Forum:Citing dates in the Old Republic era

Wookieepedia &gt; WookieeProject Knights of the Old Republic &gt; 

A quick word from Fiolli
Greetings participants of the KotOR WookieeProject.

This may not be the place to mention this, but I thought most people in the project would see it here. I want to highlight something that arises frequently in FA and GA nominations with regards to articles associated with this project. It is easy, as individuals familiar with the KotOR-era canon, to gloss through the citation of dates and ascribe them to the two games. I want to make it clear that such citation cannot be accepted, for it is not factual. 3,956 BBY is often cited as having come from KotOR, and 3,951 BBY is oft sourced to TSL. The games do not provide these dates. Other places (official and semi-official websites, continuity discussions, etc.) have either provided or alluded to these dates. With the releases of The New Essential Chronology, The New Essential Guide to Droids, Jedi vs. Sith: The Essential Guide to the Force, the Knights of the Old Republic Campaign Guide, and The Essential Atlas, we now have multiple canon sources that can provide hard dates and their sequence in canon. Please utilize these.

Thanks all, and keep up the good work.
