O to start. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 19:11, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
- @Arthur Rubin: "Absurd..." to you. "Unjustified..." to you. If you think I'm wrong that you're being irrational because you have taken ownership of the page, then start a WP:3O.Maxen Embry (talk) 19:53, 3 August 2019 (UTC)

@Maxen Embry: You wrote: "If your issue is ~another American, try getting a notable non-American for the month. Don't shoe-horn someone just because she's from outside the US." Shoe-horn, no, but there is a case for positive action to address the problem of systemic bias. Deb (talk) 13:01, 2 August 2019 (UTC)
- @Deb: I am very much into affirmative action but that is not even my point. I was just throwing back what Arthur has said to me in his talk page about his dislike of me putting an image of a female to break the consecutive male images for the month for the sake of diversity. Also, affirmative action should not override notability, and again, Gaitan's credits offers very little compared to Kostek's. If he were to identify a non-American who was born on Februar and who is more notable than any individual already listed, it would be very welcome. Maxen Embry (talk) 13:20, 2 August 2019 (UTC)
February birth listings
[edit]There are disagreements as to three points (I believe the others have been resolved):
- Should Paulina Gaitán be listed under February 19 births? (That is, does she have international notability?)
- Should Camille Kostek be listed under February 19 births? (That is, does she have international notability?)
- If point 2 is yes, which of Camille Kostek and Alexandria Mills have an image listed. (Both cannot be listed, as the images would then extend below the field). I think there is agreement that the status quo ante of Avan Jogia's image appearing is less preferred than either of the two choices here.
21:46, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
Second opinion
[edit]- No objection to Paulina Gaitán staying.
- Camille Kostek should definitely be removed. Deb (talk) 07:45, 19 August 2019 (UTC)
