Timeline of the War in Afghanistan (October 2002)

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Timeline of the War in Afghanistan (October 2002), by DearPrudence, another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Timeline of the War in Afghanistan (October 2002) fits the criteria for speedy deletion for the following reason:

Article is nothing more than a timeline of events already covered in the article War in Afghanistan (2001–present).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Timeline of the War in Afghanistan (October 2002), please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Timeline of the War in Afghanistan (October 2002) itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. --Android Mouse Bot 2 23:32, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Template: History of Afghanistan

I noticed that you took a interest in the Template:History of Afghanistan. Recently I re-added the Hotaki dynasty to the template. Another user deleted it. I would appreciate any comments you might have at Template talk:History of Afghanistan. --Bejnar 17:03, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Afghan timelines

Hi,

I was the originator and author of most of the information in the Afghan timelines from 2000 to 2004. I see that the names of all these articles have been changed to "Timeline of the War in Afghanistan". Although a lot of the information in those timelines deals with the war, there is also a lot of information in those timelines that have to do with democracy, art, health, and culture. It is a misnomer to call them timelines "of the War in Afghanistan". It is really better suited to call them generically timelines "of Afghanistan." That generic title helps cover the other topics covered in these timelines.

I wanted to change these titles back, but I wanted to discuss the matter with you first.

Sincerely,

Timeline of Afghanistan

Welcome back. I see you reverted by changes to Timeline of Afghanistan. I understand that. I think I'll create an infobox with the timelines I was trying to include. Kingturtle (talk) 17:43, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Timeline of Romanian history

Hi! Nice work on the Timeline of Romanian history. I restored the wikitables I overwritten earlier. Sorry, edit conflict. Looks good now. Thanks! --Codrin.B (talk) 19:52, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

Thanks! I was thinking of dividing the timeline by centuries, similar to the Timeline of Croatian history I've recently been working on. I feel it makes the TOC look cleaner and eliminates the need to make arbitrary decisions on where periods begin and end. I see you're one of the main contributors to the article; what do you think?

Keeping the conversation in one place ;-) I think is very nice! The only thing, you removed the {{History of Romania}} from the right side. It is fine but maybe the top navigation that you created could be positioned in its place, i.e on the right side or even better, be a floating navigation. The reason is, once you start scrolling down, you no longer have any fast way to jump to other sections. --Codrin.B (talk) 20:25, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

There was no way to jump between sections before I added the wikitable formatting. Do you mean the links to the main articles? I think you're absolutely right and those should stay. A long main article template after the lead section or underneath the century headers could work for that. The floating navigation sounds really cool, but I've never seen one. Is there a link? Dallyripple (talk) 20:47, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

Also, having the table sortable (I can do that next) and having an image column for a small image like Wikipedia:WikiProject Dacia/Drafts/List of castra in Romania would make it even cooler.--Codrin.B (talk) 20:38, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

I love the images idea. I don't know what a timeline would be sorted by, though, if not chronologically. (Sorry about the two responses; I ran into an edit conflict :P) Dallyripple (talk) 20:47, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

I added a sample table for Neolithic. Also no need for the Date column in Prehistory sections. I guess we both want to do a lot ;-) Where are you based?--Codrin.B (talk) 20:57, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

Heh yeah we do. Chicago. I've put up my idea of the prehistory sections; feel free to revert if you don't like it. I'll start resectioning the article in a little bit.

I really want to revert back or re-add those Paleolithic, Neolithic, Ancient Times and Early Middle ages sections as I plan to add content. They can be sub-divided by centuries later (or as a parallel breakdown). The rest looks really great. Let me know if you can put them back. Thanks for all this work!--Codrin.B (talk) 22:58, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

Hehe, I'll stop for now so we don't step on each other's toes. I want to keep the grouping by easy to read names like Bronze Age, Middle Ages etc under which I can add See also, Main etc, and add centuries as parallel alternative sections. Ideally the centuries could be displayed on the right side, in parallel with the main section, not sure how to do it technically yet. It is not easy but I think is doable. Thanks again --Codrin.B (talk) 23:20, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

Man, the TOC looks amazing right now. I think I have a way to work the parallel sections. What are the dates for the chalcolithic and Dacian / Roman Dacian / Migration periods? Dallyripple (talk) 23:34, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

I added some approximate dates to the TOC, however is not that simple. Some named periods overlap with other periods. Not all items in the TOC will be sections, some will be just shortcuts to somewhere in the sections. Would be great if you can add the centuries in parallel somehow. Maybe <div align="right"/> with some anchors?--Codrin.B (talk) 23:57, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

This is the best I could do with the TOC for now. I'll wait for your changes. --Codrin.B (talk) 00:29, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

Did you know about the <timeline> tag? I took this from Iron Age:
