Rewording

I think the wording for the year articles ought to be different on Simple wikipedia than the regular site. For instance, perhaps info about a particular year ought to not be mentioned, other than leap year, common year, whether the year is ongoing, first or last year of a time period (decade, century, millennium). But maybe mention the year's position in the anno domini, millennium, or century.

Thus, 2021 can read as follows:

2021 (MMXXI) is a common year starting on Friday in the Gregorian calendar and is the current year. It is 21st year of the 3rd millennium and 21st century.

2020:

2020 (MMXX) was a leap year starting on Wednesday in the Gregorian calendar. It was the first year of the 2020s decade.

For century leap years:

2000 (MM) was a century leap year that started on a Saturday, in accordance with the Gregorian calendar. It was the last year of the 2nd millennium and 20th century. It was the first year of the 2000s decade.

Why do you feel we should leave out important information just to be different than en.wiki? Simple English Wikipedia doesn't mean we have less information. -Djsasso (talk) 17:38, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
