There was a reason for keeping the recurring characters' dates, but it doesn't really hold up anymore. Most of the characters in the list didn't have links/articles when the list was created, so the dates were kept to keep them in order (otherwise characters ended up all over the place). They can go now though, since the majority of the list has links. I'm hoping to get the 2008 list up really soon. Anemone, can I steal that note from the EE list's talk page? -   Talk?  "
