Musk missing

Musk made the list 5 times: 2010, 2013, 2018, 2021, 2023 93.162.16.32 (talk) 16:15, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And so is Putin, who made the list in 2008, 2014, 2015, 2017, and 2022 (at least). I think the list in this article may be fairly incomplete. Djkauffman (talk) 08:09, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Italics treatment

Since "Time 100" is the name of an official list, why is only "Time" being italicized? This doesn't seem appropriate. The entire title should be treated consistently, as it is its own entity. If someone wrote an article titled, "The Bible and its Influence on Europe", would "Bible" be emphasized differently from the rest of the title? Writing "Time 100" looks especially odd (and confusing for those not familiar with it) when cited in other articles. Ghost writer's cat (talk) 16:41, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ghost writer's cat: Wikipedia style is to italicize the names of periodicals (see MOS:NAMESANDTITLES). An official list would not be italicized. The Bible is a confusing example because ancient religious works are not italicized (see MOS:ITALICTITLE). Typically an article with an italicized part would be formatted like "The origin and evolution of Homo sapiens". Take a look at our manual of style at Wikipedia:Manual of Style. It's terribly complicated, but it will give you an idea where to start. SchreiberBike | ⌨ 22:47, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, let's say the article was titled "Reading Gone with the Wind in the South". Would "GWTW" be treated differently from the rest of the title? (Traditionally, book titles should be underlined, but I noticed Wikipedia doesn't do that for some reason.) Ghost writer's cat (talk) 05:06, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ghost writer's cat: Yes, as an article title, it would be "Reading Gone with the Wind in the South". Even book titles are sometimes handled that way. There could even be a book title like The Story of the Titanic, where the last word would not be italicized because it is a ship name and the two reasons for italicization cancel out. I see the movie Raise the Titanic and the book Raise the Titanic! are not handled that way though. I haven't seen underlining used much since we moved away from typewriters and were able to italicize easily. SchreiberBike | ⌨ 23:54, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
