This needs some additions - is "stunk" computer a misprint?
Independence for some former colonies - which? The links are not entirely appropriate.
American sports figures and entertainers - additions?
Will add a few details when I have the time. Jackiespeel 16:59, 4 Aug 2004 (UTC)
More on women's role/position is needed. Not just for this but others Protarion 18/06/2005 3:03 PM (EST Sydney)
Needs more events happening around the world instead of more American—Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.7.122.182 ( talk) 04:00, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
The linked '1947' page seems to have something wrong with it. It gives none of the normal wiki options!—Preceding unsigned comment added by 159.178.83.133 ( talk) 18:00, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
[Jeff Miller] is said to be an icon of the 1940s, however the linked person was born in 1959 ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Miller)! Is this a typo or mistake? Ethoen 15:11, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
I thought the idea of the people section was that it contains the most significant people of the era? Regardless of whether they were considered good or evil. Shouldn't for instance Hitler be in the section on the basis of the (deplorable) impact he had on the world in that decade? BeL1EveR 09:01, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
I'm working on the pages that link to John Smith's disambiguation page, and this is one of them. There's a John Smith here under sports figures. The problem is that I don't know which John Smith is, I don't even know what sport did he play. So, for now, I took off the link, because it was wrong. But I didn't delete the name John Smith, so maybe somebody who knows who he is can put the correct link. -- Dpapic 15:30, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
I'm pretty sure the 50's were radical and the 30's were conservative, not the other way around—Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.72.99.12 ( talk) 23:36, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
Yes. Certainly in the UK the 1920s were radical until the breaking of the general strike, the 1930s saw consolidation from the right, the 1940s saw war and the late 40s/early 50s saw the post-war settlement - a direct result of the government's fears over rising militancy.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.121.243.194 ( talk) 15:31, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
Would like to request that my Forties site be referenced on Wikipedia. http://www.forties.net
This site produces material during the l940s, and WWII. Unfortunately, is not a professional site, though has material presented from memory, and/or links concerning WWII, entertainment, fashions, one room school house, and other features relating to the Forties.
The WWII page includes Japanese torture and POWs, Nazi pages of POWs, Female Spies, Women serving, Japanese surrender, VEDay, VJ Day, and others as well as cartoons which were popular during this era.
Thank you for your consideration, it is rated the highest site for the Forties on Google.

This article is very poor and can do with all kinds of help - for example, the long lists of names under "Entertainers", "People" etc might be better replaced by a paragraph and a link to a more detailed article. This is a very interesting period in time and can be better served. If I can, I'll come back and so some work on it, but in the meantime, encourage others to do so. Good to see the Fashion section: nicely done, good if all the sections can be of that standard. Nicole A. Jenkins ( talk) 04:34, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
Zen Copain provides us with another visually enhancing photo montage. This is a good start. To improve it I might suggest the following:
Please discuss before deleting content... Modernist ( talk) 14:23, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
I decided to try to improve the article as much as I can. I'll write a summary of all my changes here when I'll finish. This might take a while, so be patient. TheCuriousGnome ( talk) 22:10, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
Finally I got around to adding most of the stuff which were missing. Hope you all like my changes and would be able to help me continue improving this important article.
The changes I made during the major edit:
I hope to add more information in the future but that's it for now. TheCuriousGnome ( talk) 07:26, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
'40s' no longer redirects to this page - should the note be removed/changed?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.191.249.40 ( talk) 13:46, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
Hopefully CatJar and everybody else like my recent changes to this montage. If not, please, before you go ahead and revert everything - discuss what bothers you here and we'll work it out. TheCuriousGnome ( talk) 18:56, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
We need to reach a consensus on the final selection of images included in the 1940s montage on the top of the page through a discussion (and not through edit wars) which would include (hopefully) many Wikipedians.
The current montage is composed of the following images:
Please share your opinion on this matter BELOW supplying reasons for or against the current images included and/or supply alternative suggestions. TheCuriousGnome ( talk) 19:58, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
The founding of the United Nations should be included in the montage... Modernist ( talk) 20:12, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

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) 07:26, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
Should I replace the Battle of Britain with Operation Barbarossa? It seems like Operation Barbarossa is a much more important event than the battle of Britain in WW2, as it saw the Soviet Union entering the war, and it opened the Eastern Front, leading to tens of millions of death.
