Quote:

"All these dates are in a uniform time scale such as Terrestrial Time. When converted to our ordinary solar time or Universal Time, which is decidedly non-uniform, via ΔT, the dates would be about one day earlier. Because of this difference, these dates have no anniversary relation to historical dates and should not be linked to them. Furthermore, they are only astronomical dates, so they are given in the astronomical format of Year Month Day, which allows them to be ordered."

...besides, you're not going to be 'around' to check.


7805 and 7812

Is there any good reason that these numbers direct HERE instead of the appropriate semiconductor page? Which one is really the more likely target? And besides, this page contains nothing specific to either of these dates. This is illogical. 67.69.99.250 (talk) 21:15, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

Indeed. Why would anyone type those in expecting this page, or choose a number that large and ill-sensible simply to get to the 8th millennium? --Gert7 (talk) 11:19, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
I redirected 7805 and 7812, and also made a disambiguation for the 8 7600 items that redirect here. Why it was like that before escapes me, and typing other numbers from the same millenia will result in a search.

I added pointers back here to those articles, which you should have done. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 02:27, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
For the sake of historical clarity, the reason they were redirecting here was because when I wrote the 78xx article back in 2008, I created a redirect from 7805 and 7812 to that article, but Sceptre immediately switched them to point here instead (citing WP:NCNUM (which I believe may have since been revised to make it more clear that it doesn't apply to this sort of thing anyway)). We had a bunch of back-and-forth about it but ultimately I didn't have the energy at the time to keep fighting him on it so moved on to other things. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who thought this was stupid. Thank you for re-fixing it. -- Foogod (talk) 19:30, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
