Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just modified 4 external links on 2005. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit User:Cyberpower678/FaQs#InternetArchiveBot*this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

The justification for adding this item was that there are few earthquakes in Africa. The intent was to give some recognition in this area (in that deadly earthquakes do happen there). This particular article is also on the small side so I didn't feel like it was one more useless item being added to an already bloated page. I did not think twice about listing a deadly and (very) high intensity shock. Dawnseeker200000:56, 20 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
I can see arguments both for and against it being appropriate. If anything were to be included, the date when YouTube first opened for uploads other than from staff might be better. — Arthur Rubin(talk)19:50, 1 December 2017 (UTC)Reply
There's nothing important about the video. We don't include the first videos, articles, posts etc. of other sites on main year articles. YT is very popular, but that doesn't mean the uploading of it first video is an important international event. Jim Michael 2 (talk) 16:41, 6 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
I don't think that's right. For one, YouTube isn't "other sites." It is the second-most visited site on the entire Internet, worldwide. Like it or not, the site has had an enormous impact on world events. Sure, that might not have been known in 2005, but we also didn't know in 1789 that the Constitution signed by a handful of representatives would last more than 200 years. This video is the beginning of something internationally momentous and is of general interest to those who want to know what happened in 2005. agtx16:54, 6 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
It's pop culture rather than an important international event. There are plenty of sites for people who want to find out about such things. Why should only YT be listed? Many sites are popular, influential etc. Jim Michael 2 (talk) 17:23, 6 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
No, that's not correct. YouTube's influence in the global political sphere is extremely well documented: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7]. Respectfully, the view that YouTube is just pop culture is simply outdated. agtx17:45, 6 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
Exclude. Purely immaterial and childish. Nothing noteworthy about the video. Why not include the first ever Instagram post too? Or the first ever Tweet? It's a regrettable slippery slope that should definitely be avoided. 146.200.180.251 (talk) 19:58, 29 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
Is there nothing of significance that happened in June? Even if it's just like two or three events, I think the page is just incomplete without events from all months. I don't know, maybe I'm just being pedantic. (User:Jtayl132) 22:21, 11 August 2021
