Talk:1776

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... --(talk)BozMo 16:04, 11 May 2004 (UTC)

Chronology of 1776 or the American Revolution?

Is this a chronological summary of major events occurring in 1776 or a chronological summary of the American Revolution? If the later I suggest moving the page to a better title. But seriously something must of happened in the rest of the world other than Mozart tinkering with his piano in July. Hmm I'll bookmark this one and see if I can find a book in the library to give me some ideas next time I'm there and remember. --wintonian ^talk 23:38, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

I noticed that too. That's why I just tagged it with Template:Tl. This is not my last name (talk) 16:27, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

Have added a few more non-US refs and removed tag, but this just happens to be a year where events in the US really do dominate written history. Camboxer (talk)

This seems like a good place to ask: what bout the the commercial introduction of the steam engine?

Orphaned references in 1776

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of 1776's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "ReferenceA":

• From Hebrew calendar: See The Remaining Signs of Past Centuries.
• From North Carolina:
• From Phi Beta Kappa Society: Robert W. Storm, "In Token of Friendship: Early Fraternity Medals at the College of William and Mary"; 1973; typescript in university archives, Earl Gregg Swem Library, College of William and Mary, Williamsburg, Virginia.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 07:37, 5 April 2016 (UTC)
