Talk:1860

Layout proposals

I have made some year layout proposals which would affect this page: the year in topic paragraph would be replaced with a see also box.

If no-one flags where I have put the discussion on my talk page that they object in a month I will start making everything consistent. It may take some time... --BozMo 19:06, 6 May 2004 (UTC)(talk)

Should 1860 not be written MDCCCLX (three C's) in latin? Bbqufyo (talk) 07:33, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Corner Stone of University of the South

• October 10 - The original cornerstone of the University of the South is laid in Sewanee, Tennessee.

I removed the above - I'm not clear on how the laying of the cornerstone is on a level of importance with the first phonographic recording or the defeat of the last army of The Two Sicilies. If I'm wrong, the text remains above for reinsertion. --Badger151 (talk) 19:51, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Scott de Martinville and his recording

"April 9 – French typesetter Edouard-Leon Scott de Martinville has his daughter sing the French folk song "Au Clair de la Lune" on his phonautograph; producing the world's earliest known sound recording (however, it is not rediscovered until 2008)."

According to http://www.firstsounds.org/sounds/scott.php the researchers were incorrect in their playback speed; it appears that the singer may be Scott de Martinville himself. Based on this, should the above entry be changed to reflect that? --FeanorStar7 (talk) 12:10, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Yes, done by WP:BOLD. --MarkSteward (talk) 17:44, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
