So how can we able to condense the size of this article to suitability?

Anyone have any ideas? How much is too much? —AppleWormBoy (talk) 22:52, 24 December 2018 (UTC)

By splitting oversized sections into logically separate articles, as per WP:SPINOUT. 77.126.74.132 (talk) 18:56, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

A prototype of the 2010s decade collage

Since there was already a previous discussion on what to include in the collage of this decade, I figured I'd share mine. (From left, clockwise: Rise of ISIS from the Syrian Civil War/Arab Spring, Obama and Biden waiting on updates on the death of Osama Bin Laden, Bitcoin gaining popularity, smartphones and tablets also gained prominence, the 2010 Haiti earthquake, Brexit, DPRK-USA summit, Wedding of Kate and Prince William, and the Chile Mine accident.) —AppleWormBoy (talk) 14:03, 25 December 2018 (UTC)

Just a prototype.

I personally don't find Bitcoin representative of the decade, it's more of a hype that quickly fizzled out. I will probably pick something like the Harlem Shake to represent the rise of internet culture, meme culture and the ubiquity of video-sharing sites instead. But it's probably more considered to wait for this kind of stuff until we really reach around the end. A major event can still happen in the next 12 months.

Yeah, very true. —AppleWormBoy (talk) 13:25, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

The appearance of smartphones and tablets were definitely a massive, global, cultural shift. Smartphones should 100% be in the collage. However, Bitcoin was a minor trend, and should not be in the collage. Likewise, the British Royal family was relatively insignificant wrt pop culture outside of the UK, and should not be added either... -Harhar88

I would suggest an image of one of the early protests of the Arab Spring, which changed the Arab world in many ways and one of Occupy Wall Street, representative of the rise of anti-economic inequality sentiment/populism. RiverCastle (talk) 13:13, 11 January 2019 (UTC)

Okay, so no go on the Royal Family, but one on the Occupy Wall Street protest and Arab Spring. Interesting. What else? —AppleWormBoy (talk) 19:03, 11 January 2019 (UTC)

Ok I suppose I will share my thoughts. I too say that the royal wedding is not needed. If they had ascended to the throne maybe, but they haven't. I am more fine with bit coin but I do agree there are better events. The Arab Spring is pretty important, but in some way I guess the ISIS picture. Could represent both. I would be fine with 2 separate pictures though, one or ISIS and one for the Spring. I would say something about the progress of LGBT rights is important, as many countries have legalized homosexuals and other have legalized gay marriage. Personally I think it's important enough to be included. I like the discussion and I think we should keep it going, but I still say no montage should be posted to the original page tell the end of the decade. Only 1 year away though, so we're not far.

Ah, okay. -AppleWormBoy (talk) 03:24, 12 January 2019 (UTC)

My two cents -> Yes: ISIS, Brexit, the rise of smartphones, diffusion of same sex marriage, Arab Spring. Maybe: Occupy Movement, Bitcoin, Haiti earthquake, meme culture. No: Royal family (low impact events), mining accident (too small and local), death of Osama bin Laden (highly mediatised low impact event), Trump- Kim Jong Un summit (highly mediatised as well, in this regard I would only feature a possible reunification of Korea when/if that happens). I think we have already enough political developments, I would fill the rest with additional social (what about #MeToo?) or technological developments (not an expert on this). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dadoso90 (talk • contribs) 16:55, 12 January 2019 (UTC)

Well, let's see what I have so far: Brexit, Arab Spring, ISIS, smartphones, same-sex marriage being more tolerant amongst people, Haiti earthquake, finding water on Mars (science-related) and the Occupy movement. All righty, then. —AppleWormBoy (talk) 03:10, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

Isn't there a less generic looking picture for smartphones/tablets? The almost-entirely white image clashes with the rest and is very attention grabbing.

--213.49.64.160 (talk) 01:34, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

Yeah, I'll see if I can find a picture of a smartphone and tablet (probably together) and insert it into the new collage. —AppleWormBoy (talk) 13:25, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

Something that absolutely MUST be on there is the new global competition for machine learning and AI systems. A good image could be IBM's Watson defeating the world Jeopardy champion, or Google's AlphaGo defeating the world champion at Go. As of the mid-2010s AIs have been in every aspect of daily life in the developed world, appearing in everything from search engines, to speech recognition, stock trading, real estate transactions, movie suggestions, control systems, etc. This all occurred thanks to renewed interest/research in Artificial Neural Networks in the early 2010s, and the massive increases in computing power that occurred over the decade. You could add a chart showing the exponential increases in computing power that occured over the 2010s. All major corporations (Google, etc), and many governments (USA and China) have stated many times over the decade that they are heavily invested in achieving AI supremacy. -Harhar88

A few additional suggestions ... 1) An image for shrinking population of developed countries such as Japan (the population of japan started shrinking in the early 2010s and has only accelerated). Every country in the world has seen fertility rates plummet over the 2010s, except for the population explosion occurring exclusively in Africa. 2) The rise of the digital oligopoly, specifically referring to the "big five" (Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Apple, and Amazon), which dominate the majority of the technology industry. 3) An image for the rising global prominence of China, and their slowing economy. 4) Electric car industry appears and gains huge momentum -Harhar88

Here is another possible prototype that I uploaded to imgur .. https://imgur.com/a/IozzSNr — Preceding unsigned comment added by Harhar88 (talk • contribs) 08:32, 20 January 2019 (UTC)

I'll see what I can do with those suggestions, but I feel as if the oligarchy/Big Tech part is a bit of a stretch. The collage should be more of a generalization of almost every field of human interest within the 2010s. I don't think we should delve further like that.
