UK's WWII debt to the US

December 31 The United Kingdom pays off its 4.336 billion (thousand million, not million million) dollar (US) World War II debts to the Government of the United States of America.

I have stated which meaning of "billion" was meant according to Misplaced Pages policy (billion), but the user who contributed this may not have been aware of this. It doesn't seem to be anywhere else on Misplaced Pages. Is this correct? Brianjd

37 gubernatorial elections?

Christine Gregoire, governor of Washington, may have her contested 2004 election invalidated in time for a mid-term election in 2006. So, in all actuality, there may be 36 or 37 gubernatorial elections in 2006. Velvetsmog 09:40, 10 May 2005 (UTC)

Number of the Beast

Removed this preposterous statement:

January 6 - The date, written out in standard international style, is 6-1-06. See the new Number of the Beast.

Actually, this date would be written 2006-01-06 in standard international style. The Number of the Beast is 666, not 6106. One reference to such numerological nonsense is more than enough, and the article already mentions 2006-06-06 as 'Beast day'.

lol, what the hell is this? this has nothing to do with it, i am a christain and it says, the world can end anytime, it can even end NOW!:D people aslo write dates in different forms for example Year/Date/Month Month/Day/Year or Day/Month/Year so... how can it be the mark?!><ino 09:12, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Some manuscripts have 616, which is what he might be talking about. Still silly though.... 203.79.97.94 20:07, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

06-06-06 - yeah I can see what some people mean.

• The bible does call it a human number, well the year (2006) The month (June or 06) and the date of that day (06- Tueaday) are all human allocated numbers which might be what the bible tried to explain. Whats the point of guessing anyway, Christ will only return when we least expect it, after the beasts done his damage!

Predicted Deaths?

I was wondering if it would be possible if there was a section on the page for predicting possible deaths in 2006? There are a couple of webpages dedicated to this, but it might work to have one here. Of course, death is a squeamish subject for a lot of people, so I don't know this would go, but I just wanted to see other people's thoughts.

maddox?

Maddox, owner of The Best Page in the Universe is due out with a book in March of this year.

This seems WAY to trivial to be here, there are LOADS of books scheduled to come out in 2006, so why should only this one be on here? I'm pretty sure that the majority of the people who read this page do not know who maddox is, and simply couldn't care less that this person has a book scheduled to come out (Including me). So I am removing the entry Superdude99

maddox is cooler than you - so put it back up

Events

LETS US ALL CRACK DOWN ON ALL EVENTS THAT ARE HAPPENING how come the Nintendo Revolution date isn't there but only the Sony PlayStation 3?! and it is good that there was a date for xmen 3:D

i am thinking there should be a subpage for it, for example April 14, there will be a list which links to a sub page list might be Movies, Games, Politics and Music, when someone clicks on it it links to list of games and movies coming out. ><ino 09:16, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Verifiability

This page is hardly be thoroughly eyeballed by people who know truth for each and every major and minor event. Therefore this list may contain only events that have solid confirmations (not simply rumors) in their articles, where the statement has a good chance for verification.

So, unless I see serious objections, I am going to start a serious cleanup of this page in two days. mikka (t) 01:59, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

Bandcruft

It looks like this article is heading towards listing all band releases - surely information better served on 2006 in music? Any objections to my removing them, or at least reducing them to the internationally famous (based on reknown, rather than personal music tastes) Average Earthman 20:30, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

Ben Frankilins Birhtday

Is there any reason not to list Ben Franklin's would be 300th birthday on here, because Mozarts would be 250th is on here?--kralahome 23:59, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

WWIII

• According to many, World War III is said to begin this year.

I took this out of the undertermined section because there is not factual backing to it, this year isn't in even mentioned in the WWIII article. --kralahome 00:14, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

Actually, the Doctor Who episode World War III is set in March

Doctor Who episodes

I've moved the dates of Aliens of London, World War Three, and Boom Town back three months to coincide with official chronology. Aliens of London has moved two days forward from that because Blue Peter, is strangely on at 1:30pm, thus 4 hours go by in one scene (Monday), or the more likely BBC2 repeat (Tuesday). This coincides with the National/Regional news that shows around that time on BBC1 Sceptre 13:19, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

Does The Christmas Invasion actually take plce in 2006?

solidarity conference in Bil'in

What is this "solidarity conference in Bil'in" on feb 20-21? It is really some major event? If so, why doesn't it have its own wiki page to link to? Baszoetekouw 21:41, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

An Idea - Something that will be positive for Misplaced Pages

I have had an excellent idea which I believe some users of wikipedia would like. I think it would be ueful to promote Misplaced Pages and will make Misplaced Pages look good. How about 2006 being the "Misplaced Pages Year of Knowledge". Though this is an idea and should require the support of at least 30 users of Misplaced Pages and approval from admins.

Holidays

For the longest time, the Islamic holiday of Eid ul-Adha has been in the 2006 article. In an attempt to be fair to other religions whose holidays shift around from year to year, I added Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and Diwali. But all along, I was thinking that maybe all those holidays should be eliminated from the calendar, including the Islamic holidays. It seems like the scheduled events section should be reserved for more traditional events (i.e. potential "current event" items). What does everyone else think? joturner 11:37, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

Buddhist Era

Should there be Buddhist Era (B.E.), used in Thailand, included in the articles about years. --Mreult 15:40, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
