"Timeline of the interstellar medium and intergalactic medium" moved to "Timeline of theories and knowledge on the interstellar and intergalactic medium" (compare Timeline of the Universe). - Patrick 21:48 Mar 17, 2003 (UTC)

Proposal to move this to: "Short history of theories and knowledge on the interstellar and intergalactic medium given as a compact list of important fact about their discoveries and their elaboration"
 * I vote for -- looxix 22:20 Mar 17, 2003 (UTC)


 * I suppose this is ironic, and you mean that the current name is rather long. In that case I suggest that you come with a serious proposal. The original name was misleading. - Patrick 22:27 Mar 17, 2003 (UTC)
 * Yes the name, like the one of other timelines, is misleading, but now it is ridiculously long (for me the old one was not so bad). -- looxix 22:43 Mar 17, 2003 (UTC)


 * I expected to learn how the medium developed in the past 13.7 billion years and will in the next billions of years. - Patrick 22:48 Mar 17, 2003 (UTC)
 * What do you think of: Timeline of knowledge about interstellar and intergalactic medium ? -- looxix 23:19 Mar 17, 2003 (UTC)
 * Okay, with "the": Page "Timeline of theories and knowledge on the interstellar and intergalactic medium" moved to "Timeline of knowledge about the interstellar and intergalactic medium". - Patrick 01:07 Mar 18, 2003 (UTC)
 * If it's both interstellar and intergalactic, shouldn't it be media? Tuf-Kat
 * I am not sure. Perhaps it can be considered one medium, that exists in "two places". - Patrick 01:20 Mar 18, 2003 (UTC)


 * If it's considered one medium, it would be shorter to say "Timeline of knowledge about the interstellar medium". (If one is between galaxies, one must also between stars, right ?). -- DavidCary 22:46, 10 Jul 2004 (UTC)
