Talk:List of timelines

message: I know I've seen timelines of specific industries or companies, showing how the companies merge and split over several decades. Good examples include the telecom, aerospace, and media industries; I'm sure there are others as well. I can't seem to find these elsewhere on Wikipedia, this seems like it would be a good place to index them if they do exist.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.68.130.8 (talk) 00:53, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

message: I reomved Worf from the "Culture" listing. I don't think a timeline of a fictional character's life fits with this page. -- Stephen Gilbert 17:53 15 Jul 2003 (UTC)
:I daresay it does fit, albeit not as "Culture". I took the liberty of adding it to the "Fictional" listing. Very few people would argue otherwise, and those who do are for the most part Klingons. -Itai 14:13, 1 Mar 2004 (UTC)

thread_title:  Create a category for EasyTimeline 

message: My recent revert is because:  the Timeline of Motorized bicycle history was created here... it is part of this article just as much as any other timeline.  It is also been nominated for deletion.  I'm sure we can all wait until that's resolved before deleting a perfectly good link.  Any constructive comments?  --CyclePat 03:12, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  [[motorized bicycle]] 

message: Or better yet, what is a non-themed timeline?  What timelines wouldn't belong here?  Is there a reason that this isn't just "List of timelines"?  --JeffW 20:41, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it is supposed to mean something like "List of timelines organized by theme". Maybe? Rmhermen 22:09, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Wouldn't a category with subcategories for each theme do the same job and be more maintainable?  --JeffW 23:59, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: This far pre-dates the category system which still has its own problems.  Rmhermen 00:49, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  What is a "themed" timeline? 

message: There's only a handful of annotated entries and the division of the timelines by theme can be done with subcategories.  Therefore I've begun creating subcategories in :Category:Timelines to match the subject headings in this list and categorizing each timeline in this list into the appropriate subcategory.  When that is done (which will take a while) I'll propose this list for AfD.  --JeffW 16:58, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree.  This list is a self-reference. Those are okay for categories, not for articles. Snargle 04:46, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  This list should be replaced by a category 

message: Since this list survived its AFD, can we at least give it a better name?  This is not a List of "themed timelines", it's a Themed list of timelines, which seems to just mean that the lists are sorted by "theme" or subject.  But there are lots of lists that are sorted in some way or other, but they aren't called themed lists.
So I propose it just be changed to List of timelines (which currently redirects to :Category:Timelines which I think is against some policy).  I know I could just change it but given the recent history of this list I thought it would be better to try to start a discussion first.  --JeffW 19:21, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Or Themed list of timelines, but I prefer just List of timelines. --JeffW 22:40, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Rename 

message: I want to list the years covered by each timeline (timetable, chronology or whatever) something like this:
* Timeline of Adelaidean history (1836 - present)
* History of Bratislava (25,000,000 BC - present)
* Timeline of Ancient Rome (53 BC - AD 663)
* and so on...
Does anyone object if I do this? Donnie Love 03:04, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Dates after timelines

message: I have today put online as part of TimeSearch a very interactive timeline of more than 8000 events in world history, each linkng to the relevant Wikipedia article. I feel it would be a useful External Link in this article, but it has been created by my colleagues and myself at HistoryWorld and I know the embargo on adding one's own sites as links. If anyone else after checking it out agrees that Wikipedians might find it useful, please add the link. Bamber Gascoigne 11:10, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: World History timelines

message: the items listed do not appear to be encyclopedic entities, but Wikipedia articles (. This page needs to decide whether it is a disambiguation page (timeline (disambiguation)) or a Wikipedia index page (Wikipedia:List of timelines, WP:TIMEL), or perhaps even a stub for a full article on timeline (historical). --dab (𒁳) 10:39, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: nature of this page

thread_title:  Timeline of Brazilian history 

message: A quick search brings up literally hundreds of "timelines" that are no listed on this page. We have categories for this purpose. Why is this page a selective list of only some of the many timelines found on Wikipedia? Should we even keep this page?
Here is a small list of timelines not on this page. And considering, this is all just under the subject of paleontology.
Timeline of ceratosaur research
Timeline of oviraptorosaur research
Timeline of ornithomimosaur research
Timeline of therizinosaur research
Timeline of coelophysoid research
Timeline of dromaeosaurid research
Timeline of ankylosaur research
Timeline of pachycephalosaur research
Timeline of pachycephalosaur research
Timeline of hadrosaur research
Timeline of troodontid research
Timeline of tyrannosaur research

message: It would be nice if a section about the timelines of the history of countries would be created.
