Talk:Timeline of the Joe Biden presidency (2021 Q3)

What to include in a presidential timeline

 * Firsts (presidential orders, Predator-drone attack, etc) - obviously this means it will be somewhat frontloaded
 * Major speeches and announcements
 * Signings of major pieces of legislation
 * Foreign trips/Major diplomatic meetings
 * Other major events by administration personnel (resignations, major diplomacy (Cuba/Iran/DPRK...), etc)

What not to include in a presidential timeline

 * Routine activities (calls, meetings, weekly addresses, trips to Capitol Hill, etc)
 * Unremarkable ceremonies (obscure legislation/executive orders, obscure nominations/speeches/announcements, etc)
 * When in doubt, many items can be judged by how much coverage they generate (breadth and depth).
 * Actions or comments by others that are not members of the administration

To sum it up, basically use commonsense, and discuss things that are borderline or questionable. &#8213; Buster7  &#9742;   21:36, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

What belongs in a presidential timeline
A timeline, especially a presidential timeline, needs to be succinct and to the point. A lean mean machine. The barest of information. The president did this, he signed that. The administration took this action, the vice-president did such and such. It should not include stuff like "the families of 9/11 victims tell Biden not to attend memorial" or the ridiculous comments of Ronny Jackson. [|This edit] and [|this edit] are irresponsible and outside the framework of a proper Wikipedia presidential timeline. I removed them once and they were returned to the article. Please discuss to prevent an edit war. &#8213; Buster7  &#9742;   22:18, 10 August 2021 (UTC)


 * I have been looking over some of the ancillary Joe Biden pages today out of curiosity, noticed this. Concur 100%. ValarianB (talk) 17:06, 12 August 2021 (UTC)


 * The timelines for Trump's presidency only include things that Trump (or others in his administration) did. Therefore, the timelines of Biden's presidency should do the same. --Numberguy6 (talk) 20:55, 12 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Trump's timelines also include things that had a significant impact on him or his administration, and the contested items on this article have not. --Numberguy6 (talk) 19:30, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
