You are not. I've had this experience with the 'pedia before as well. My favorite entries are the ones where someone realizes this and puts a list of the items I need at the end of the explanation. And I think to myself, "at least someone remembered!"
On preview: I guess after you look it up elsewhere (on preview preview, like essexjan did) you could be generous. But I say pffftt!!! Also, I guess it really just meant I had to adjust my search terms to find the answer elsewhere which isn't hard, so we may both just be overly fussy. :)
Why would you need a list? It's really easy to figure out. Is it divisible by four? And is it divisible by 100? If so, is it also divisible by 400? DONE.

Because it's Monday morning and I don't want to wear my brainz out too soon in the week. Divide by 400? Nooooo, far too much like effort! I know the information is on other sites, but you'd think that a Wikipedia article might have it as well as seemingly more important information such as how to work out leap years in PHP, C, Java and so on.
I'll have a look in the page's history and, if it's not been constantly added and removed for some reason, will probably add it.
