replies: text: I've made a slight change, it now says the first official American champion instead of the first American champion, since most people consider Paul Morphy to have been World Champion during his day. I wish someone else cared. 24.226.77.23 (talk) 13:11, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

message: I have gone through this article making the following changes:
* All instances of past tense(s) changed to present as per Timeline of chemistry noted as an example in Wikipedia:Timeline
* U.S. and U.S.S.R. to US and USSR as per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (abbreviations)
* Major increase in links to other articles
* One or two removals of indecipherable English and rewording of dubious prose
* Conversion of the few non-American English spellings to American English in the interests of consistency as per Wikipedia:Manual of Style
* Removal of the section about the arrival of A-10 aircraft as it lacks relevance
There is still lots to be done on the referencing, and I may have missed a few style points, but it's a start. Davidelit (talk) 14:56, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

message: It says in the article that Bernard Baruch coined the term 'Cold War' in 1947. Had George Orwell not already used the term in his article in The Observer of March 10, 1946?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.113.203.45 (talk) 16:31, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

message: I added "citation needed" to "June 8: The Red Scare reaches its peak, with the naming of numerous American celebrities as members of the Communist Party.".  It'd be nice to have a better sense of when the "peak" is, but I suspect whatever month or year is identified is going to have the "-ish" suffix.  :-) -- RobLa (talk) 21:47, 30 July 2016 (UTC)

message: I believe that many events in this timeline have been cherry-picked to make the U.S appear in a more positive light than the USSR. While also describing many arguably trivial events that occurred internally in the U.S with a lack of research into the Soviet equivalents of such events.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by OBRkenobi (talk • contribs) 22:44, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Neutrality Dispute 

message: The first line of the chapter about 1954 reads "January 21: The United States launches the world's first nuclear submarine, USS Nautilus. The nuclear submarine would become the ultimate nuclear deterrent." This seems to be a misunderstanding by the author of this lines. If I'm not mistaken, the USS Nautilus had a nuclear-driven propulsion, but she was not a submarine carrying rockets with nuclear warheads, as did later submarines (which normally had, but did not necessarily need to have, nuclear-driven propulsion). Therefore she could not play a role as a nuclear deterrent, even less be the ultimate one. I suggest removing the second sentence. --Payton M. (talk) 19:08, 3 January 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  Summary 

message: On Dec. 7, 1975, it has Indonesia's occupation of East Timor. It says an estimated 100,000 - 180,000 will be killed in the 25-year occupation. It should be "were killed". It might also be the previous estimate from 1975, and if so, maybe someone should look into the actual death count. Bashstash01 (talk) 00:53, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
