Post 2016 events edit

Events should not be excluded because of January 20, 2017 from this threaded list.Theoallen1 (talk) 18:59, 31 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

Page size edit

This article currently has 423,011 bytes of wiki markup. That's too much by far. What's the best way to split it? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 13:48, 16 September 2019 (UTC)Reply

@Pigsonthewing: you may find Talk:Timeline of Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections useful background, if you haven't look-over already. Notice in particular My very best wishes's helpful suggestions and action. X1\ (talk) 22:01, 16 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
Should definitely be split, especially since we have now separated the timeline into threads. However, this article should replace the Timeline of Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections first. Onetwothreeip (talk) 09:22, 17 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
Note Pigsonthewing, per the Talk page wlink I provided above, there is not consensus to destroy the long-standing Timeline and replacing it with this one, much much to the contrary; see comments by BullRangifer, My very best wishes, Websurfer2, Theoallen1, and mine there. Supporting information at May 2019 DRN also. X1\ (talk) 23:37, 19 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
Yes, X1 is correct about it. Those are two very different timelines (contrary to the title, they include a lot of different events). Moreover, there was basically a consensus that the size of the list should not be an issue. My very best wishes (talk) 00:46, 20 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
Actually it is incorrect. There was no such consensus, despite choosing only certain people to notify here. Deceptively linking to a past version of an archived discussion, rather than the archive of the discussion itself, is also not welcome. The only way that these two articles include different events is if editors have been omitting to include events into one that they have included into the other.

Attribution edit

I have added my best quess at attribution. Still needed for article (not Talk page) clarity is something to the effect of (previously):

Using Template:About

For the beginning of the complete chronological timeline, see Timeline of Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections. For continuation, see Timeline of post-election transition following Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections.

I'll review rewording. X1\ (talk) 20:37, 6 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

Deletion of unsorted section edit

There is no point in retaining the unsorted section.Theoallen1 (talk) 00:01, 29 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

Multiple timelines are confusing and difficult to navigate edit

So now we have
