Talk:International Meridian Conference
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is not encyclopedic. The Final Act is on the Web in other places, an external link will do just fine. E.g. http://wwp.GreenwichMeanTime.com/info/conference.htm.
What we need is a description of that the conference was about and why it was important.

[edit] Time Zones
"the conference did not adopt any time zones, contrary to popular opinion."
Could someone who knows add in the information (link) about where the times zones were decided? -- 15:48, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
- The history of time zones is in the article Time zone. Except for nautical time zones, which were decided at a conference in 1917, time zones on land have were never decided by any international conference—individual nations have always determined the time to be observed by their residents. — Joe Kress 19:38, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
