Talk:Timeline of Baltimore

Page layout

Any interest in revising the article layout? The current design is fine, but by comparison, the design of Timeline of the San Francisco Bay Area streamlines the layout of years with multiple events (centered headings, fewer bullet points, etc.). Following the San Francisco model, the layout of the Timeline of Boston was recently revised; see changes here. Thoughts? -- M2545 (talk) 09:19, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

Split

I've split off the pre-20th century history, to reduce the enormous page size. A bot should fix up the missing inline references shortly, but please will someone familar with the subject review the non-inline references section, and copy relevant titles to the new articles?

• Would that splitting this were the solution. There's so much unsourced original research here by the 169 range--the 'Baltimore historian' who has added anecdotal commentary across dozens of articles--that this can be dramatically cut. 2601:188:180:B8E0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 17:32, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
  • So fix it. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 09:16, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
    • I may yet, Pigsonthewing. The unsourced, original research and personal commentary looks to have been added by block evasion IPs of Duane E. Tressler (talk · contribs). There are two concerns with my doing mass reversions/deletions. The first is basic housekeeping, that of picking through masses of content to remove unsourced without deleting good stuff. The second is doing so as an IP, since mass deletions are apt to be misconstrued as vandalism. The community is increasingly filled with editors who can not discern the validity of such corrections, coming from an unregistered account. 2601:188:180:B8E0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 14:55, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
    • It goes back years. The blocked account was often editing from a Baltimore library without logging in, well before the block. 2601:188:180:B8E0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 15:00, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
