:I believe that the Wiki should stay as neutral as possible about the order of events, since we don't know them. I would not attempt to summarize the history. I would just list events in the order of: Creation; Spaceflight era; time travel era (which might well overlap the previous era) and the [[Last Great Time War]] era. if you start giving an order of events beyond that, you stray into fanon and speculation.  [[Special:Contributions/24.61.13.0|24.61.13.0]] 01:28, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Shouldn't the example from "The Daleks" be much later in the timeline? In "The Dalek Invasion of Earth", The Doctor explains that their first conflict with the Daleks took place a million of years after the invasion of Earth, it sounds like it should be well after most if not all of the events on this list.
