Shouldn't be this defined in Terrestrial Time?

Yes, so why not change it now? Nike 06:53, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Is it known how long the current epoch will be adhered to? Do we know what will come next? Are these questions relevant; and if not, why not? Can this be clarified in the article? (As may be apparent, I don't have a clue.) -- Cimon avaro; on a pogostick. 11:58, 14 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Usually it's every 50 years, although I'm not certain that this is always the case. The article refers to B1875.0, which is only 25 years before B1900.0. --Nike 03:45, 16 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

What's with all the #s? I've never seen this usage anywhere. #Julian epoch is just bizarre. Also, why are there links to articles which no longer exist?

Although the article only mentions one Julian epoch, I have also seen J1900 and J1950. --Nike 08:51, 3 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

I get it, those are supposed to be links to sections within the article. You need to use a piped link. That would look like this: [[#J2000.0|J2000.0]] --Nike 09:00, 3 August 2006 (UTC)Reply
