[Wikipedia-l] Year in music

[Magnus Manske]

He's back with another, similar IP. Now [[2003]] already contains:

    * [[2003 in film]]
    * [[2003 in literature]]
    * [[2003 in music]]
    * [[2003 in sports]]
    * [[2003 in television]]

IMHO this is *way* too far out.

I left him a note at Talk:List of musical events 
<http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:List_of_musical_events>, lacking a 
better place. Someone please make him stop, before we have to clean up 
all year entries again.
