i mean, he was a worldwide singer in the spanish-speaking music, so why dont you added it to the deaths list?, i mean, he got a lot of tributes in the day of his death ShaggyAnimate (talk) 22:08, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Emmmm, with your reminder, I now also support replacing Sandy Hook. Additionally, I hope to replace the Costa Concordia disaster with Typhoon Bopha. This was the deadliest disaster in terms of fatalities in 2012, causing 1,901 deaths. However, the issue is that although Sandy Hook and the Costa Concordia disaster caused only 28 and 33 deaths respectively, their articles are both over 200,000 bytes long and have had a wide social impact. From this perspective, replacing them makes me feel uneasy. Nagae Iku (talk) 06:36, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I don't really support this. This solar storm didn't successfully hit the Earth and did not cause any damage. I don't think it's worth taking up a grid in the collage.🤔 Nagae Iku (talk) 08:28, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
2 other candidates are the Innocence of Muslims which cause mast demonstrations and violent protests across North Africa, the Middle East and South Asia & Felix Baumgartner's famous jump which was the first to break the sound barrier without any machine assistance, i would lean more towards Felix Baumgartner's famous jump. also I wonder what is @The ganymedian thoughts on this as I remember talking to him about the 2012 collage last year. 4me689 (talk) 14:33, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I lean more towards Innocence of Muslims. It caused a huge uproar in the Muslim world with a population of 1.6 billion. As for Felix Baumgartner, I have read your discussion with The ganymedian, and it seems that it was a discarded plan. Specifically, the reason was that the screenshot of Felix Baumgartner's instant jump was removed due to copyright issues, and I don't know if there is any other image that can replace that iconic picture.
So we have listed so many events, each of which seems so important, and it makes me sad to let go of any of them. Why not try a 16-grid plan? Nagae Iku (talk) 17:45, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
If you confirm that these events are correct, I am ready to start creating a collage. Additionally, I'm also planning to create a 16-grid version of the collage, and you can also provide new suggestions. Nagae Iku (talk) 18:36, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@4me689 The fourth generation version of the collage is uploaded , with some minor adjustments made to the third generation version. For example, the positions of the Higgs boson and the Curiosity Mars rover have been swapped, as the image of Curiosity is more suitable for a square. I believe the significance of the Higgs boson is more important,even deserves a place in the 2010s collage, so it has been given the rectangular space.

I like this version, you mind putting it on the 2012 page. as for the Higgs boson on the 2010s collage I started a discussion on the 2010s talk page about it, also @Nagae Iku you mind making all the decade collages look like the year collages fixing the image resolutions and getting rid of the black lines separating the images, some of the decade collages may need it. 4me689 (talk) 20:56, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
2010s decade montageI wouldn't mind, otherwise why would I have created it? As for the issue of the Higgs boson in the 2010s collage, it was actually because of this version of the 2010s collage that I saw the problem.But after careful consideration, if all events similar in influence like the Higgs boson were included in the 2010s collage, the 2010s collage would expand to 16 grid.

The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.
I would also like to suggest changing the date format of this article to the DMY format (e.g. 6 June 2020 as opposed to June 6, 2020). The DMY format seems more international and more suitable for a "global" article like. Also DMY simply makes more sense as it goes from smallest to highest.
At the village pump, I've presented a proposal to establish a standard to use DMY in general for all articles about "generic" years. The discussion got kind of messy however, and I'll propaly restart it at some point. In the meantime, I would like it to create consensus about changing it for specifically this and all other nine articles about the 2010s--Marginataen (talk) 16:13, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
