Removal of apostrophes in dates

What is the reasoning behind removing apostrophes in entries such as 1940's. I assumed that as this is how such things were done or is Wikipedia moving to remove ALL apostrophes.

Hi Henry. Wikipedia has a Manual of Style and a specific guide to use of dates etc.

The relevant section is below:

Decades as such contain neither an apostrophe nor the suffix -ies (the 1980s, not the 1980's, not the 1980-ies, and definitely not the 1980s'). The two-digit form is never used in reference to the decade as a time span per se. The two-digit form, to which a preceding apostrophe should be added, is used only in reference to a social era or cultural phenomenon that roughly corresponds to and is said to define a decade, and only if it is used in a sourceable stock phrase (the Roaring '20s, the Gay '90s), or when there is a notable connection between the period and what is being discussed in the sentence (a sense of social justice informed by '60s counterculture, but grew up in 1960s Boston, moving to Dallas in 1971). Such an abbreviation should not be used if it would be redundant ('80s Reaganomics) or if it does not have a clear cultural significance and usage (the '10s).

Hope this is useful. BTW, you can sign your name on talk pages by using four tildes (~~~~). Cheers, Mattinbgn (talk) 02:21, 4 February 2014 (UTC)

TheFamousPeople.com as a source

Hi Henry Sowerberry. I noticed that you recently used TheFamousPeople.com as a source for biographical information in Hamish Clark.

I've gone ahead and removed it. If you disagree, let's discuss it. Thanks.--Hipal/Ronz (talk) 18:53, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
