== Past Tense? ==
Cheers.—[[User:InternetArchiveBot|'''<span style="color:darkgrey;font-family:monospace">InternetArchiveBot</span>''']] <span style="color:green;font-family:Rockwell">([[User talk:InternetArchiveBot|Report bug]])</span> 20:42, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
 
Why does the article begin by referring to the subject in the past tense? Is it because the beliefs have lost their significance despite existing in words or otherwise? [[User:MS2P|MS2P]] ([[User talk:MS2P|talk]]) 15:46, 26 December 2020 (UTC)
== External links modified ==
 
:The article says, "The 2012 phenomenon was a range of eschatological beliefs that cataclysmic or transformative events would occur on or around 21 December 2012." It's past tense because those people who formerly held the mistaken and unscientific belief that world-changing events would occur on that date were forced to abandon those ideas when that did not in fact occur. So, the 2012 phenomenon is something that happened in the past, so to speak. <span style="font-family: cursive;">— [[User:Mudwater|Mudwater]]<small><sup> ([[User talk:Mudwater|Talk]])</sup></small></span> 18:39, 26 December 2020 (UTC)

This is just a thought, but shouldn’t the movie “2012” be in here? Like a “dramatization” section? [[Special:Contributions/2601:246:900:1E20:387E:28B4:ABCE:A779|2601:246:900:1E20:387E:28B4:ABCE:A779]] ([[User talk:2601:246:900:1E20:387E:28B4:ABCE:A779|talk]]) 16:09, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

I'm new here, but I believe footnote 135, the Ipsos poll, has suffered from link rot. The cited study can be found at this URL.

:[[WP:FAR|Featured article review]] is an established process on Wikipedia. If you feel it needs to be reassessed, then nominate it.

Re: info box, and creation at 13.0.0.0.0. I don’t get how (Dec21) 2012 is the end of a baktun, but it’s still 13.0.0.0.0. Especially since the 13 is the baktun number.
 
It says that "21 December 2012" redirects here. So does "December 21, 2012". Please add that in, as I can't figure out how to do it myself. [[User:IPs are people too|IPs are people too]] [[User talk:IPs are people too|🇺🇸🦅]] 13:11, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
