== years page layout== I have made some year layout proposals which would affect a significant proportion of the year pages: an example of proposed style is 1850. It is detailed on my talk page. However pre 1800 the change is largely cosmetic. If no-one flags where I have put the discussion on my talk page that they object in a month I will start making everything consistent. It may take some time... --user talk:BozMoUser:BozMo 16:05, 11 May 2004 (UTC)
