Talk:9th century

The new historical objects from 9th century- added

I thought some interesting museum objects would improve the article. These objects were photographed in the new "compatible" 3D technique. This allows reasonably good images with no glasses that show up like reality for the kids (there are millions with these simple glasses). We are not trying to be the 1911 Encycl. Britanica, but rather the 2011...in my opinion.3dnatureguy 03:41, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Dates

Please check Wikipedia style guide WP:DATES, Talktosocks. Either the AD/BC or CE/BCE use is acceptable, but the first editor of this article used AD. You may use the page history tab to see for yourself. JBogdan 19:13, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

I don't remember what MOS:ERA said back then, but now it says "do not use CE or AD unless required to avoid ambiguity." Mojoworker (talk) 17:30, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Eurocentricism

I understand the authors are most likely from the Western part of the world (even more likely they're from the US) & their familiarity with Eurocentric history. I would like to say the paragraphs are written as if the only history is the Western history without parameters limiting the scope. I'll find a way to introduce them, but I fear it'll be brutish. Someone, please refine & add other history for the 900s please --Duemellon 16:55, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Removal of Britain

Why is are events in Britain removed from this article? If there was a Great Britain in the 9th century article, I could see it, but Great Britain in the Middle Ages (if the 9th century is in the middle ages?) doesn't cut it. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 17:58, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

I have started the Britain section and will continue to add information of the ninth century in geographical and historical locations. This article, like a few I have noticed, lacks a great deal of substance compared with articles such as the eleventh century. Yggur (talk) 09:34, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

(here as a result of RFC). I am not convinced of the merit of articles such as this. If retained, I would suggest that there should be separate paragrpahs of text relating to the four countries in the British Isles. Timelines are in my view of little value. Furthermore, considerable discipline needs to be exercised as to what can be included in an article such as this. WP is not good at providing articles on general topics to provide an overview, as they tend to become cluttered with excess detail that ought to appear only in more detailed ones. Middle Ages refers to the period between ancient and modern; ancient usually ends at the Dark Ages and modern starts in 1450 1500 or 1600, so "Middle Ages" is correct.

At the moment I have provided an overview of the ninth century in England and Ireland. I have yet to finish the paragraph on Scotland and start one on Wales. They already are in seperate paragraphs as you, Peterkingiron, suggested and I will continue to use such format for other areas. I certainly agree with you on the excess detail and the going beyond of generalisation, but this article is no where near to containing excess information at present. I would much prefer to see this article with excess information instead of the rather empty present state. But to prevent any excess information, which, for me, seems a long way from this article's present state, it would be wise to provide more specific overviews in seperate topics, such as ninth century history of Europe, Asia, Africa, Americas etc, or perhaps in relevance to specific faiths of the time, Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism etc. Peterkingiron, you are clearly concerned about the issue of excess information in articles that provide 'general' overviews of the century. Perhaps a way to counter this issue would be to create a taskforce to edit out any such information in century overviews. I will continue to add information of the ninth century and I would certainly be willing to discuss whether this article contains, what you deem as, excess information.
