Please remove the mention of the singularity in 2045 per WP:CRYSTAL thanks. 35.136.190.243 (talk) 15:47, 16 April 2025 (UTC)

Done I was initially torn, because it could be argued that this entire article runs at least somewhat afoul of WP:CRYSTAL, but after thinking about it more I agree that one person's somewhat arbitrary prediction isn't what this article is for. DrOrinScrivello (talk) 13:08, 18 April 2025 (UTC)

Extinction predictions

This topic was originally included in the "Predictions and forecasts not included on this timeline" without a formal discussion, so I took it here. What are your thoughts regarding this subject? In my opinion these predictions should be limited to animals which are already Extinct in the wild or those that are functionally extinct. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 14:50, 25 June 2025 (UTC)

Robert Shields diary

Under 2049, we list: The embargoed 37-million-word diary of Robert Shields will become available to read and count words. In the article about the diarist, that information has been tagged as outdated in 2024. The diary is available for research at the library. Renerpho (talk) 15:35, 7 July 2025 (UTC)

Birthdays and Wills

There seems to be an ongoing slow-motion edit war about whether to include in the list the "1,000-something" birthday of ancient figures, and whether to include the scheduled release dates of the wills of various people, including members of the Royal Family. Personally, I think that this is WP:TRIVIA that doesn't need to be mentioned, but the Royal Family Wills does have a citation behind it (the other stuff doesn't), and I'm preemptively bringing this here (and will also request temporary page protection as all warring parties are already confirmed) for further discussion. I take no position on the content myself. Taking Out The Trash (talk) 17:54, 31 October 2025 (UTC)

Content is just vandalism. Take the first item, 2217: The will Bella Bond is scheduled to become public knowledge, like a two year old murder victim has a will. Same for 2904: The will Dean Shillingsworth is scheduled to become public knowledge, same applies with the additional caveat of 900 years being preposterous. FDW777 (talk) 18:14, 31 October 2025 (UTC)

Yikes... I didn't notice those two. Definitely not a good look. Though at least some of the disputed content was/is definitely plausible like the tidbits about the Royal Family and something or another concerning a time capsule. So it's not obvious vandalism, even if parts of the content are implausible. Thus even if I had noticed the two questionable entries I would probably have still treated it as routine edit-warring to be safe. Taking Out The Trash (talk) 21:15, 31 October 2025 (UTC)

2040s

As it is now only 14 years away can we give the 2040s its own article? PatGallacher (talk) 18:06, 12 January 2026 (UTC)
