Talk:1940s

This needs some additions - is "stunk" computer a misprint?

It must be. Googling the phrase "stunk computer" gives only wikipedia and its mirrors/forks. I'll delete it. --Lancevortex 18:28, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Independence for some former colonies - which? The links are not entirely appropriate.

American sports figures and entertainers - additions?

Will add a few details when I have the time.

More on women's role/position is needed. Not just for this but others

Needs more events happening around the world instead of more American

The linked '1947' page seems to have something wrong with it. It gives none of the normal wiki options!

[Jeff Miller] is said to be an icon of the 1940s, however the linked person was born in 1959 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Miller)! Is this a typo or mistake? Ethoen 15:11, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I thought the idea of the people section was that it contains the most significant people of the era? Regardless of whether they were considered good or evil. Shouldn't for instance Hitler be in the section on the basis of the (deplorable) impact he had on the world in that decade? BeL1EveR 09:01, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

John Smith

I'm working on the pages that link to John Smith's disambiguation page, and this is one of them. There's a John Smith here under sports figures. The problem is that I don't know which John Smith is, I don't even know what sport did he play. So, for now, I took off the link, because it was wrong. But I didn't delete the name John Smith, so maybe somebody who knows who he is can put the correct link. --Dpapic 15:30, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm pretty sure the 50's were radical and the 30's were conservative, not the other way around
