Talk:1924

Coolidge

February 12 and 22 both say: "Calvin Coolidge becomes the first President of the United States to deliver a political speech on radio"....which is the real date? Kingturtle 19:26, 7 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Layout

I think the page layout for "year in topic" in some places where it is flagged in the box as on this page 1921, 1922 is better. I seek opinions before making them all the same BozMo(talk)

First birth of year

Does anyone have an opinion on whether Robert N. Cronk, born five seconds after midnight on 1/1/24 and therefore the first American baby born in that year, deserves inclusion on either the events or the births list? I don't think it does. If we were to include him, we'd as a matter of principle need to include the same people for every country in every year for which we have the info, which just seems absurd given that all or nearly all such people are not notable. But I reverted it once and it got added back. Everyking 22:11, 24 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Far too trivial for an encyclopedia article about major world events. Qzm (talk) 17:57, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Immigration Act of 1924

Isn't this a pretty major event that occured in 1924? Could someone please add it and when it was passed if this is an acceptable noteworthy event? 169.229.121.94 01:59, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Collage thoughts

Discussion started by blocked sock 33ABGirl (talk) 04:53, 5 January 2024 (UTC) The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.

Please let me know if anyone has any disagreements with/suggestions to the images included in the collage--Marginataen (talk) 20:58, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

The eight events you have chosen are all great, except for the 1924 Danish Folketing election. I understand that as a Danish person, you may want to include a representation of Danish events in the collage, but you may find that the Danish election is relatively unremarkable compared to the elections of other countries listed in the article List of elections in 1924.

Therefore, my recommendation is to replace the Danish election with either 1924 Estonian coup d'état attempt: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Jaan_Anvelt_1925.jpg 、 Napalpí massacre: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Avion_Napalpi.jpg or Second Zhili–Fengtian War: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Second_Zhili%E2%80%93Fengtian_War.jpg Nagae Iku (talk) 19:42, 25 October 2023 (UTC)

Hello. The Estonian coup d'état attempt was not successful and with a war in China killing +40,000 people, I think that is more important. Normally, I wouldn't just put it in, but I don't think there's much contention about this page and it can just be changed. What to do you think? Marginataen (talk) 12:56, 26 October 2023 (UTC)

Thank you, Marginataen. I think this collage is very good and deserves to be included on the page. If others have different opinions or disputes about this collage, it's okay to make further modifications. Nagae Iku (talk) 19:56, 27 October 2023 (UTC)

As you can see, all the collages have been removed due to consensus. I am disheartened by the possibility that collages may not be able to continue to exist in the annual articles.

However, even so, I would like to comment on another issue present in your 1924 collage: the grid of Hitler may not be prominent enough or the description below it could be improved. The Hitler was imprisoned due to a failed coup is not particularly significant, and this event does not even have a standalone article. Perhaps the description below could be changed to :"Adolf Hitler is sentenced to prison after his 1923 failed coup d'état, during which he wrote Mein Kampf while in jail. He was released later that year."

Alternatively, Mein Kampf could be transferred to 1925 collage, and this grid could be replaced with the Napalpí massacre or Šahovići massacre.

• Comment: Two people don't constitute a consensus, so I'll be commenting out this collage until there has been some attempt to obtain it. And in English there is no such word as "compositioned". Deb (talk) 16:36, 5 November 2023 (UTC)

  ...And one person dosn't constitute a consensus to remove a collage. I've put it back. Please establish consensus before removing it again. Marginataen (talk) 23:39, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

  You know full well that there is currently a discussion on the inclusion of collages in general. I am removing this one permanently until such time as there is consensus to include it. Deb (talk) 08:28, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

Leopold and Loeb

Shouldn't the "crime of the century" be listed for 1924? Leopold and Loeb murdering Bobby Franks. 96.241.16.150 (talk) 15:40, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

It's hardly the crime of the century. I can think of several dozen that are more memorable. Deb (talk) 16:42, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

That's what it was called at the time. In any case, it's a famous case that involved Clarence Darrows. Books, documentaries, and movies are still be made about it. It's seem worthy of note for this year. 96.241.16.150 (talk) 16:48, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

Yes, but it's not exactly internationally notable. I'm guessing the court case is more notable than the actual crime. Deb (talk) 13:50, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
