Computer viruses as non-natural disasters?[edit]

In the 2000s computer viruses reached an unpreceded scale in terms of effects on society and I do think some of the big ones like Mydoom, Sobig, SQL Slammer, Storm(botnet) deserve a spot on the non-natural disasters list. Also there oddly isn't any real mention of computer viruses under Computing and Internet. 172.116.113.102 (talk) 06:40, 25 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A revamp to the internet section in the intro.[edit]

A revamp to the internet section in the intro: 1: Friendster wasn't the first social networking site, this would be clear if you read the site's Wiki page. 2: Make it more data-focused, only mentioning websites that were in the top 10. Koopinator (talk) 20:20, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Renaming of Article[edit]

The issue within this article is that it speaks of the 2000s within a the United States perspective, if that is the case then should the article be renamed to "2000s in the United States" or something similar. Connor W (talk) 16:39, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think this is a good way to go. The article may have a US perspective, but it has a huge amount of non-US information, in the Politics and wars, Disasters, Economics, Religion, and other sections. Dan Bloch (talk) 18:17, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Seems like the article is more skewed to a British perspective than a US perspective Oli Wheeler (talk) 20:28, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Collage[edit]

It appears an RFC on collages on Wikiproject years will be interpreted to also ban collages in decade articles. Users here may wish to participate. Koopinator (talk) 07:16, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
