Year articles for "big" years
There are some years that could do with its own article, such as 3000, 3001, etc. But also 2000 and 1999 and thereabouts. Minor periods will of course remain in this article, but the "big years" will be split into their own article.

This is only a suggestion, however, I don't know how many of you want to expand this out in minor articles, cause this one is getting big. --SvipTalk 20:15, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

Ep-refs?
I think these items need ep-refs. Obviously the smallest kind we have, so as not to clutter the place up. But it really really needs it. --Buddy 21:37, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
 * This is a good idea to bring up a standard again for an inline reference to episodes. Something I have brought up before, mind you.  Such a standard could easily work in this case as well.  The concept was pretty straight forward, e.g.1ACV01 [[Image:Episodeicon.png|10px|Episode]].  That would give the illusion of two things that we intend; a, it is a reference to an episode/film/whatever and b, it is inline and slightly subtle. --SvipTalk 00:29, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't think it's and illusion, but yes. That's small enough to look nice. &rarr;Buddy 12:18, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Let me create some templates then. I'll wear my foremost shell., 🇫🇮 and  (see  and ) --SvipTalk 12:44, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I have now used your concept in the 2999 section. Opinions?  In addition, I have added every episode from that year as well, I think it is fair for us to debate almost everything that occurs in these years. --SvipTalk 14:16, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Time travel goof?
Since the Machine language time code is a one-way time code, Bender was sent to go back in time and wait where Planet Express would be. But how can Nudar (or another of the aliens)obtain the book "A Brief History of Time Travel" and still come back to the present? 22:04, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I think the joke is that someone else did it. --SvipTalk 22:29, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

redirect?
ok, i'm going through the year articles. should i just redirect to their century instead?--I&#39;m Scruffy... the Janitor. 21:49, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Sure. And redirect the century to the timeline article instead. --SvipTalk 21:58, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Even the 31st century? That should at least have an article. 23:01, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Just saying; if you can't make stuff up for the 20th century article, make it a redirect for now. --SvipTalk 23:17, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Holiday Special
I know The Futurama Holiday Spectacular wasn't canon, but maybe we should find some way to incorporate them into the timeline. --User:Unit 3.0 20:07, 23 November 2010 (EST)

Real World Production
In several of the year articles, we have additions that don't really deal with Futurama at all. 1821 has Mexico's independence from Spain and 1977 is listed as the year Elvis died and Carter became president. These additions are extremely minor and in my opinion do very little, if any thing, to explain the events that make the show what it is. Further, The Timeline article even says in its first line that it is a "timeline of fictional events from Futurama." I think these articles need to be refocused on Futurama and that an overhaul is warranted. Teyrn of Highever 04:01, 26 April 2011 (CEST)
 * If not an overhaul then at least a standard for what goes onto the timeline. 2001 doesn't have Bush succeeding Clinton but 1977 has Carter succeeding Johnson? Teyrn of Highever 04:32, 26 April 2011 (CEST)
