Span IDs

I added a bunch of span IDs for the October dates, and some other key dates from the past. I tried to think of every way a person might link to that date because we obviously have been unable to standardize our date format. However, I've already found a couple of other ways (October 11 2006 vs. October 11, 2006 ... and then there's 11 October). I have no idea what to do -- I don't think adding more span IDs is the best option (I already think the ones I added are too many), so I guess the only option is to go through the site and standardize the format. Ugh. In any case, span IDs to all the events with dates have been added. ... "This article still needs a lot of work," says the broken record. 17:19, 31 March 2007 (EDT)

Good job there. I guess the span IDs are the quickest solution available for now to allow event/date-linking to the Timeline article. --Mercury McKinnon 01:01, 1 April 2007 (EDT)

Well, I think we were late in getting a good timeline set up, and despite the great contributions from you and others, it's still not "great". Worse, we don't have a standardized date format. So you're right, I guess span ids are quick and dirty way to remedy our problems (though what I did was just a drop in the bucket of what needs to be done). — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 12:37, 1 April 2007 (EDT)

We still don't have a "good" timeline. The first five episodes can't be fully reconciled, particularly for Niki.--Hardvice (talk) 13:42, 1 April 2007 (EDT)
