Talk:Timeline:Pre-eclipse

Not that it really matters too much right now, but most of those events are sentences and should have periods: (Zahava fights in the IDF., Mr. Bennet is born., Hana vows to avenge her progenitors' deaths, and honor their legacy., etc.) — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 17:56, 14 April 2007 (EDT)

• I know that a lot of them are, but just to make it consistent, I removed the trailing periods. Otherwise, we'd have to make all of the parts complete sentences, and I don't really feel like doing that for that many parts.--Bob 18:08, 14 April 2007 (EDT)

Reference template?

One thing I think might look nice would be a template to format timeline references (quotes, dates on receipts, that sort of thing.) I'm thinking of something like this:

"He says six months. Seems we're made of time."--Jessica (Stolen Time)

That would make them stand out a bit from the rest of the page and make it clearer what they are.--Hardvice (talk) 20:49, 14 April 2007 (EDT)

• I'm liking that with the quotes. With pictures, there's only really two pictures that refer to a time table - the receipt and Zane's obituary. I think it'd look cool, but I just don't really know how it could be flexible to handle a thumbnail. Maybe one of y'all know.--Bob 20:53, 14 April 2007 (EDT)
  • We could just do a text link to the image, like this:

Nathan's hotel bill is dated October 6th.(Hiros)

but then I guess we'd be missing the pictures (unless we put the image in a gallery, too.)--Hardvice (talk) 21:03, 14 April 2007 (EDT)

• I tried toying around with different things, I think it looks better the way it is now IMHO. But the quotes definately look a lot better.--Bob 21:14, 14 April 2007 (EDT)

• I like the idea of distinguishing the quotational references from the bulleted events, but I'm just not digging the way it looks. I don't have a better suggestion, and I'm not hating the blurby quotes, it's just not my favorite. I wonder if there are any other possibilities. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 22:09, 14 April 2007 (EDT)
