'''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 [[w:Historical present|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.)
