Double content edit
The only way I see this article surviving is to condense the timeline information on 2011 Egyptian protests into a small summary and have the content stay here in it's best form. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 03:48, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
Lead edit
Does anyone with good lead writing skills want the job of making a lead section here? - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 03:48, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
where was concensus to fork the timeline? edit
the split hatnote was only put on the main article a short while ago. where is the post-hatnote-placement discussion on the talk page of the main article (aside from earlier discussions which didn't really come to concensus one way or the other...but leaning toward NOT forking until later).--96.232.126.111 (talk) 05:52, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
Redirect edit
I've redirected this article back to the main article for a number of reasons:
- There was no consensus for the split.
- This article was copied without attribution, which is needed for such splits.
- We cannot have two versions of the same content being edited in parallel.
I am in favour of having a seperate timeline, but it is essential that it is done in an orderly way to prevent the above problems. This discussion should be had on the talkpage of the main article. -- Lear's Fool 07:21, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
- bravo! lear's fool! i can now go slumber. thanks. (i too am in full agreement that timeline needs forking...just not in manner it was done.)--96.232.126.111 (talk) 07:43, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
