::::::That said, using a century mark is a rather arbitrary means of rounding off collections of time and doesn't really mark eras effectively. That, I believe, is often the issue with marking items by centuries. Still, until someone comes up with a system that is both more accurate and at least as equally obvious, the current system strikes me as adequate. Don't eliminate it until you have a replacement. | ::::::That said, using a century mark is a rather arbitrary means of rounding off collections of time and doesn't really mark eras effectively.

:::I'm not sure I'm understanding all that this page is asking, cause it's sorta late, and I'm sorta tired. But to chip in with a technical point, the current {{tl|timeline}} doesn't at all contemplate any other epoch but AD. Since the term "BC" is mentioned in the series, that can be our organiser for those few BC dates we encounter. Everything prior to 1AD can go on a page called [[BC]], as far as I'm concerned. (I've never liked "[[early human history]]" as everything prior to the 13th century, or whatever it is, cause that term and that definition isn't in-universe.) It's not like we have a lot of BC dates anyway. I'm sure I'm missing the actual point of this discussion, but it does need to be pointed out that making pages for [[1000 BC]] poses a technical problem that's honestly not worth the effort to resolve. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} <span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">'''08:25:27 Sat '''09 Jul 2011 </span> | |||
