Talk:The Seventies
List
I wanted to discuss the personal and cultural impact, like The Sixties did. This is just becoming a list, like 1970s. Mike H 03:05, Jun 19, 2005 (UTC)
We will, we will... the list is just to get us started... This just passed Navy in votes. It's likely to be the COTW tomorrow. ℬastique▼talk 04:17, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Stay groovy, man... ℬastique▼talk 04:19, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- I've started my Seventies in Television section. Can you start another section, like Music or Cinema? Mike H 18:33, Jun 19, 2005 (UTC)
Enviromentalism
Would enviromentalism be best under Economy or Culture? 1970 was the first year of Earth Day(Culture) while at the same time opposition to Nuclear energy(economy?) grew towards the middle and end of the the Seventies. Falphin 00:39, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- I would say that would be best under economy, but explain why. Mike H 00:43, Jun 20, 2005 (UTC)
Merge
I have added a template to merge this into 1970s. The two concepts are the same or similar enough that there is no reason to have both articles separate. --SPUI (talk) 02:11, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Check, Sixties, the Roaring Twenties etc. This is the COTW and so the article is only in its infant stages but it will be good by the end of the week. Falphin 02:13, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Also, decade articles are generally just lists, and the Seventies was an important cultural decade as was agree upon at the COTW. Falphin 02:14, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Why does 1970s have to be a list? Why can't what's going here instead be done there, and if necessary the lists can be broken off into articles like World leaders active during the 1970s? --SPUI (talk) 02:16, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Because those articles are always lists, and they aren't meant to go in depth. Falphin 02:20, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

- The decade articles are lists of what happened during the decade. The Sixties (and hopefully, The Seventies) seek to explain the cultural and personal aspects of it...you know, how they happened and why they happened. Mike H 02:15, Jun 20, 2005 (UTC)
- And thus what happened, which is a total overlap with the purpose of 1970s. --SPUI (talk) 02:16, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- The decade articles don't ever go into any depth. If you merged it, it would be the first time this has ever been done, and every decade article would then have to be completely overhauled, and I don't know if that's something that should be discussed just here. Mike H 02:18, Jun 20, 2005 (UTC)
- Plus, then you have to do it with every decade. Those articles work better as lists and maintain uniformity from beginning to end. ℬastique▼talk 02:21, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

- I have to concur with my associates. The 1970s represents a list of what happened. This article represents what it was about. ℬastique▼talk 02:19, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Merge or not, I think we should wait until this is no longer on the COTW to merge it! I kinda think it shouldn't be merged though. --Phroziac (talk) 02:23, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
International
The article is becoming frightfully Amerocentric. Is there anyone who can contribute with some reasonable idea about the international part? ℬastique▼talk 02:19, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- The whole idea of a collaboration is to contribute what you know. I've contributed what I know...I'm a bit disheartened that nobody else is helping. Mike H 02:20, Jun 20, 2005 (UTC)
