there is a place for solar mean time on List of tz database time zones table

There is a site called (http://www.timeanddate.com/) where you can get solar mean time for the tz database table. I thought it will be a great addition to the table so people can see or calculate time difference before standard time existed.

Example of how the table looks like after the figures are inserted.

The template {{WikiProject Time}} automatically includes a to-do list that links to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Time/to do, so over 3000 talk pages link to it. I have not seen this practice with other wikiproject banners, and it is not clear that most editors of articles covered by this project have any need for it. Would there be any objections to removing the link? RockMagnetist(talk) 18:56, 31 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No one responded in three weeks, so I will remove it. RockMagnetist(talk) 16:28, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"Fall"

The usage and primary topic of Fall is under discussion, see talk:Fall (disambiguation) -- 70.51.202.113 (talk) 04:03, 2 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Korean time articles

Currently there are four articles regarding time in Korea. There is Korea Standard Time and Time in South Korea that relate to South Korea as one set, and Pyongyang Time and Time in North Korea that are related to north Korea. I cannot see the purpose of having two articles for each country, since each is geographically small and each within one time zone. Further, each "Time in X Korea" page consists of only two sentences. So I have proposed mergers here for South Korea and here for North Korea. I am placing this notice here as the relevant Project page. Regards, AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 06:16, 2 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There has been no objections in over a month so I will perform the merges. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 04:31, 13 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Seems reasonable to me. Evensteven (talk) 01:10, 15 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Inactive

I have marked this project inactive. The last time someone posted a comment here and someone different responded was in July 2013. RockMagnetist(talk) 16:26, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I suppose that's fair :) ~Kvng (talk) 04:21, 25 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Looks can sometimes be deceiving, though. I saw this when it was posted, and several other things I took note of also. I thought I'd just leave a note now to indicate that this project is not completely moribund. I joined because the subject area of time overlaps other interests and considerations of mine, and I expect to continue to participate in articles and issues that fall in this domain, as the occasion arises. Perhaps there are other editors around here who do likewise, even if they have not found much of anything to comment on at this page, as I hadn't. Evensteven (talk) 01:18, 15 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It's not about to be deleted, so don't worry. Maybe someone will revive it. RockMagnetist(talk) 03:51, 15 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
No worries. And even the page itself can serve as a drawing point for related issues, which might attract activity as well. Evensteven (talk) 06:21, 15 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I'm surprised something as mainstream as "time" became inactive. --Binaryhazard (talk) 22:27, 24 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
