Because when people talk about a decade, they mostly refer to it as 'cultural eras', for example, 80s music, 70s movie, 90s fashion etc. But when people talk about a century, they mostly refen to it as an overall human history. So they try to be more 'scientific' by saying '20th Century' rather than

Perhaps this is not as important to others on here, but I just can't help but keep coming back to Babe Ruth being included in the 1920s montage. Then why not Jordan in the 1990s montage? To many, Jordan was even more globally relevant than Ruth in their respective eras, and defined his decade in the

should be included in the lead montage somehow. Dolly the Sheep can stay, I've got no problem with that. But Michael Jordan is still considered by many (including me) to be the greatest basketball player of all time. And he became a true international sports icon in the '90s. M.J. should be included

Note also that the same Dolly the Sheep image is still included in the body of the article with the

I completely agree! I don't have a problem with Dolly the Sheep staying either, I just figured that with the formatting of the montage, it would be easiest to simply swap out the image with this one of Jordan, but if someone can make it work, I'm totally cool with both images (MJ and Dolly) being

I have a feeling it has to do with Babe Ruth being one of the first sports celebrities during some significant pandemics and wars. Being among the first sports heroes sounds pretty culturally significant to me. Please refer to the section about "Contemporary impact" on the Babe Ruth Knowledge

What about maybe making each of the photos on the bottom row just a tad thinner, and doing almost a 50-50 split with the pic above of MJ and the one used here of Dolly the Sheep? While the Soviet Union Dissolution photo and World Wide Web one are slightly wider. ~

I notice that this list suffers from being biased in favor of the Western world, where we have more trivial Western events and fewer important non-Western events being listed. This was just one instance of the

I agree with Ythlev - I remember the handover of Hong Kong, even though I'm european and was a child at that time. Can't be compared to the funeral, which, after all, was a media event about a celebrity.
991: 657: 551: 1412: 1042:
Is it just me or is this whole page filled with bias? Some of the things are wrong here and the 90s had a lot of bad events that defined the decade but for some reason isnā€™t here.

The first mammal cloned from a somatic cell is much more significant. That is not to say Michael Jordan is irrelevant but these two cannot be compared

What do we think about swapping the picture of the cloned Dolly the Sheep with this image of Michael Jordan in the lead montage? It has been since the

believe Michael Jordan should be added to the montage, as it's a limited selection of the events, which had the largest impact on the world.

It does not strike me as being a worldly event defining the 1990s either; that is why I have just removed the mention. The United States
