Talk:Timeline of Church History (Modern Era (1821-1917))

From OrthodoxWiki

Jump to: navigation, search

On all Timeline articles:

Entries should be simple and brief and read like newspaper headlines (e.g., Death of John Chrysostom, not Death of Saint John Chrysostom, native of Antioch and Archbishop of Constantinople, Great Preacher and Compiler of Divine Liturgy, renowned for numerous sermons and letters).
Use the historical present tense (e.g., First persecution begins, not First persecution began).
There should be no citations or commentary included in entries. Place that sort of material in articles which can be linked to from the timeline.
External links contained in entries (e.g., to Wikipedia) should only be included if doing so would significantly illuminate the meaning of the entry. (The idea is not to link nearly every possible word, but only those which have significant meaning to the history of Orthodoxy.)
External links should only be used if an article on the subject being linked would be inappropriate for OrthodoxWiki. Otherwise, link the words in question to existing or not-yet-existing OW articles.

Thanks!
