Talk:Timeline of galactic history/Legends

Timeline
Timeline section would probably be better represented using the vertical EasyTimeline. I haven't done a timeline like this before, but I'm willing to check it out when I get a chance. WhiteBoy 04:09, 20 Mar 2005 (EST)

Future of this article
What's going to happen to this article now that we're making individual articles for each year? – Aidje talk 20:23, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
 * This will remain, but it will be less cluttered if we move alot from it to those individual pages. Then we can link to those years from the main timeline, and the timeline will serve to hold everything together. -- Riffsyphon1024 20:40, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
 * But listing years on a timeline and linking to them isn't a very helpful timeline. A timeline needs to have the content that is on those pages to be useful. --SparqMan 14:30, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * This timeline can be the basic timeline covering the most important parts of the movies and the EU that is too distant to link together (i.e. 3,000,000 BBY). Then each year can cover Events, Battles, Births, and Deaths in greater detail. -- Riffsyphon1024 14:43, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

0 BBY or 0 ABY?
The official Galaxy Map has the following comment near Alderaan: "Planet destroyed in 0 ABY". This site, however, uses 0 BBY everywhere... - Sikon
 * Well, it was destroyed before the Battle of Yavin, so 0 BBY it is. --Imp 11:03, 28 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * That is strange indeed. Obviously an error on the map. --SparqMan 12:00, 28 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * So if we refer to this year, we use either BBY or ABY depending on whether the event occured before or after the battle itself? - Sikon 12:16, 28 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Its a weird situation. But you can assume that 1 ABY is exactly 1 year after the battle and the same for before it. But I wouldn't be changing anything. -- Riffsyphon1024 14:14, 28 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * That brings up another interesting issue. By using BBY/ABY rather than an IU time unit, like the Great Resynchronization, we cause some trouble with dates as it is unlikely that the 10-month standard year matches closely to when the Battle of Yavin took place. --SparqMan 15:04, 28 Jun 2005 (UTC)
